Attachments for hair clippers

Hair clippers have been actively used both in hairdressing salons and at home for many years. They differ from each other in configuration, manufacturer, appearance and cost. But few people know that there are also special various nozzles for a hair clipper.

Hair clippers with interchangeable heads are becoming increasingly popular. And all thanks to these additional accessories.

Nozzles for machines are plastic combs of various lengths. They can be narrow or wide, unilateral or bilateral. The more attachments attached to the machine, the more haircuts you can do with it.

A feature of such accessories is that they can be either built into the machine or removable. In addition, there are universal nozzles that fit any hair clipper, and there are unified ones that are designed only for one model or series of devices from one manufacturer.

Today, such accessories are divided into several categories depending on various functions.

According to the purpose of the nozzle for hair clippers are divided into:

• Universal, that is, those that can be used on virtually any clipper having a suitable head width. Such nozzles are very popular and have a low cost.
• specialized, that is, attachments that are only suitable for certain models of machines, for example, Zelmer 39Z013. Using them on other devices may render the device itself unusable or result in poor quality and painful haircuts.

In addition, such important accessories are divided into several groups depending on the length of the haircut step, that is, on the height of the hair left. The more of these nozzles in the kit, the more variety of haircuts you can create. In most cases, clippers can have four to seven nozzles in three millimeter increments: 3 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, 21 mm. Some manufacturers offer even more nozzles. The size of the smallest of them is 1.55 mm, and the largest is 3.5 cm.

Cars or additional sets with a large number of nozzles are most suitable for professional use; four of them are usually enough for home use. The most commonly used comb options are 3mm, 6mm, 12mm and 15mm.

Such accessories are also available one-sided or two-sided. In the first case, the comb nozzle is located only on one side. In the second case, the combs are located on both sides of the nozzle, while they are divided into pairs, for example, 3 and 6 mm, 9 and 12 mm.

And do not forget that the nozzles are divided into several more groups depending on their direct purpose:

1. Attachments for direct hair cutting. These are exactly the accessories that are divided into groups depending on the height of the hair cut.
2. Accessories designed for the correction and cutting of the beard. They differ from standard nozzles in their size and width of the ridges. They are suitable for almost all modern models of this device.
3. Figured are actively used by hair stylists recently, as they allow you to create fancy patterns on your head. Sold as whole sets or individually. Suitable for almost all clippers.
4. Using a special thinning nozzle allows you to give short hair a beautiful and natural look. Such an accessory is used at the last stage and with its help the hairs, or rather, their tips are cut at different lengths, which gives the hairstyle a beautiful and most natural look.
5. Tapered accessories. Such nozzles are suitable for certain models of clippers and they are used for cutting eyebrows, mustaches, and sometimes for removing hairs in the nose or ears.
6. The polisher is a special accessory, which is used to correct haircuts with split ends.

You can use all these accessories both separately and together, creating incredible haircuts for short hair.

Even such, at first glance, simple accessories today are made from a wide variety of materials. Most commonly used:

• Plastic. They have a low price and a fairly wide range, easy to care for and operate.
• Metal. Typically, stainless steel is used. Such nozzles are characterized by a rather high cost, durability in operation, as well as a decent weight.
• Silicone. Accessories from this material began to be made quite recently. Such nozzles are light in weight, have a fairly long service life, and they are also very pleasant for the skin and do not cause irritation on it.

For those who are new to using hair clipper attachments, it may be difficult to know how to change them correctly.

If the accessory is one-sided, all that is needed is to lightly press on its base, adjacent to the head of the machine, and slide it forward. A barely audible click should be heard, and the nozzle itself can be easily removed. Now you need to choose a nozzle of a suitable size and tightly attach it to the head of the machine. Then, with light pushing movements, drive the nozzle into the sinuses. In some models, after the nozzle is attached to the machine itself, it must be pressed hard and that's it.

If the accessory is double-sided, then you need to select a suitable nozzle and attach it to the top of the device with a comb of the required length. Then the accessory is tightly compressed on the sides and put on the device. It is removed in the same way. If you look closely, many machines have small holes in the upper part near the blade - that's where the bulges located in the middle of the double-sided accessory should fall.

Not only the quality of the haircut itself depends on the correct choice of nozzles, but also the life of the entire device as a whole.

If these accessories are purchased for home use, it is best to purchase the attachments individually. Give preference to those that you use regularly. The best material for their manufacture is plastic or silicone. In these cases, it is better to purchase universal accessories suitable for all models of machines. They have a lower cost, and are not inferior in quality to highly specialized ones.

If you purchase attachments for a hair clipper that is used regularly, then it makes sense to pay attention to silicone or metal models, as they are more durable and have a longer use life. The number of nozzles is selected in each case strictly individually. It all depends on what kind of haircuts and how often the master does. It is in such cases that it makes sense to purchase nozzles of various types immediately in sets.

Proper and regular care of such accessories ensures their long-term preservation in their original form and high quality haircuts.

After each use, the nozzles must be cleaned of hair residues with a brush, and at the end of the working day they must be washed in warm water with the addition of soapy water. Then you should dry them thoroughly and put them in a box for storage.

If metal ghbcgjcj, ktybz are used, then once a week they must be lubricated with special oil, and after a couple of hours, carefully wash it with a dry and clean cloth.

Any type of nozzles is recommended to be disinfected at least once a month. It is better to use pharmacy products for this, for example, chlorhexidine. Compliance with all these recommendations will allow you to choose really suitable high-quality and durable attachments used in hair clippers.
