To blend natural hair with a wig, a stylist might use:

  1. Blending shears

  2. Block pins

  3. Curling irons

  4. Thinning shears

The correct answer is: Blending shears

A hairstylist might use blending shears to create a seamless transition between the natural hair and the wig, by removing excess bulk and creating texture. Block pins are used to secure the wig in place, not to blend the hair. Curling irons can be used to style both the natural hair and the wig, but do not specifically help with blending. Thinning shears are used to remove bulk and create texture, but may not give the best overall blend for a wig.
