scissors vs clippers and poofyness

I am currently growing my hair out but this is just a question I am curious about from past haircutting experiences. It seems whenever I would grow my hair into a style like from an all-clipper-cut, it would develop a bigness or poofyness, but If Id get it cut into the style with scissors it would be the same length in the same places, but w/o the bigness. If the ends are cut with scissors do they behave differently than with clippers? Or is it just that the roots are healthier than the ends so when the ends get cut it becomes more managable? just wondering

my guess would be that when your hair was trimmed using scissors it was left longer. from my experience, clippers are used with 'comb' attachments that keep the cutting part a uniform distance from the scalp resulting in a shorter cropped style... kinda like mowing a lawn of hair. scissors are more of an end trimming tool... for longer hair which will lay down more as it grows out. a clipper cut will stand up as it starts to grow because the individual hairs are shorter. poof.
