Yes, Basix is beginner-friendly due to its affordability and versatile semi-convex edges. Kizamu requires more skill for advanced techniques but is manageable with practice.

Do they cause hair damage?
When used correctly (proper angle, clean cuts), they minimize damage. Incorrect techniques or dull blades can cause split ends, so maintain regularly.

Clean after use, sanitize with alcohol or barbicide, oil the pivot point weekly, sharpen every 6–12 months, and store in the provided wallet to protect blades.

What’s the benefit of offset handles?
Offset handles create an open hand position, keeping elbows and arms lower, reducing wrist strain and fatigue during prolonged cutting sessions.

Basix Offset rivals budget brands like AMA for affordability but lacks premium features. Kizamu competes with Matakki for convex edges and ergonomics at a lower price, both outperforming generic scissors in durability and precision.
