Scissors
When it comes to cutting your hair, scissors are a popular choice. They are easy to use and provide precise cuts.
Clippers
Consider investing in clippers if you plan on regularly cutting your hair. Clippers with multi-blade cutting capability effectively achieve various styles and cut at different lengths. They provide a cleaner result than scissors. Before using clippers, clean the blades and remove any loose hair.
Choosing Clippers
Invest in high-quality clippers made of durable stainless steel. Higher-end models are more expensive but offer better performance. Using clipper oil can help keep the blades working optimally.
Using Clippers
Cut your hair in a well-lit area and use a hand mirror for more precise results. Start by trimming the sides and back of your head with a lower guard setting for a tapered haircut. Then, switch to a higher guard setting to cut the crown and blend shorter and longer hair.
Trimmers
Trimmers are ideal for edging, outlining, dry shaving, and shaping small areas like the neckline, ears, or sideburns. They require careful handling as the blades are close to the skin. Detachable blade trimmers offer precision cuts with complete control but can be challenging for newcomers. They are not suitable for cutting long hair. There are other affordable trimmer options available, such as standard trimmers, that work well for beginners.
Ceramic Tools
Ceramic tools are hard and resistant to high temperatures, making them suitable for cutting tough alloys or heat-resistant materials. They have long been used for cutting various materials and are becoming more widely utilized in applications requiring long run times. Ceramic cutting tools offer metal machining advantages, tough metals like nickel-based superalloys. They can operate at high speeds and resist high temperatures, effectively machining without damaging the workpiece.
