FAQ - Kasho Design Master 8T 8 Tooth Chunker

Q: What is the Kasho Design Master 8T Chunker used for?
A: The Kasho Design Master 8T is a professional texturizing shear designed for maximum weight removal and creating bold, chunky texture. With only 8 wide teeth, it is the most aggressive texturizer in the Design Master lineup—take away maximum weight and create bold texture with the Design Master 8 Tooth Chunker . It is the tool to reach for when you need to remove significant bulk and create visible, dramatic texture.

Q: What hair types and styles is the 8-tooth chunker best for?
A: The 8-tooth chunker is ideal for thick, coarse, or heavy hair that requires substantial weight removal. It is the go-to tool for maximizing weight removal when you need to lighten dense hair without compromising shape . It is particularly effective for creating bold, modern textures and removing bulk from very thick hair.

Q: Why choose an 8-tooth chunker over a 15, 30, or 38 tooth version?
A: The magic of texturizing lies in the number of teeth. The fewer the teeth, the more hair is removed per cut (meaning a heavier, chunkier removal). The 8-tooth chunker is for maximum weight removal , while the 15-tooth provides perfect texturizing, the 30-tooth thins, and the 38-tooth blends beautifully . Choose the 8-tooth when you want bold, visible texture and significant bulk removal.
