The rhythmic whirr of a hair clipper, the smooth glide of a freshly sharpened blade, the satisfaction of a perfect cut – it’s enough to make any home barber or seasoned stylist feel like a maestro. But just like any finely tuned instrument, your trusty hair clippers need regular care to maintain their performance and keep your cuts clean and flawless.
This is where FTK Hairdressing, your one-stop shop for all things hair, comes in with their expert tips and tricks for keeping your hair clippers sharp and singing sweet clipper symphonies.
The Importance of Sharpness:
A dull blade is a frustrated stylist’s enemy. It tugs instead of gliding, leaving rough cuts and potentially damaging your precious strands. Dullness also increases friction, which heats up the blades and can shorten their lifespan.
Maintaining the Edge:
So, how do we keep our blades razor-sharp and ready for action? FTK Hairdressing has you covered:
- Cleaning is Key: After every use, brush away hair clippings with a dedicated clipper brush. Then, remove the blades (if possible) and wipe them down with a damp cloth and clipper cleaning solution. FTK offers excellent cleaning solutions formulated specifically for hair clippers.
- Oiling for Smoothness: Just like your car engine, clipper blades need lubrication to run smoothly and prevent friction. Use clipper oil (again, FTK has your back!) regularly on the moving parts and blades.
- Honing for Precision: Every 2-3 months, depending on usage, consider honing your blades. FTK can expertly sharpen your blades using professional tools, restoring their pristine sharpness.
- Replacement When Needed: Even with proper care, blades eventually wear down and need replacing. FTK stocks a wide range of replacement blades for most popular clipper models.
Bonus Pro Tips:
- Avoid dropping: Accidents happen, but dropping your clippers can damage the blades or internal components. Handle them with care!
- Store them safely: Keep your clippers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid high temperatures and humidity, which can rust the blades.
- Invest in quality: While cost might be tempting, purchasing a higher-quality clipper with durable blades can save you money in the long run by requiring less frequent replacements. FTK’s expert staff can help you choose the right clipper for your needs and budget.
