Trimmer
In the modern market of hairdressing tools you can find a huge number of different products. You can buy them in online stores or in specialized outlets that distribute salon and home devices. Of particular demand are hair clippers, which are becoming more and more common every year.
The popularity of various devices for haircuts is due to the fact that fashion requires a perfectly smooth skin surface. Women and men are looking for a modern and effective means to get rid of unwanted vegetation, so many opt for trimmer. After all, the device has several advantages over other similar tools.
What it is?
Hair trimmer is a necessary and useful device in any home. This hair clipper is a versatile device with which you can easily create a stylish hairstyle, trim a mustache and even remove excess hair from any part of the body.
The main difference between a trimmer and a hair clipper is its size. The trimmer is much smaller and lighter in weight and does not require an electrical connection. It works either on batteries or on a battery that needs to be charged periodically. It is so compact that it can fit in any drawer. And his work creates a minimum of noise.
There are also differences in functional terms. The trimmer differs from the typewriter in that it is not intended for cutting hair on the head and creating hairstyles. Its intended purpose is to correct facial hair and trim haircuts. Thanks to the narrowed head, this device is easy to remove hair in hard-to-reach places or to make an edging.
The trimmer has very sharp knives that are necessary for profile work. In addition, it is almost impossible for them to get hurt. The knives move in a moderate distance from the skin, which makes it possible to shave off hairs even on sensitive skin areas.
Varieties
The trimmer is a universal machine for hair removal on different parts of the body. That is why it has several varieties, each of which is intended to perform certain tasks.
Types of devices vary in type of work, quantity and quality of nozzles, power and power.
Speaking about the type of work, we can distinguish the following types:
- Rotary - These are devices with high power and the presence of several functional capabilities. The operation of the engine is carried out by reciprocating movements, which guarantee uninterrupted operation of the device. This universal machine does not overheat and can be used for different purposes. For example, edging nozzle will help make the perfect shape of hair.
- Vibrating - These are devices operating on an electromagnetic field. The motor operates in reciprocating action, and the blades function due to electromagnetic impulses. The power of devices is small, so they can not work for a long time without stopping. But for home use is the best option.
- Pendulum - uncommon devices with horizontal scissors. They can cut not only human hair, but also animal hair.
Based on the type of power, you can select the battery, network and combined trimmers. It is clear that network devices work directly from the mains, which is not always convenient. Therefore, the most convenient rechargeable devices that, if desired, can be put on charge. They are the best option for people who are often traveling.
Combined devices have both rechargeable and network functions. Such a mixed type allows the device to operate smoothly for a long time.
Very much in the work of trimmers depends on the blades. They can be ceramic, steel, with diamond or titanium coating. The best result can be achieved with ceramic or titanium knives, but they are also much higher than other devices. Blades can be set to any length range for which the device is designed. Adjustment is necessary to correct the shape of the eyebrows, beard and mustache.
Purpose
The purpose of the apparatus is divided into female and male, devices for the ears and nose, trimmers for the bikini and axilla, devices for mustache and beard.
- Male - a multifunction device designed to shave and remove hair from hard to reach places. It should not only remove hairs, but also thin out and correct them. The male trimmer has several nozzles that are adjustable at a comfortable angle.
- Female - the device, which can be a separate device or a nozzle for the epilator. It is needed for high-quality removal of excess hair from intimate places and modeling eyebrows. In the female trimmer is usually a special nozzle - comb, which helps to regulate the length of the cut hairs.
- For ears and nose - the compact device having one nozzle. With it you can easily and quickly remove hair in the nose and ear zones, which not only look unaesthetic, but also interfere with the person.
- For bikini and underarms - A small device that helps remove unwanted vegetation on particularly sensitive areas of the body. It removes hairs, being very close to the surface of the skin, but it does not injure the integument. They can make an intimate haircut without worrying that irritation or ingrown hairs will appear.
- For mustache and beard - a reliable and efficient device that allows you to cut or adjust the shape of a mustache or beard. A special system is designed to regulate the length of the grip, and titanium blades ensure long and trouble-free operation.
It is important to understand that, in addition to the intended purpose, trimmers are also divided by the form of moisture resistance. The cheapest devices can not resist moisture, therefore, are designed for dry shaving. Devices that have a moisture-resistant case, easily cope with their tasks, even in the shower. Such devices always have a razor attachment in the kit.
Features and benefits
Trimmers are a group of products that are designed for effective removal and cutting hair. They are divided into subspecies, each of which must perform certain functions. All of them have their own characteristics and advantages, which make them popular among buyers.
The main purpose of the devices is the qualitative and quick elimination of hairs from the desired areas of the body. Compared to other tools, they have a number of advantages that allow us to consider them to be the best of their kind:
- Painless hair removal and cutting. Razors and epilators deliver painful sensations even on insensitive parts of the body. Trimmers cut the hair without discomfort.
- High-quality cutting hair. The device is so close to the skin that allows you to cut hair as short as possible, so that they will not be visible.
- Safe work. A professional machine will not cause any damage to the surface of the skin and will not result in hair ingrowth.
- No annoyance. Shaving or plucking often results in skin irritation and redness. Many people suffer from itching, which is difficult to remove. The trimmer does not cause such problems.
- Compact device size. The device can easily fit in a handbag, while a hair clipper does not always have suitable dimensions.
- Availability of several nozzles. Nozzles for trimmers have different sizes, so they can remove hairs anywhere.
- Multifunctional. The devices have many functions: haircut, correction, modeling and hair removal. However, all these functions have only a universal machine. The remaining devices have specific tasks.
Despite this number of positive qualities, the devices still have disadvantages. They do not shave off hair, but simply cut it short. Therefore, the procedure will have to be carried out more often than, for example, after epilation. But this drawback is not noticeable against the background of the merits of the device.
The device has additional features that make it special. For example, some devices work quite well from a cigarette lighter in a car. This is a useful quality that allows the driver to correct facial hair while it is in a traffic jam.
Some models have a backlight that helps to see all the hairs and not miss any of them.
Interesting model with a vacuum system. It is needed in order to collect the hairs in a separate container.
Almost all models come complete with interchangeable blades, which, if desired, can be adjusted.
The function of the charge level indicator is very important in the apparatus. It allows you to understand that it's time to charge the trimmer.

How to choose?

- Female apparatus is mainly intended for cutting and hair removal in intimate places. Therefore, it should be as safe as possible so as not to damage the delicate skin.
- When choosing a device, it is important to consider the type of power. The network type is the most unreliable, since the device will constantly have to be charged. It is best to take a battery tool, which lasts for several hours of continuous work.

- Quality goods have a certificate of quality and warranty card. If for some reason the buyer is refused to provide the relevant documents, then you should not buy a trimmer in such a place.
