If in the recent past no one could have thought that it was possible to trim the ends of the hair without cutting their total length, then with the advent of such a device as a polishing machine, this procedure became not only possible, but also accessible to everyone. The processing itself can be carried out both in the salon and at home. Read about all this and much more in our article.

Before proceeding to familiarize yourself with the main types of machines, their characteristics, and so on, you need to understand what the hair polishing procedure itself is and what are its advantages and disadvantages. It should be noted right away that the cost of this kind of procedure is quite affordable. Hair polishing implies a hairdressing procedure, the implementation of which takes place through the use of a special apparatus.

All strand polishing devices work according to a special technology. So the hair structure is renewed and acquires its former shine, obedience, smoothness. With the help of a machine, on which a special polishing attachment is installed, it is possible to without removing the length of the hair, cut off the exfoliated and split scales from them, and also smooth out the curls, thereby returning them to their former shine and attractive appearance.

This kind of procedure must necessarily be used for owners of long and thick curls in order to maintain their healthy appearance. Unlike cutting with hot scissors, sanding will help ensure a longer lasting effect. This is why buffing is the perfect solution for those with split ends, who want to let go of the length, or just want to freshen up their hairstyle. At the same time, the owners of thin and curly curls also, without fear of any negative consequences, can resort to this kind of procedure.

It is worth noting that the duration of one polishing session will also depend on your length. Do not forget about proper hair care after carrying out this kind of procedure.so that they can maintain their integral structure as long as possible. On average, after one session, the effect will persist for about six months. However, this figure can be inaccurate, as the polish effect can be influenced by many factors, including your hair type.

The principle of operation of grinding machines implies a rather complicated mechanism of operation. Thanks to the structure and special technique of the machines, after a session of polishing curls, you can see a good effect. It is achieved due to the implementation of straight cuts of the split ends. Compared to hot scissors the machine does not imply the treatment of curls using moxibustion. Thus, polishing with a special machine allows minimize the chance of re-cutting the tips as soon as possible after the procedure.

Almost all the load during hair treatment falls on a special attachment, which is preliminarily put on the device. The polishing itself takes place as follows:

1. a strand of a certain width is inserted into the nozzle; in it, thanks to special protrusions, it is divided into several parts;
2. while moving the machine along the strand, the hair seems to be combed and at the same time moved;
3. damaged particles go beyond the nozzle protrusions and are instantly cut off with trimmer knives;
4. healthy hairs remain intact thanks to the secure fixation, which is assured by the special structure of the polishing head construction.

Now let's take a closer look at the list of pros and cons of grinding. The positive aspects, as a rule, include the following:

• the polishing process is completely safe for the hair structure;
• regular grinding allows you to achieve the perfect effect; after one session, the result can last from 3 months to six months;
• during treatment, about 90% of the split hair zone is eliminated;
• using a special machine, it turns out to make accurate and even cuts that are not able to shorten their total length;
• during the operation of the device, due to its special structure, when processing the strands, no difficulties or defects can arise;
• after this procedure, the hair, which was previously combed with difficulty, becomes more obedient and even, since it practically ceases to get tangled;

As for the main disadvantages, they include such factors as:

• the inability to carry out the procedure in the presence of weakened hair or hair loss;

Before starting processing, it must be firmly fixed on the knife block of the machine. It is worth noting that this kind of device is often used at home, since the design of the nozzle itself can be attached to any model of the machine that fits the width of the blade.

The action of the polishing attachment involves bending a single strand, which allows you to select all damaged parts and remove them using the blades of the machine. One of the most popular models among consumers is HG Polishen nozzle... The fact is that this model provides a maximum cut of up to 10 millimeters, its cost is quite low, and the quality is at a decent level.

For those who cannot skillfully handle attachments or machines, the best option would be to purchase a special polishing comb. The device itself is quite comfortable and ergonomic. Provided that this type of equipment is used, you will not need to remove fallen hair particles from the floor after each session. Immediately after cutting, all the tips are placed in the container provided for this. It can be quickly and easily disposed of after finishing the hair polishing process.

The principle of operation of the comb-polisher is identical to that of the machine. One of the main advantages of this type of device is the minimum removal of millimeters of hair.
