Kasho Scissors and supermodel Naomi Campbell’s long association seems to come to a tragic end. The news that she has decided to shave her head off has been really big. While many would think that there’s some specific occasion for this, let me tell you that it’s all rubbish. The truth is – she has started to lose hair at a very fast rate and to keep this under wraps, she has decided to go bald.

It must be noted that Naomi has undergone a series of hair extensions and that has kept her hair so far. Hairstylist Sam McKnight had warned Naomi a long time back to take care of her hair but she didn’t and now has to face the consequences. But have you ever thought why would a supermodel lose her hair?

The answer is constant use of various cosmetic and hair care products. Hair is very sensitive and exposure to harmful products or improper handling can damage them. She has had many professionals design her hairstyle and not everyone would have used quality tools. But now when she has decided to go bald, her association with the different hairdressing tools like Kasho Scissors, left handed scissors, thinners, etc would come to an end.

Kasho scissors are known to be very effective type of hairdressing scissors. Their manufacturing process is very articulate and that’s why the final product is world-class. This scissor with convex-edged blades is known for its durable cutting edge. These blades are honed to an extremely sharp state to ensure maximum durability by hollowing the inner side to such a point that the blades only touch at the point of intersection.

Also, the sophisticated disc operation system in which the screw system consists of an enclosed ball bearing unit, a special spring and a synthetic disc, ensures uniform pressure and provides smooth operation. These unique features of the Kasho Scissors guarantee exceptional quality and durability.

Kasho Scissors are special hand crafted hairstylist scissors which are known for its quality and durability. In the early years, these scissors were made by skilled craftsman from Japan who would work hard to give them a sharp finish and form.

But today these hairstyling shears are created by using advanced engineering and heat treatment technology. Special attention is given to the design and standards that has been followed since a century. This process provides the same quality scissors which were made by the Japanese Samurai sword smithies.

Even history tells us that these special scissors were of great importance then as they are now. Today many professional hair stylists use the Kasho Scissors because no other hairdressing scissors can come close to them, in terms of the cutting edge technology. These scissors are accurate, durable and a pleasure to work with. Their build is superb and the performance is simply amazing.

These shears come in straight, offset and semi-offset varieties to suit the needs of the stylist. The straight style offers a more conventional cutting tool and is advisable for those coming from a straight scissor to their first Kasho. The offset variety can be used once the hairdresser is comfortable with the grip and the handle of the straight one. But mostly the semi-offset variety is used by majority of the hairstylist, probably for the comfort factor.

Other notable benefits include a high quality ratchet screw at the pivot point, which allows the user to adjust the cutting tension according to their preference. Also, a removable finger rest sits at the top of the scissors to aid comfort and the blades are finished in satin. The blades are either convex or semi-convex to ensure accuracy and lower the resistance, thereby reducing hand fatigue.

The reason why the Japanese worked so hard in sharpening their samurais was because they knew the importance of a sharp samurai. Similarly every professional hairstylist knows the importance of Kasho Scissors and hence feels pride in using them to give a cool hair stylist which makes the heads turn around.

People frequently donate their hair to charity – usually for wig-making for people who have lost their hair due to an illness. This is a great thing to do, but one seven-year-old girl in Canada went one step further.

She and her mom submitted their waist-length hair to kasho scissors, as part of a donation to cancer patients. Additionally, the little girl – Oceanlilli – gave up her life savings to further help kids in need. She donated her “piggy” bank – a real-sized fire hydrant shaped bank to the Credit Valley Hospital Foundation for its cancer center.

“This is my piggy bank, and it’s pretty full,” she said. She and her mom received support from two dozen friends and family members who turned out to witness her hair-cut. Members of her mini-fan club also made donations in return for a turn with the hair scissors.

Oceanlili has been begging her parents to let her donate her hair since she turned four. Finally on her seventh birthday, they finally agreed.

“I’m very proud of her,” said her father Peter. “We support a lot of charity and (OceanLili’s) been talking about this for three years.”

What a way to ring in a new (birthday) year!

Take Molly Sims’ gorgeous half up/half down look that she was recently spotted in at the opera. It’s feminine and not the least bit inappropriate for the venue, but it’s still very simple and easy.

The perfect combination for such an event!

You can own all the hair scissors and great products that you want: kasho scissors, name brand shears, funky razors, toshiba scissors – but if you’re aspiring to one day own your own salon all those things aren’t the same as finally being about to build your own business.

For one woman, realizing that dream has been an exciting, scary, and rewarding ride. Tina Stevens opened her own salon in West Virginia after working for several other shops in surrounding areas since graduating from Huntington Beauty College in 1996. After more than ten years working for others, Stevens decided it was time to put her dreams into action.

“I just thought it was time for it and the encouragement I received meant a lot to me,” Stevens said.

Stevens said the opportunity has made her feel independant and has so far been a very positive experience: she’s tripled her business since opening in July. It may have to do with going above and beyond basic hair-cutting services. She will soon be carrying Mirabella and other makeup products. Shear Perfections currently does not offer manicure or pedicure services, but is planning on doing so in the future.

Stevens is averaging 368 customers a month, or 4,416 customers a year. With that kind of average, she should be living her dream for years to come.

Tina Fey isn’t the only NBC star who could play stunt double to Sarah Palin.

Heroes star Christine Rose, who plays Petrelli family matriarch Angela on the hit show, told OK! lots of people have been telling her she could easily be confused with the vice presidential candidate— the only thing missing is the glasses – and she doesn’t deny it! “The first person who said that was me! I said she stole my hairdo!,” smiles Cristine, whose Heroes character wears her hair in a big teased bun with bangs.

While one may have her hair treated with Kasho products and Kasho scissors – or something similar – the other probably frequents local Alaska salons (although perhaps not for much longer!).

Meanwhile, Rose is delving into the sinister on Heroes, which has a three-hour season premiere on Sept. 22. “I’m still looking for a weapon of mass destruction to get my will done,” Cristine says of her character. “She gets a little more manipulative.”

Seems like we’ve been seeing a lot of updated and funky cuts and hair-do changes on A-listers lately. Posh debuted her pixie cut, Kate Moss cut her hair into a choppy bob, and the latest, Agyness Deyn debuted a flapper-inspired crop. While it takes amazing scissors -something like kasho scissors, we’re betting – to get these great looks, are these cuts really all that? Katie Holmes has been seen sporting a similar cut, as her latest iteration of the bob.

The flapper cut originates from the 1920’s and has had a revival in recent years, so much so that it’s being called the defining cut of the decade. It seems a little odd to us that someone would christen it as such, with many other hairdos also making waves.

One thing’s for sure, Katie and Agyness have become style icons thanks in part to their great cuts!
