What does a hair trimmer require in terms of maintenance, and how do you maintain it? We’ll go through that in this article.
When it comes to maintaining your hair trimmer, it’s a good idea to read the accompanying user manual, as there may be differences in how and how often each model needs maintenance. Additionally, you’ll be able to see if the hair trimmer is washable or not.
When you purchase a hair trimmer, it comes with parts meant for maintenance. Typically, you’ll get a small brush and a small oil container.
If your hair trimmer is washable, you can rinse it under the tap to remove hair and dirt. In the accompanying manual, you can see if the hair trimmer is washable, and for some devices, it’s indicated on the back.
It’s important that you store the hair trimmer in a place where it can dry properly after washing, as otherwise, the blades will wear out and eventually rust.
After every use, you should remove the hair that has accumulated in the hair trimmer with the accompanying brush. This ensures that the hair trimmer functions effectively and that hair does not build up.
Some hair trimmers are built with a detachable trimmer head. Here, you should regularly remove the trimmer head and remove the hair lodged inside the machine.
If you don’t have a brush, a toothbrush can be a good alternative.
You should regularly oil the blades of the hair trimmer. You do this by applying a few drops of oil in the middle and outside of the blade and then turning on the device to distribute the oil. Make sure to remove excess oil, either with a dry cloth or with your finger (do not use toilet paper or other material that leaves residue in the hair trimmer).
