What is a hair trimmer

Not only scissors and a clipper are involved in hair care. There are other specialized devices, including a special place occupied by trimmers. Can I choose this tool for independent use? Of course, but the future user should have an idea of ​​what a trimmer is and where it can be applied.

Device assignment

A trimmer is a compact device that helps trim eyebrows, mustaches, beards, and also point to remove excess vegetation in the intimate bikini area, nose and ears. The photo below shows a trimmer with different nozzles, allowing both to cut and make curly edging.

Here is a list of what the device is used for:

• shave a beard, mustache;
• perform edging haircuts;
• point to remove vegetation, perform curly intimate haircuts;
• make eyebrow shape correction;
• remove hair in the ears and nose.

Instrument classification

There are several classifications of this type of technology.

By type of engine

At the head put the type of engine and, accordingly, the separation will be as follows:

• rotary hair trimmers (the most powerful units for professionals, with the possibility of long work without overheating);
• vibrating the engine has much less power (a more domestic device that requires a break in operation every half hour);
• pendulum options (not yet very common type, which is a kind of horizontal scissors - when working with it, you need to press the handles all the way).

By type of food

The second classification criterion is the type of food.

1. Rechargeable most expensive option - it is good for minor improvements. The maximum working time is about an hour, and in order to charge the battery, you often need to spend at least ten hours. The degree of charge affects the speed of work - the smaller it is, the slower the device becomes.Usually, people who stock up on frequent travels are stocked with such funds (but it is necessary to get a haircut in order to maintain a presentable appearance).
   

2. Network model can work long enough. Very often among these models there are devices with excellent characteristics. But the lack of noticeable immediately - the user is limited in movement of the length of the cord.
   
3. Combined trimmers combine both of these benefits.
4. There are trimmers working from ordinary batteries. These are compact options that are convenient to take on the road.
   

By scope

Now let's talk about the scope. Manufacturers are trying to please all members of their target audience.

Beard and mustache trimmer should be attributed to a specialized male device. He not only straightens, but even punctures the beard. This can be done with special nozzles that regulate the pitch and length.

If the advertisement declares about models for womenthen the similar device is very often supplied with epilating attachments. It is understood that the work will be carried out with excess vegetation in the areas of bikini, underarms and even for shaving eyebrows.The device should carefully handle the delicate female skin.

There are specific devices designed to remove hair in the ears and nose. They even differ in appearance - small size, comfortable thin shape of the handle, streamlined rotating circular nozzles.

How to choose the right hair trimmer

What factors should be paid when buying such a device? Among the main technical characteristics emit such:

• work speed;
• smooth movements;
• the presence of several modes (soft and more intense);
• noise and vibration levels (high vibration adversely affects accuracy);
• battery life;
• the possibility of easy cleaning of the device (for example, washing under running water);

• the weight of the device (the arm gets tired of the heavy, and the light one starts to vibrate);
• case material (hand of the master should not slide).

With external similarities of many models, it is better to choose those that have titanium spraying (or a mixture of titanium and ceramics) applied to the blades, especially if you plan to shave often. In this case, they will last a long time. A nano-silver coating will increase the antiseptic properties.Blades must be sharp, otherwise the user will experience discomfort, which is especially noticeable for the bikini area.

It is important to draw on yourself nozzles: Linear use for eyebrows, and rotary care for the ears and nose. A number of models have universal bilateral nozzles (from 3 to 12 mm in diameter). All attachments should be easily removable.

Should have an idea about the future use. If the device will be used by 1-2 people, it makes no sense to overpay for extra functions. On the other hand, a low price may become an indicator of belonging to a risk group (blades will dull quickly or the rotation mechanism will fail). The best option would be average price range.

Preference should be given to models with a charging indicator and the ability to adjust the length of the wire.

Of course, the trimmer does not replace the usual hair clipper. However, it justifies its use by the numerous possibilities of caring for all parts of the body. This is especially true of multifunctional devices, the main advantage of which was the presence of interchangeable nozzles. So such a device is quite possible to buy for independent use.
