How to choose a hair clipper

A hair clipper is a thing that can bring comfort and save money into your life. With its help you can do almost any hairstyle, in a minimum of time and in any convenient place!

How to choose the best hair clipper? Let's talk about this in more detail!

How to choose a machine

There are several aspects based on which you can make the best choice.

Power type

As a standard, there is a division into:

•  Rechargeable;
• Network;
• Combined food type.

The battery type will allow you to use your device anywhere - you just have to take into account the battery life. It is recommended to carry a spare set of batteries with you.

Network types are convenient in places where there is a permanent connection to the electrical network. Also, such hair clippers have an electric cord, which can sometimes interfere with operation and requires more careful attention to its winding and unwinding.

Combined types of machines are the best option, however, their price is slightly higher than the previously described options.

Electric motor power and overall operating speed

Experts logically advise that the higher these two indicators, the better.However, you should not critically focus on these aspects, because many manufacturers deliberately inflate the figures in order to increase sales: inflated figures do not increase the comfort of a haircut.

Standard options for hair clippers with average performance may suit you.

Sales consultants will help a beginner buy a hair clipper - they will give practical advice based on your tasks and wishes. After gaining experience in working with hair, you yourself will be able to select the necessary parameters of the unit for future haircuts - each “master” has his own unique style of work, even if it concerns home haircuts.

Knife making material

The most common material for making knives is stainless steel. Sometimes you can find options with carbon coating or titanium, however, this is the exception rather than the rule.

Knives are sharpened using lasers and there are even special services for sharpening machine knives. You can sharpen a knife at home, but this requires a certain skill, which comes with experience.

Purpose

The tool can be divided according to its purpose for haircuts:

• Usov;
• Beard;
• Decorative (filigree);
• Universal machines.

For a novice hairdresser, it is better to buy a universal hair clipper; this choice can be used even after a long time. The tool will not lose its relevance and will be able to perform hairdressing tasks.

Number of nozzles

The range of attachments varies in values: from 0.5 millimeters to 4 centimeters.

The standard kit usually contains 8 attachments. This amount is most often sufficient for most haircuts.

If desired, you can purchase a universal nozzle, which can be adjusted mechanically or manually (rarely does a manufacturer equip its products with an adjustable nozzle “by default”).
