Ease of use helps to quickly get the necessary skills of a home hairdresser. And the money spent will pay off handsomely.

Modern devices make classic and universal men's hairstyles: “Canadian”, “Half-box”, “Underkat”, “Hedgehog”, “Under zero” and other silhouette trims. Without them, today it is impossible to make women's "Kare", "Bob", "Cessun", "Gavroche". They make edging, graduation, mixing, shading the neck and neck. One device with a decent bundle is enough to make the whole family look stylish, practical and fresh every day. Three nozzles - and you can create a hairstyle pattern.

Device and principle of operation

A hair clipper is an electrical appliance in which comb inserts are driven by a motor or an electromagnetic coil. Removable parts have serrated blades of different sizes, sharp combs are fixed on the basis of the device. During operation, the removable and non-removable parts move, turning into micro-scissors that easily cut off excess hairs.

Type and nutrition

By type, these units are vibrating and rotary.

1. Vibrating have a motor that starts from the mains or battery.The power is small, designed for a short operating time, so you have to take breaks every 15 minutes.

• comfortable in weight, relatively light;
• always budget price;
• quite decent equipment;
• in some models there are interchangeable knives.

• low power will not allow you to work with a hard and thick mop;
• noisy, vibration interferes with precise work when creating a pattern, edging;
• limited hours of operation.

2. Rotary ones are started by a lever, the coil supplies an electromagnetic field. Salon masters use just such devices. Rotors easily mow vegetation of any rigidity. In addition, they are easy to clean and lubricate - they are collapsible.

• work quickly with any type of hair;
• powerful equipment, powerful motor;
• can be washed with ordinary water in the washbasin;
• lack of vibration makes the work more accurate;
• reliable and durable.

• quite heavy, the hand gets tired;
• not a budget option.

The machine is powered by the mains or battery.

1. Battery mechanisms: built-in batteries, refueling from the mains - the basis of work. Machines with such nutrition are suitable for creating edging, shaving excess on the neck, shortening children's soft hair, removing vegetation in the nose and ears.
2. Network devices: more powerful, but weigh less, work with any type of hair, the process goes faster. The main haircut is best done with a machine with mains power.
3. Universal devices: models that work autonomously and with a cord from the mains. The most convenient at home, when you can do the base of the hair on mains power, and refinement - on battery power.

Appliance parameters

When choosing electrical engineering, you need to study its capabilities so that there are no unpleasant discoveries during use. Let's deal with the main parameters that affect the capabilities of the device.

Power

The higher the power of the device, the softer the stroke during operation, there will be no hooks and pulling out. According to the type of model, the power of the machines looks like this:

• rotary - 25-45 W;
• vibration - 9-15 W;
• rechargeable - up to 12 watts.

What the power says: a mechanism with a power of up to 10 W will bite the strands, it will be difficult to cut thick and hard manes, the knives will get stuck in the hair. Such low-cost, low-power devices are suitable for children and elderly relatives whose hair becomes softer and thinner with age. If the family has curly hair, and the male half has a beard, then it is better to buy a powerful device.

nozzles

More often, knife blades are made of stainless steel with a titanium coating (sometimes with carbon). Expensive models are equipped with ceramic knives. When choosing, consider:

• knives without coating quickly become dull, poorly sharpened;
• titanium coating is a great option for sensitive skin, young children, allergy sufferers;
• diamond coating - copes with the toughest options;
• ceramics - do not heat up, hypoallergenic, durable.

The service life of knives also depends on sharpening. If the blade geometry is changed, it will be sharp for a long time. Self-sharpening knives do not need to be sharpened at all.

Knives on hairdressing units are:

• removable;
• stationary;
• adjustable.

Vibrating models have stationary knives at the bottom and movable (adjustable) knives at the top, which can be pulled forward with a lever. This is a convenient option, the only negative is that this technique does not cut bald.

Rotary and battery devices are supplied with removable devices from 0.1 to 4.2 cm. Premium models are equipped with trimmers for working with eyebrows, beard, mustache, body groomers, with a bikini area.

It is clear that the more nozzles, the higher the price of the goods. But a low-functional device will not help replace a hairdresser either. Choose models where at least three nozzles are indicated in the kit so that you can adjust the blade height from 5 to 40 mm. Pay attention to the presence of a protective cap in the kit, which helps to control the length of the cut. It is more convenient to work out the area behind the ears with side nozzles.

Additional functionality

Well-known brands in this field are constantly adding additional options that pleasantly distinguish their models, make working with the device more comfortable and convenient. Here is some of them:

1. Wet cleaning. Without removing anything from the unit, you can rinse under the tap - the case is waterproof.
2. Auto cleaning. A useful feature for the lazy, very convenient: it saves time and nerves.
3. Charging indicator. The right option, always aware of the state of the unit.
4. Built-in vacuum cleaner. Very progressive know-how: slices do not fall on the face, neck, but are sucked into a special container. The biggest discomfort is experienced by those who have their hair cut, precisely from this.

Ergonomics

It is important that it is convenient to work with a hairdressing device:

1. The handle is not slippery, all rubberized or with overlays; the speed switch is under the finger;
2. The lightness of the device will be added by a case made of a lightweight alloy of metals, plastic is lighter, but will quickly become unusable;
3. On the road, it is more convenient to use equipment without a cord, on batteries;
4. For a better result, the device must have at least two speeds, at low speeds it is more convenient to cut problem areas.

Verified brands

In this matter, there is no need to open America, it is better to turn to trusted companies that have been producing haircut accessories for decades. They closely monitor the quality, compete in the functionality of models, have a flexible pricing policy. By choosing well-known brands, you protect yourself from buying low-quality goods.

Philips (Netherlands) and Panasonic (Japan) dominate the list, these are multifunctional machines with reasonable prices and good build quality. Among budget options, preference is given to the Chinese Polaris. Beauty salons prefer to work with the German company Moser. Among the popular brands are the French BaBuliss, German - Rowenta.
