Basics of hair clippers

Hair clippers are personal grooming devices used for shaving, trimming, and cutting hair. They consist of sharp blades mounted on long handles made of plastic or steel. Depending on your preference, you can opt for a manual clipper, or be savvier with an electric clipper.

Invented in the 19th century, the manual hair clipper relies on the power of the human hand to trim and cut hair. It consists of only two rows of sharp blades and teeth for cutting hair. Today, manual hair clippers are still heavily used in traditional barbershops. Electric hair clippers, on the other hand, are made with rust-resistant titanium blades that never get boring. Sometimes called a corded hair clipper, it runs on a magneto and cuts and trims hair at high speed. Just as manual hair clippers are a staple in traditional barbershops, electric hair clippers are a key tool in modern professional salons and barbershops.

Buying Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind when buying a hair clipper:
Comb attachments: Look for clippers that let you use multiple types and lengths of comb attachments (sometimes up to 10) so you can create a wider range of styles.
Blade guards: To keep your barber's blades sharp and rust-free, look for blades with blade guards. Also, note that the blade guard must be replaced after each use.
Accessories: If you're looking for a professional haircutting kit for beginners, choose a hair clipper that comes with a styling brush, haircut cape, cleaning brush, scissors, and oil. This covers everything you need to get started.
