Comb with a hair clipper
Every fashionista wants to look her best and attract the enthusiastic glances of others. This effect can be achieved not only with beautiful clothes, shoes and accessories, but also with a spectacular hairstyle. In stores of household appliances and cosmetics, there are a huge number of different devices for creating an attractive styling. Today we are going to talk about functional combs with cutting blades.
Features, pros and cons
Any haircut is impossible without a comb. This tool is extremely simple and incredibly useful. It is in the arsenal of every fashionista. Often, combs are carried with them in handbags and clutches, so that at any time you can correct your hair.
There are a huge number of different models of combs. Each of them is suitable for a specific purpose. For example, specimens with blades are available in the toolbox of every hairdresser. They are very easy to use.
Do not think that such things are impressive in size, since they perform several functions. In fact, they are no different from classic combs and massage brushes, which makes them mobile and practical.
There are several modifications of these items. Each young lady will be able to choose the most convenient and useful option for herself. This can be a regular blade comb or a multifunctional trimmer.
The disadvantage of combs with blades is that you cannot start working with them if you have never done haircuts with them. Many young ladies rushed to acquire such a thing and immediately "rushed into battle", not having figured out in advance how to use it.
This can lead to the fact that you take off excess length, and a similar result for every girl is comparable to a disaster.
Models
Modern manufacturers offer ladies several types of combs for haircuts. Let's consider them in more detail.
Scallop with blade
The simplest and most affordable are the blade combs. Outwardly, they are no different from ordinary flat combs with a large number of medium teeth, but they are also equipped with blades.
These models with different teeth are available from many hairdressers.
Many young ladies purchase such devices for trimming split ends or bangs. They are very comfortable and compact, so nothing will obstruct the view during the cutting process.
Electric hair clipper
Today, the most popular and in demand are electrical tools. A hair clipper like this will save you a lot of time, which is usually spent on a haircut.
Modern models are produced not only for creating neat female, but also male hairstyles. Also relevant are such copies that are designed for a beard cut and sideburns.
These machines often come with telescopic attachments with a length lock. Such details are necessary to change the cutting height.
Models are available that operate on mains, batteries or rechargeable batteries. Most often they are designed for a long time of uninterrupted operation. It is 40-50 minutes. If you do not meet this gap, then the clipper will start to heat up. It is recommended to turn it off for a while and wait until it cools down completely.
These tools are easy to maintain. They can be easily cleaned of hair and rinsed, since the attachments and knives in them are removable.
Electric clippers from brands such as Panasonic, Rowenta, Braun and Philips are in high demand today. All of them are equipped with comfortable and ergonomic handles that greatly facilitate the cutting process.
Thinning scissors
Each hairdresser has special thinning scissors in his arsenal. Such tools have a metal main blade and a comb with teeth of different widths and grooves, with the help of which excess hair is cut. Some examples do not have a base blade, and both ends of the scissors are serrated.
Such things can "defuse" the hair and make it less dense in a certain area. But after such processing, it is necessary to trim the ends, as they will be uneven.
Care should be taken with these models when cutting the bangs, as irregularities will be especially visible on it.
Thinning razors are not only scissors, but also special razors. They have a small blade set between two serrated plates. Typically, these tools come with several attachments for different cutting techniques.
Trimmer combs
Small combs-trimmers are in demand today. With their help, you can trim hair for both adults and children. Many models come with mustache and beard attachments.
They run on ordinary batteries and do not have any wires.
How to use?
Be very careful when using comb with blades. If you do not have such experience, then it is better to prepare in advance for a haircut and study in detail all the stages of the upcoming process.
This will save you from losing length and ugly ensembles on your head.
For example, consider several stages of a haircut using a thinning razor:
- It is recommended to pre-wash your hair thoroughly so that it becomes soft and silky.
- Do not dry your hair with a hair dryer or towel. The raw strands must be divided into a transverse and straight line.
- The remaining curls on the back of the head must be divided into four more lines.
- The top strands can be secured with small clips or bobby pins so they don't fall off or get in the way of the trimming process.
- The lower strands need to be divided into 3 identical squares, after which you can start creating a hairstyle, starting from the right side.
- The hair is divided into equal squares in the region of the neck protrusion.
- After finishing cutting the lower curls, it is necessary to remove the clamps, distribute the hair again into equal squares and profile.
- After the end of the haircut at the back of the head, the hair must again be divided into squares of different sizes and passed through with thinning scissors.

Selection Tips
The right tool will allow you to create a neat and beautiful hairstyle:
- If you are choosing an electric clipper, then it is recommended to choose models from well-known brands. They are equipped with handles that are comfortable to hold, as well as removable attachments with adjustable length. Do not take too cheap copies from unknown companies, as they can quickly fail or overheat.
- If you have purchased a similar tool, then you should first practice using it and carefully study the instructions. An improperly set up clipper can cut a lot of excess hair.
- For simple and quick thinning, use special scissors with teeth or combs with blades. But be careful with them so as not to ruin your hairstyle. If you are in doubt about your skills, it is best to contact an experienced hairdresser.
- Be sure to inspect your comb or scissors before purchasing. The teeth should not be too sharp and crooked, as this can lead to significant damage to the hair and discomfort during the cutting process.
- The blades must not be blunt, or the tool will break strands rather than trim. Also, such an omission can lead to serious damage to the hair structure and its unhealthy appearance.
