Lefties Lament No More!

15% of people are left handed, but up until now there were very few haircutting scissors that catered to this percentage – many left-handed hairstylists have ended up learning how to cut hair using their right hand which can cause problems in terms of ergonomics and functionality.

Fortunately, their are some popular scissor brands and styles now available for lefties!

Many are made out of super-steel, which is actually a better component than what the right handed scissors are made out of, so you’ll finally get the advantage! Some also feature an improved adjustor dial – which can be thick and awkward. But this one is slim and it won’t get in the way as you cut. For additional cutting ease, look for handles that are ergonomic, and a bent thumbring and permanent finger rest.

A lot of design and attention went into creating these scissors – so that when you put it in your hand it feels like it should be there!

Am I considered as ambidextrous?

I think I’m a natural righty – it was only until a few months ago I started to train myself to write with my non-dominant (left) hand. Since then, I started to use that hand a lot, to strengthen it, and it felt very natural, and it didn’t feel as if I was forcing myself and putting myself in a lot of bother using my left hand more. Here are some things I do with my left hand: stir, spread butter on toast, eat cereal, pour drinks, hold my bottle when I’m drinking, text, brush my teeth and hair, hammer nails, throw a baseball, use scissors and more. I really believe that I’ve got more strength in my left hand, and I’d only discovered that a few months ago, as everyone in my family is right-dominant and I never thought of it. Just recently, when I was working in a lab, a left-handed person commented how I seemed to be using my left hand even more (even when I use the mouse), and I’d never really thought about it. My friend has also commented that I use all the fingers (and thumb!) of my left hand, but only the middle finger of my right hand to type – although I think this is a universal trait. I use my fork and knife in a right-handed way, but sometimes I can’t find the strength in my right hand to e.g. cut my steak, and I switch with my left hand. Sometimes, I even feel unnatural doing stuff with my right hand e.g. using my mouse although I’ve been using my mouse with my right hand practically all my life. So I reckon that my right hand’s more on precision (writing only) and my left hand’s more on strength (all else). So… am I ambidextrous?

if you can write with you left hand and then your right hand you are ambidextrous
