Choosing a trimmer for eyebrows, ears and nose

Hair trimmers provide a small but varied assortment. A simple device is a small body, inside which there is a mechanism, on top of it a special ergonomic depilation head is installed - surface hair removal on the body. In this article we will consider the nuances of choosing a tool for removing hair in the nose and ears (male models) and for adjusting eyebrows (female).

What is the difference between male and female trimmers

For the convenience of users, all trimmers are divided into groups according to purpose, in particular, they allocate sets for women and for men.

The difference between the devices lies in the specialization: despite the same principle of operation, the purpose of use is still different.At the same time, the design itself hides a similar mechanism under the body, the type of trim head, the width of the working area and, of course, the types of nozzles become significant differences.

Cars for men designed for cutting beard, mustache, nose and ear hair removal. Unlike female models, such devices have wide settings for the length of a haircut - from 1 to 20 mm. A high level of ergonomics is expressed in a larger body size.

Female models sometimes called groomers, they are more compact and are used for spot hair removal, the formation of the eyebrow line or depilation of sensitive areas. Such cosmetology procedures, for the most part, imply maximum removal of the outer part of the hair or trimming to a small length of up to 12 mm. Structurally, in female devices there are less length adjustments, and the width of the working area is slightly smaller.

Technical aspects of choice

When purchasing specialized equipment, the characteristics of the device affect the usability and quality of the result:

• type of food;
• blade and body materials;
• types of nozzles.

These are the main factors of choosing a trimmer, among other things, the level of ergonomics, color, type of packaging.

Power type

Overwhelming majority trimmers for women powered by a built-in battery or conventional batteries. This is due to the fact that the processing of certain zones requires autonomy. Men's versions often powered from the mains or have a combined battery / mains power type.

Battery compartment

Network models are practical, stable in operation. The disadvantage of the design was the dependence on the network and the presence of a power cable.

Cordless trimmers give you the desired freedom of use, but charging the built-in battery takes a lot of time.. In this case, one cycle is enough for a maximum of two hours, after which the power drops and recharging is required. Such designs, judging by the reviews, are not very convenient. Battery operation is not always profitable - they quickly break down. But they can be used at any time, and nickel-cadmium AAA batteries are charged no longer than 2-3 hours.

Blade and body material

Trimmer bodyAs a rule, it is made of durable plastic and “tolerates” light mechanical shocks.The advantage of plastic is low weight, the device made of metal will be much heavier, and of aluminum it will be much more expensive. In living conditions, primary plastics are more than enough.

Blades appliances The average price category is often made of stainless steel. In expensive models, ceramics or the same stainless steel with different types of sputtering can be used, titanium coating is considered to be the best, diamond is less popular.

Cheap counterparts of unknown brands are not always produced by technology, the metal they use is very different, but inexpensive and short-lived.

Well, if the clippers have replaceable blade. Its service life may be only 3-4 months, after which you will need to buy a new one. At the same time, the quality of the blade does not affect the life of the trimmer, such as for models with monolithic nozzles - when the blade becomes dull, the whole nozzle becomes unusable.

Types of nozzles

Included with each model is at least one nozzle for a haircut with different length adjustments. The type of configuration determines the trimmer's specialization - shaving, epilation, trimming, cutting, point hair removal in the nose, on the face.

The functionality of most household models is predetermined, because buying replacement nozzles is sometimes problematic - they simply do not produce. This does not always apply to professional trimmers, but this class of equipment usually has a highly specialized purpose, as opposed to universal “home” ones.

The set of nozzles depends on the type of the device itself, but most often their scope is the same.

1. Vertical designed to remove hair in the ears and inside the nose.
2. Razor shaves hairs at the root. There are narrow types for beard styling or eyebrow correction and wide for shaving open areas - bikini or beard zones.
3. Nozzles-combs used for trimming hair of different lengths. Wide open areas are treated, narrow, it is easy to remove hair in hard-to-reach places or to form a hairline, temporal region.

In female models there are such tips as an epilator or pumice. Their field of application is understandable - removing hair from the root, removing hardened skin on the foot.

How to care for a trimmer

Proper maintenance of the device significantly extends its service life.The “weak” place of the design is the motor, charging connectors and sharpness of the blades. The latter is considered the most important, because manufacturers always prescribe in the passport rules for the care of the device.

After each use, the nozzles and trimmer head should be thoroughly washed and cleaned of small hairs. It is recommended to lubricate the blades with oil, about which the manufacturer also writes in the instruction manual.

Before use, you must read the user manual and determine moisture protection mechanism. The ingress of water into the case is fraught with the rapid failure of the motor.
