Classification of hair clippers

It is not necessary to go to the hairdresser to become the owner of a fashionable male hairstyle. Sometimes it’s enough to purchase a hair clipper. However, a more detailed analysis of the issue will lead to a dead end with a large number of products. First of all, it should be understood that the main criteria for selection will be the power of the device and its cost. With all the other important options that classify the types of hair clippers, we will examine in more detail below.

engine's type

Like any appliance, this device is driven by a motor. This important element can be presented in two versions:

• vibrating;
• rotary.

Which model is better - rotor or vibration? It all depends on whether a similar device is purchased for home or professional purposes.

Vibration option

The engine of vibration models starts due to electromagnetic coil.
The blades immediately begin to rotate, but previously the user will hear a characteristic starting click. The power of such a device is only 9-15 watts.

The advantages of the device are obvious:

However, there are much more minuses:

Vibration type hair cutting machine

Rotary models

Here the device brings the motor to work. Thanks to this rotary hair clippers have received more power (in the range of 20-45 watts) and can withstand heavy loads.

Many models even have built-in cooling systems.

There are other bonuses:

But not without flaws:

Power type

All hair clippers according to the nutrition they receive are divided into:

• rechargeable;
• completely dependent on the electrical network;
• partially dependent.

The latest hair clippers are combined option, working both from the accumulator, and from the socket.

You should know that most often the battery devices perform the edging function. And here the quality of work is influenced precisely by the battery - if it is discharged, the device will not go with the speed necessary for its normal functioning (the upper knives begin to rotate more slowly).That is why the package of many such devices include an extra battery.

It is very convenient when the battery fill indicator is present in the vehicle.

When working with such models, it should be noted that the batteries have “memory property". This means that at the very beginning of operation the device must be completely discharged and also fully charge the battery. Similarly, one should “do” at least once a month - this will keep the power at a sufficient level.

About other advantages of the devices on the battery:

And here are the drawbacks that the battery model will have:

Many users prefer to work with combined models. But those who decide to choose only the battery option, do not worry - even the most complex haircut can be done in about 20 minutes.

Purpose of the device

It is very important to understand the purpose for which the device will be purchased. In this regard, this technique is divided into:

• universal;
• highly specialized.

Versatile and multifunctional

Already from the name, you can understand that the universal machine will get to cut everything. Her attachments allow you to cope with thick hair, remove hair from the areas of the ears and nose. There is also a special trimmer that will allow you to work on a beard fashionable for today.

In some models, there is even a comb for cutting a mustache, and a special shaving head will allow you to make your hair “to zero”.

In addition to the above-mentioned actual attachments, the unit for the device must include nozzles for knives (from 2 to 14 mm), as well as scissors and a comb. Even in the domestic environment, this multifunctional set justifies the biggest expectations in its purchase.

Here are the following advantages:

The biggest drawback is the price of such a device. And the more popular the manufacturer, the higher the cost.

Such devices are great for getting rid of split ends. They are ideal for processing split ends in women's hairstyles.

Another application is for patterns on the head. For such a haircut is best to choose a professional universal model (for example, we can recommend the brand Moser technique). However, sometimes it is enough for the user to purchase a device with a certain functionality for independent use. Such narrowly focused devices are also very popular in hairdressing salons. Consider below the main ones.

Beard trimming

Such devices differ from universal versions of their compactness and narrow blades. And the teeth themselves are much less common than in universal models.

Here are the pros:

Not without drawbacks - they relate to limited modes of operation.

Mustache trimmer

Such machines are convenient to shorten short hair on the body (the same applies to the face).In fact, this technique resembles a small cone-shaped device, which has a vertical cutting head.

Often, a similar trimmer can also cut the hair in the nose and ears.

Now about the benefits:

There are disadvantages. Chief among them:

Getting rid of the vegetation on the ears

Most men have problems cutting their hard-to-reach places like ears and nose. To do this, they also use trimmers, but with a special nozzle, which can not be changed or removed. The device looks like this: a small head is located at the top of the cone-shaped form. Everything is thought out in such a way that the hair is removed very quickly.

The main advantages are as follows:

And the main disadvantage is that in this way it will not be possible to cut the hair anywhere but the nose and ears.

Based on these classifications, the manufacturer can choose the option that meets his needs.

For example, the Moser brand is more suitable for purchasing in salons, but the manufacturers Philips and Vitek are more focused on home use.

Having decided on the choice of the type of device, it is worth holding it in your hand. With a heavy weight, the arm will tire, and a light model is very difficult to hold in one position. In this case, it is relevant and switch button location - it should be convenient to use.
