Features and benefits
Braun is a German brand with a wide range of electrical appliances for body and hair care, among which products epilators are particularly notable - classical instruments with tweezers for the principle of hair removal (the brand also has a photoepilator). The essence of any epilation is to artificially remove the hair from the root and destroy its follicle - this is what guarantees the smoothness of the skin for 2-4 weeks. After the follicle is restored, the growth of new, less hard hair begins. Because of the damage to the follicle, the texture of the fresh hair changes.
Braun started its work almost 100 years ago. In 1921, Max Brown opened a small engineering store in Kronberg (Germany), which later became a global concern.

How to choose?
The choice of the epilator is usually based on the characteristics of the model and the feedback that consumers leave on the web.
Before buying a device, you need to determine the budget and those useful functions that are necessary for the home procedure. For some women it is important that the epilator can be used in water, for others it is necessary to have a backlight, for the third - removable attachments for sensitive areas of the body (including a trimmer or a razor).
All Braun tweezers have 20 (Silk-épil 1 and Silk-épil 3 series) or 40 tweezers (all others). The more tweezers in the model, the less time it takes the process of hair removal, but the pain from it will be stronger, because at one time more hairs will be removed. Experts recommend choosing 40-pincer models, because the process of hair removal in any case will be painful, and you will definitely save time on it.
The model with 20 tweezers is inexpensive, but you will spend more time on epilation.
The backlight allows you not to "lose" hair and completely remove them from the skin, it makes the epilation process high-quality and worth the money. Almost all models of the Braun epilator have a backlight, it is not only in the series "Silk-épil 1" and "Silk-épil 3".
The first epilator was created in order to get rid of the faces on the legs, then began to be used for the rest of the body and only today - for the face. The brand's product developers went further and created Silk-épil 9 SkinSpa and Silk-épil Beauty Editions - the latest epilators with a razor head, trimmer and a set of various brushes to cleanse the skin and massage it. The models differ in the presence or absence of additional details, for example, in the model 9579 there are 7 accessories, in 9549 - only 4.
You need to choose the epilator, based on the parameters of the epilation, the type of working head and pain relief.
- By type of hair removal models are for dry and wet hair removal. The Wet & Dry technology allows using the device in a bath or shower - it is 100% waterproof and works without recharging for 100 minutes (epilators of the Silk-épil series 9, 7 and 5).
- By type of working head are floating and normal. The usual head for epilators series "Silk-épil" 1 and 3, floating - for all others. It is better to choose a epilator with a floating head - it follows the contours of the body and removes hairs more effectively, captures them, and not tears.
- By the method of anesthesia They are divided into massage ones (with a vibrating or “shock” head), with an air cooling system or with the help of additional accessories - a cooling glove or napkins.
- By type of food - wired (mains) or wireless. “Wet & Dry” models with the shaving function in the shower can be used both from the mains and separately from it (the device’s operating time without recharging is 1 hour and 40 minutes).
A modern high-quality epilator has 40 tweezers - this significantly speeds up the process of treating the skin (especially on the legs) and makes hair removal better. Choose models with lighting and the presence of those nozzles that you really will use (for example, a restraint nozzle for shaving a bikini area or an anesthetic massage nozzle).
You can not imagine your life without face care with brushes - choose sets with massage cleansing nozzles and brushes for peeling.
Instruction
How to use?
You must connect the epilator to the network or pre-charge it (if the model is wireless). Prepare skin: for dry epilation, steam up and dry completely, for wet hair - just take the device with you to the shower and use shaving gel.

After dry epilation, brush the head with a brush, spin the drum with tweezers by yourself to completely remove hairs and skin cells.
How to fix?
If the epilator is broken, the best way to solve the problem is to repair it in the service center. You can try to clean the machine yourself and disassemble it: first remove the head (using the buttons on the side - they easily “give” it), then unscrew the screws with a small screwdriver and remove the plastic parts, clean the device with a brush and reassemble.
