I have very thick hair (male) - thinning scissors time!?

I'm thinking about making my hair a bit thinner. My hair is VERY thick. It's 2.5 inches long and it's black. Am I ready to go to a barber shop and have them use thinning scissors? I don't want it extremely thinned out, but just to the point where it doesn't look frizzy and I don't want my hair to look like a freaking bush. Think it could work out?

Any past experiences with having your hair thinned with these scissors? Thanks.

yes you're definitely ready to go to a barber's. i thin my brother's hair out all the time,it's about the same length as yours. just explain to your barber about what you want.

have your barber thin it out and explain to him that you don't want it too thin, so ask if you can run your hands through it to make sure it's thinned out enough.
