Polaris hair clipper
Going to the hairdresser is an expense for the family budget. Which haircut for a man requires a monthly correction. If there is not one man in the family, but several, then this is very noticeable on the pocket. In such cases, a homemade household hair clipper from a popular but not too expensive brand, such as Polaris, helps out well. In the assortment of the company there is not one model, but several, which allows you to choose the right option as quickly and easily as possible. If you get the hang of it, then with the help of a typewriter you can independently make amazing fashionable haircuts and shave interesting ornaments.
Polaris "RNS 2501"
This is one of the budget models in the line of hair clippers. Its cost is around 1000 rubles. The model is presented in three colors: steel gray, burgundy and gray-golden.
The weight of the device is 400 g, it works only from the network. The width of the knife is standard - 45 mm. Using the regulator, you can set the required hair length - from 20 to 8 mm. Since the knife is non-removable, it will not work to shave your head. However, thanks to a good five-step adjustment, you can make a smooth transition between the length of the hair at the top of the head and at the back of the head. Blades are made of stainless steel. The kit comes with oil, a cleaning brush and even a hairbrush.
Users note a good cord length, which allows them not to stand near the outlet, but to work with the machine at a distance from it. It is also noted that the minimum hair length corresponds to the declared one. The machine cuts the hair neatly, does not pull them.
Polaris "PHC 0704"
This device is made in blue and black colors, has a weight of 350 g and is in the price category below 1000 rubles. A feature of this model is the presence in the kit of 4 interchangeable nozzles, with the help of which the length of the hair is regulated when cutting. Adjustment is also carried out by a five-stage regulator. The length of the cord is 2 meters.
It may seem that this machine is no different from the above, but it is not. This model does not cut hair, but pulls. This is due to the overtightened spring, it is on it that the blades are attached. If the machine works fine without a blade (the motor is spinning), then after installing the nozzles, the work slows down, and the hair begins to be plucked. Unfortunately, this nuance is not a feature of one device, but is noted on all copies of this model.
Polaris "PHC 0714"
Another model that, according to the declared characteristics, does not differ from the previous one. It is even in the same price range (up to 1000 rubles), and it seems that the manufacturer needed to release something new according to the plan, so he took the old model, added a number to the name - and passed it off as a novelty.
However, this is only at first glance. With the same technical characteristics, this model cuts, and does not pull hair. At the same time, vibration does not give off either to the head or to the hand, which allows you to cut your own haircut. Perhaps the manufacturer took into account the feedback on the previous model "0704" and released its improved version.
Another advantage is a good instruction manual, which includes not only a description of the haircut itself (how and where to drive the machine, where to start). There are some details of the work. There is a graphic description of the nozzles - which one is for which zone, what effect to expect from the application.
True, this barrel of honey has its own fly in the ointment - it will take longer to cut strong, thick and coarse hair. You won’t be able to cope with them on your own, your hand will get tired. You will have to ask another person to help with the haircut.
Polaris "PHC 1902 RC"
The Polaris hair clipper of this model is new and does not yet have enough reviews. But in the absence of a significant difference in cost, it is endowed with a convenient battery life function. The price for this model is 1300 rubles. This device works both from the network and from the built-in battery.
It's nice that the manufacturer was not too lazy and made the battery, and not the battery compartment. Thanks to this, the operating time is 60 minutes, and the charge indicator shows how much energy is left for work, or notifies that the machine has already been charged (full charging time is 8 hours).
The blades of the machine are made of stainless steel, and in the kit there are two additional nozzles that adjust the length of the hair (0.50 - 20 mm).
Users note good build quality - a rubberized weighted body that fits securely in the hand and absorbs vibrations from the motor. You can use wet hands. At the same time, all buttons have a corrugated surface, which allows you to use them by touch.
The battery capacity is enough for two haircuts. It is not known whether the device loses a charge that is not used if you have to cut your hair once a month, or even two.
The downside of the novelty is the quality of the nozzles.They are made of cheap plastic and are prone to breaking from careless use. To keep the blades in working condition, they must be sharpened by the master or replaced with new ones.
You can make a beautiful haircut with a typewriter like this:
- Hair before cutting with a machine is moistened and combed in the same way as before cutting with scissors. Dry hair is not cut.
- For haircuts, not only nozzles are used, but also a comb. If you think that the comb that comes with Polaris clippers is for combing hair, then you are wrong. A comb is needed for a haircut, while it is with it that smooth transitions are created, the length of the strands is regulated. When cutting with a comb, the minimum length of the comb is used.
- The edging of the haircut is made without nozzles, the machine turns according to the growth of the hair, and not against it, as during the haircut. If the machine does not have the ability to cut without a nozzle, then you will have to do the edging with a blade.
- Hair is cut only against growth. If you cut according to hair growth, the strands are uneven. Bringing them to a common length will be difficult.
All the above recommendations should be taken into account - in this case, you will be able to achieve excellent results.
