- a strand of a certain width is inserted into the nozzle; in it, thanks to special protrusions, it is divided into several parts;

- damaged particles go beyond the nozzle protrusions and are instantly cut off with trimmer knives;
- healthy hairs remain intact thanks to the secure fixation, which is assured by the special structure of the polishing head construction.
