Old barber told me to stop using thinning shears on dry hair

A guy named Sal who's been cutting since 1982 at Mike's Barbershop in Philly told me thinning shears on dry hair causes split ends. I didn't believe him, figured he was just old school. After 6 months of angry customers asking about frayed tips, I tried his way with damp hair first and the complaints stopped completely. Anyone else run into advice that felt outdated but ended up being right?

Yeah "angry customers about frayed tips" pretty much sums it up. Old man Sal knew what he was talking about.

Funny how the old way is usually the right way when you actually try it.
