Which finger rests in the finger brace when using shears?

When using shears, the finger that rests in the finger brace is typically the third or ring finger. This design feature is intended to provide better control and stability while cutting hair. Placing the ring finger in the brace allows the barber to maintain a secure grip on the shears, making it easier to execute precise movements and cuts.

In barbering, the correct finger placement is crucial for effective technique, as it influences the overall control and comfort of the shears during use. This technique helps in achieving the desired results while minimizing strain on the hand. By stabilizing the shears with the ring finger, the other fingers can easily operate the blades with better dexterity, allowing for smoother cutting motions.
