Just insert the hair bundle tip-first into the barrel of the stacker and tap the base of the stacker on the table. The hair fibers will slide until they stop at the bottom of the stacker. Turn the stacker horizontal and remove the base. The exposed hair tips will be even.

Keep another pair of heavy duty scissors or wire cutters handy for bigger cutting jobs that require less detail work and where precision isn’t the name of the game. These scissors have been uniquely designed to perfect the task at hand.
