Hair clippers - a compendium of knowledge

In practice, this usually means the selection option of the hair lenght, we want to achieved by cutting and possibilities to control it. Special functions, such as the elimination of hair in the nose or ears are also important.

Three common types of hair clippers are one for shortening the hair on the head, beard and mustache clippers and those to nose and ears. From professional clippers we can also expect the obtained length will be equal, regardless of how we set the clipper on stylized surface.

Every clipper's key element is his cutting edge. Most popular devices have stainless steel blades that are sharp, durable and versatile. Additional coverage of the carbon coating increases their precision and durability. Models with self-sharpening blades are frequent choice. 

In practice, a very important element is the blade length and clipping scope, which allows us not only to cut hair but also to shape a hairstyle. Regulation possibility and high-quality make it possible to create a hairstyle seamlessly. Usually adjustment takes place through the fence on a special plastic cap or through the telescopic knob.

A power supply is a key. Cordless devices are comfortable but heavier, especially if they can work for long time without charge. Typical equipment will be operated for about 60 minutes. Their full charge takes the same amount of time. Network ones are lighter, but we have to cope with cable. Hybrid devices combine the advantages of both kinds of clippers, and if the battery is low we can use cable connection. Modern models often have liquid crystal displays informing us of parameters, including battery status.
