Before You Choose — Thinners & Texturizers
• Longevity: Thinners/texturizers are often used for 10–15+ years. Invest in a high-quality tool.
• MO Series (Eyeglass handle): Thinners = T40 / T302 / T253 · Texturizers = T165 / T147 / T138 / T1010 / T14.
• Teeth & grooves: Tooth count and the grooves at tooth tips vary by model. Except T40 and T14, most MO models use oblique, wave-like grooves that enable slide thinning / slide texturizing (same motion as slide cutting with a straight shear)—a little practice helps.
• Note: T40-style groove models cannot perform slide thinning. Keep this in mind when selecting.
Michigan Select MO T147 — 6.0′′ 14T/7-Groove Texturizer (40–45%)
MO T147 stands for 14 teeth with seven wave-shaped grooves at each tooth tip. It creates pronounced yet controlled texture—speeding up visual weight removal and adding airy movement while preserving silhouette.
Slide Texturizing Ready — 7 Wave Grooves
Thanks to its seven oblique, wave-like grooves, MO T147 supports slide texturizing. Use a light glide and steady angle—similar to slide cutting with a straight shear. Start on mid-lengths to tune section size, angle, and bite depth.
Cutting Applications — Strong Texture · Diffusion · Control
• Visible texture through mid-lengths and ends with clean diffusion.
• Perimeter softening after blunt work while maintaining shape integrity.
• Dry finishing for face-framing and fringe; refine heavy corners without harsh steps.
Tip: Removal varies by section size, angle (0–45°), and bite depth—use shallower bites on fine hair; go deeper on coarse hair.
Symmetric (Eyeglass) Handle — Neutral & Agile
The eyeglass handle offers neutral balance and effortless overhand/underhand flips—ideal for tight zones near the fringe and ears.
A medium-size thumb ring stabilizes grip, and the detachable finger rest lets you customize support during long sessions.
