✂️ Michiko Select TO T6518 — 7.0″ 18T Texturizer (50–55%) with 3D Handle
Designed for pros who need speed, control, and clean diffusion when removing bulk or softening harsh lines.
The 7.0″ length gives excellent visibility and section control in scissor-over-comb, while the 18T layout produces a bold, even bite—ideal for thick/coarse hair and structured men’s cuts.
🎯 Cutting Applications — Debulking, Blending & Diffusion
• Fast debulking on dense sections with predictable removal.
• Perimeter softening and line diffusion after blunt work—reduce “hard edges” without losing shape.
• Extension blending and seamless transitions in mid-lengths.
• Scissor-over-comb texturizing for barbers—steady, powerful strokes with long reach.
Tip: Cutting ratio varies by section size, angle (0–45°), and bite depth. Use shallow bites & lower angles on fine hair; go deeper on coarse hair.
🖐️ 3D Ergonomics — Larger Openings, More Leverage
The 3D handle keeps the wrist more neutral and improves torque in heavy sections. A large-size thumb ring and slightly larger finger openings create a secure, roomy grip—less squeeze, more control in long sessions.
