Using thinning shears on hair typically leads to decreased volume. Thinning shears are specifically designed to remove bulk from the hair, making it lighter and less dense. When sections of hair are cut to reduce their thickness, the overall volume of the hairstyle becomes more manageable and less heavy. This technique is particularly useful for clients with thick, coarse hair who desire a softer and more controlled look without sacrificing length.

While the other effects mentioned in the options may occur to some extent (like loosening texture), they are not the primary or most consistent outcome when thinning shears are utilized. The main goal of using these tools is to reduce volume, which can also enhance the overall shape and style of the hair.
