How long can a hair trimmer last, and how can you ensure that your hair trimmer lasts as long as possible? To find out, read this article.

How long can a hair trimmer last? The lifespan of a hair trimmer can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as how well you maintain it, its build quality, how it’s stored and how often it’s used, etc. A hair trimmer can last between approximately 5 and 15 years, depending on the above factors.

The two parts that typically wear out first on a hair trimmer are the blade, which can lose its sharpness, or the battery which can lose its capacity.

How can I make my hair trimmer last longer?

  1. Clean after use: After each use, make sure to remove hair and dirt from the trimmer’s blade. Use a small brush to remove hair and dirt. Then, you can wipe the trimmer with a slightly damp cloth to remove any residue. Follow our maintenance instructions for hair trimmers here.
  2. Oil the trimmer’s blades: Regularly drip a little oil onto the blade of the hair trimmer. This helps to keep the blades sharp and extends the lifespan of the trimmer. Most hair trimmers come with a container of oil.
  3. Store the trimmer correctly: When the hair trimmer is not in use, store it in a place where it’s not exposed to too much moisture. A dry location is ideal for corrosion prevention.
  4. Replace blades and parts as needed: Over time, the trimmer’s blades may become dull. Replacing blades and other parts as needed can improve the trimmer’s performance and extend its lifespan.
  5. Charge and discharge the battery correctly: When you first get your trimmer, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the initial charging. Typically, it’s a good practice to fully charge the battery before using the trimmer for the first time.

    What affects the lifespan?

  • Build quality: Trimmers made of high-quality materials, such as stainless steel or durable types of plastic, tend to last longer than cheaper models made of low quality.
  • Usage pattern: If you use the hair trimmer often, it will wear out faster, and the battery’s runtime will deteriorate more quickly.
  • Storage: Storing the trimmer in a dry place can help prevent corrosion.
  • Maintenance: If you properly maintain the hair trimmer by removing hair and oiling it, the blades will last longer.
