How to Maintain a Hair Clipper?

When was the last time you cleaned your electric hair clipper? If you find it's not working as well as it used to, it needs a thorough cleaning and maintenance. Whether you are a hairstylist, cosmetologist, or just a personal user of a hair shaver, your device needs to be in top condition to get an accurate haircut. Skin particles and grease buildup can seriously affect the cutting ability of a professional haircutter. They can damage the blades of a quality hair clipper or restrict their movement and put additional stress on the motor in the process, possibly causing the motor to shake more quickly than it otherwise would. If the scissors are not regularly maintained and oiled, they can become dry and thus more susceptible to wear and tear. However, by following these simple cleaning steps, your haircutting shaver will be kept in a good condition.

To maintain your hair cutting shears properly, several tools are needed. Professional barbers are always concerning about the condition of their barber tools. So you should also learn the right way to maintain your hair cutting machine to keep your haircutter able to be used for a longer period. We recommend a simple method of haircutter maintenance for you. You can find an old toothbrush and toothpaste at home. After cutting hair use the old toothbrush to gently wipe the blades of the hair clipper, the soft toothbrush bristles will effectively remove any residual dirt from the hair clipper.

In addition to daily cleaning, we also recommend that you prepare professional hair clipper blade oil for lubrication. If the scissors are not regularly maintained and oiled, the teeth will become blunt and the blades will easily catch hair or cut the skin. You must keep your hair clippers clean before oiling them. This means that you need to spray the cleaner on the outer blade cover of the scissors with detergent and scrub all exposed surfaces with a scissor brush. Wipe away excess water with a towel to ensure that the surface and interior of the hair clipper are clean. Then apply a professional hair clipper lubricant to the top and sides of the blades. Wait for some time and then wipe the oil dry. Be careful to keep the oil from penetrating the blades.

If you find yourself with a hair clipper blade that has become so dull that it takes a long time to cut your hair, it is essential to use a conditioning oil immediately. If you don't have a professional hair clipper care oil on hand, then we offer a simple alternative - mineral oil. If you do, you can use it. Another option is olive oil. While these two oils are not the best choice for maintaining your hair clippers. However, if you are in a pinch, it is a good lubricant that people usually have.
