My mentor told me to stop using hair shears on dry hair, I didn't listen

Last month I was at her salon in Austin and she gave me this whole lecture about how cutting dry hair with sharp shears causes fraying. I figured she was just being old school, so I kept doing it my way on a client's layered bob. Three days later the ends looked split and ragged, and I had to redo the whole cut for free. Has anyone else learned this lesson the hard way or is it just me?

Hmm, is it really that deep? I've cut dry hair for years with no issues, maybe it's more about the shears themselves or how you're holding them.

Nope, you're right, I'm sure 70 years of haircutting textbooks were just overthinking it.
