Professional Japanese Texturizing Shears – MO T14 – Made in Japan
✨ Quick View Summary
Use it like a cutting shear—the finished area looks natural with minimal visible marks. Ideal for stylists seeking precise, natural layouts and for barbers who do scissors-only work.
6.0″ · 14T delivers a confident 55–60% cutting ratio for fast shape setting when used by experienced hands. Eyeglass handle keeps balance neutral and flips easy—hand-finished in Japan.
📌 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.
• Slide thinning/texturizing: Most MO models (except T40 and T14) use oblique, wave-like grooves that allow slide techniques.
• Note (T14): This model’s groove pattern does not support slide texturizing. Use cut-like passes for a natural, mark-free finish.
✂️ Michiko Select MO T14 — 6.0″ 14T Cut-Like Texturizer (55–60%)
MO T14 blends the feel of a cutting shear with texturizing output: cut with your usual straight-shear motion to achieve natural diffusion without obvious marks. It’s strongly recommended for stylists focused on precise, natural layout and barbers performing scissors-only cuts (widely favored in Japan).
💡 Technique — Cut Like a Shear, Finish Like a Texturizer
Work with straight, controlled passes (no slide). Use shallow bites on fine hair and moderate depth on coarse textures. Because removal is high (~55–60%), build shape gradually and check visual weight frequently.
🎯 Cutting Applications — Natural Layout · Scissors-Only Barbering
• Natural layout control: set shape with minimal line marking—great for precision silhouettes.
• Scissors-only barbering: fast perimeter refinement and interior weight control without clipper texture.
• High-texture finishing (dry): airy movement with a cut-like feel; refine bulky corners and weight lines quickly.
