Professional hair clippers

Long gone are the days when there was a fashion for long men's curls. Therefore, now professional hair clippers are in great demand in beauty salons and at home. With a wide range of products, a specialist can easily choose a high-quality machine that is ideal for his work. But a beginner will have to work hard and carefully study the market of professional equipment, so as not to make a mistake when choosing.

Professional hair clippers have significant differences from household ones. Electrical appliances designed for work in hairdressing salons have sharp and high-quality blades. Branded machines have the best steel knives. And so they cut more evenly, more precisely, without pulling out hair and without injuring the skin. Such devices can work continuously for an hour, when clippers and edging for home use can take no more than 20 minutes. Professional models are durable. On average, the equipment can withstand up to 10 thousand hours of work.

Today, the choice of professional equipment is quite large.Each machine differs from the rest in class, cost, characteristics, functions, manufacturer and appearance. There are electrical appliances according to the principle of operation of the engine.

An electrical appliance based on the action of a motor is considered the highest quality and most powerful (20–45 watts). Because of these characteristics, rotary machines are more expensive than all others. Due to a powerful engine and a cooling element, professional devices are designed for continuous operation for an hour. This feature is ideal for professionals in hairdressing and beauty salons. Positive qualities include low noise and low vibration levels, as well as the availability of a wide range of different interchangeable blades that are quickly and easily changed in one motion, for example, working blades, edging knives and knives for curly original haircuts. Rotary devices easily cope with thick and coarse hair. They are considered quite high quality and durable.

The principle of the engine is the interaction of electromagnetic coils and blades. Vibrating models are a budget option, they are ideal for beginners or for self-use at home. Of the minuses, noise, low power (9–15 watts), increased vibration, and fragility can be distinguished. The vibrating hair clipper can only work continuously for 10-15 minutes, and then turn off by itself. This causes a lot of inconvenience if there is a large amount of work to be done.It can also be noted that almost all electrical appliances do not have removable blades, and this makes cleaning and maintenance very difficult.

Lightweight and practical machines that can operate both from the mains and from the battery. Almost always, a fairly long cord is included with the tool, which allows you to cut hair without restricting movement. A wireless electrical appliance is a great assistant in hairdressing, as it can work without interruption for up to 60 minutes. It is suitable for both edging hair and complex haircuts. Cordless models have blades that can be easily removed and changed with one hand movement. The powerful motor makes it possible to make fast movements. And the built-in microprocessor maintains a constant voltage. To ensure full operation, it is recommended to charge the battery for 2-3 hours. But it is worth noting that the battery needs some care. In order for the machine to last as long as possible, it is necessary to completely discharge the battery for the first three times, and then charge it. Experts advise to carry out such a procedure at least once a month.

A professional or a novice specialist needs to find exactly the machine that will fully meet all the requirements. The main condition for a high-quality and reliable product is the purchase only in professional outlets. Key points to consider when buying:

• Blades. The main thing you should pay attention to when choosing devices is the material of the blades. In cheap models, there are only metal knives, which begin to rust over time. High-quality devices almost always have a coating on the knives - diamond or titanium. This property ensures a long service life of the machine, and also does not harm the scalp.
• Power type. According to experts, the best model for hair treatment is rechargeable. It can function both from the battery and from the mains if the charge suddenly runs out. On the modern market there are tools with two batteries that extend the life of the device.
• Blade frequency. The speed of cutting depends on the frequency of movements. Beginners need to choose hairdressing machines with a low speed, but it is worth remembering that such devices catch on the hairs and pull them out by the root. Professionals need to purchase devices with a power of 20 watts or more.
• Noise and vibration. The lowest level of jitter and noise in a battery-powered device. This is considered the best option for hairdressing.
• Nozzles. They come in four types: removable, non-removable, fixed and adjustable. With the help of these details, you can adjust the length of the hairstyle, this will allow the professional to create various images. Usually well-known brands come with at least six nozzles.
• Specifications. Weight, design and handle surface are also significant when choosing a typewriter. It is very difficult to work with a heavy, uncomfortable and slippery device for a long time without a break.Therefore, before buying, you need to touch and pick up the device in order to feel whether it is convenient or not, whether there is a rough or rubberized handle, whether it is possible to quickly and easily switch the buttons in the working position.
• Cleaning system. A professional clipper should be easy and quick to clean. To do this, it is necessary that there are removable knives. If the blades are fixed, then a large amount of time will be spent on regular disassembly and assembly of the device. There should also be protection against getting cut hair inside the device.

For a high-quality and fast haircut or edging, you need to choose products only from well-known and time-tested brands.
