It is a recommended practice to hold the scissors in your weaker hand in the middle of the cutting edges. Consider placing the ring finger of your side into the top opening and put your little finger on the pinkie rest that can be seen on the outside of the opening. You should use your ring finger on the opening in a way that the ring of locks goes around the finger.

Now place your thumb into the end opening so that the top of your thumb is in contact with the top-inside part of the opening. The band should go around your thumb about 1/4 inches below the bottom part of the thumbnail.
