Hair clipper

 

Hair clippers are divided into manual hair clippers and electric hair clippers. Manual hair clippers are also called mechanical hair clippers.

Trimmers

 

Trimmers are similar to scissors because they are also designed with blades and motors. However, the blade on the trimmer is thinner, which makes it more suitable for cutting short hair. Whether you want to shave or trim your beard, the electric hair trimmer is a great choice for a tighter cut. Another advantage of using a hair cutting trimmer is that it will have a hypoallergenic blade, which is helpful if you have sensitive skin.
