No matter how the demands on the female image change under the influence of seasonal trends, the healthy appearance of the hair remains “in trend” always. Smooth, brilliant canvas, devoid of broken ends, broken off sections and other problems - that’s what girls strive for. The hair polishing machine that appeared on the market of cosmetic products promises to help with this.
What is hair polishing
Some time ago, the salons and private masters began to offer clients the service of cutting hot scissors, which was supposed to help get rid of the cut ends, creating the effect of hair laminating. This was especially true in the presence of layered hair, where you can not just cut a few centimeters straight line. The hair polishing machine that appeared later has a similar purpose, but is recognized as an improved version of “hot haircut”.
Key benefits of machine grinding:
- Remove a few millimeters from the tips that began to split - less than 10 mm.
- Accelerated process - 20-30 minutes against several hours for scissors.
- The result remains for a long time, if you properly care for your hair after the procedure.
- With such a polishing no negative effects on hair.
Hair polishing in the salon
If you remember all the methods of grinding that can offer the client in a barbershop, then this will be not only a procedure using a machine, but also the use of hot scissors, or a regular haircut, but using a harness technology. The last 2 methods are used less and more rarely, after the machine polished hair has become popular in the beauty salon. With a very thick and damaged source, it can take 40 minutes, but this is incomparable with manual work, which requires 1.5-2 hours. The effect on the hair will depend entirely on the hairdresser.
Hair polishing at home
There is no obvious difference between the procedure that the master conducts in the salon, and the one that the woman tries to do on her own; The device for commercial and personal use is the same, the algorithm of actions, too. The only reason why polishing hair at home can not completely replace the salon - a number of inconveniences in the implementation of the procedure on yourself. The position of the hands, the angle of inclination of the machine / scissors, the field of view - it is not easy to adjust to them on the first attempt. On short hair does not succeed at all.
How to polish hair
Before the procedure, the girl needs to wash her hair without using masks and other means, but you can apply a little conditioner if the hair is tangled actively. Professionals recommend specifically for such cases to purchase deep cleaning shampoo, which deprives sebum more effectively than others, so not a single damaged hair will stick to the others and will not go unnoticed.
The main stages of hair polishing machine look like this:
- From the entire dried (!) Mass, the lower strand is selected from the occipital zone, while the rest is hardened at the top so as not to interfere.
- It is pulled by an iron (if the procedure is homemade) or with a special comb (in the cabin) and is placed in a special compartment of the grinder, where it should lie flat.
- The master selects the site from which to begin work (ends, middle of length, roots, etc.), starting from the state of the material in front of him. Only areas that need to be polished are affected.
- The selected strands are traversed up to 5 times (minimum - 3), in order to remove all the split ends without losing anything. The movement is traditionally done from the top down, so as not to damage the scales.
- The processed strand is released, the next one is put in the machine. Steps 3-5 are repeated for the entire head.
- If necessary, the master conducts length trimming in order to update the client's haircut, and will definitely apply special care on the tips, “sealing” the result.
What you need to polish hair
Most women have tools for straightening (a hair dryer with a brush or a flat iron), since they are universal and suitable for a whole list of styling, so you can not remind about them. Where it is more important to buy a special device, without which polishing the hair will not be possible to perform - this is a machine with a special nozzle that keeps the treated strand in the correct position. Some hairdressers argue that for the procedure you need to purchase a good expensive machine, but most are inclined to believe that you can do with a standard razor, supplemented with a special nozzle.
Hair polisher
The name “HG Polishen” is known to every woman who studied the possibilities of carrying out home polishing of the tips that began to split. However, there are other nozzles for polishing hair: they all have approximately the same appearance, made mostly of plastic. Their only obvious difference is the width, which is selected according to the parameters of the machine that you plan to wear for work, and the material:
- The nozzle from the alloyed steel holds a lock better, but can injure hair.
- Simple steel requires frequent sharpening.
- Quality plastic is lightweight, inexpensive, harmless, but short-lived.
Split-tip hair clipper
The device, which produces the main action, does not have to be expensive: even some famous masters use a simple machine for men's haircuts. The only thing that is important is that the device for removing split ends of hair should match the width of the knife block with the nozzle. According to the reviews of girls, it is equally convenient to use inexpensive equipment from a household store, and oriented to professionals. The latter will differ only in the quality of steel, the possibility of changing blades and more advanced functionality, which almost does not play a role when polishing.
How does a hair polisher work?
The advantage of grinding with a special device over scissors is an even cut and the absence of cauterization with a hot surface, which reduces the likelihood of a new cut of the ends; no drying occurs even at the minimum temperature. When carrying out this procedure, the main load falls on the nozzle, where the strand is driven and after it is deformed in a special way.
The principle of the machine when polishing:
- The strand is bent and divided into several sections, simultaneously combing during movement, as a result of which the damaged tips become visible to the naked eye.
- A polishing machine for hair is cut from above, cutting off all that is knocked out by a serrated blade. Due to reliable fixation, it cannot move to a healthy area, so the length is not affected.
- For reliability, the strand is inserted several times into the nozzle to polish it as cleanly as possible.
Hair polishing - the pros and cons
Visually, this procedure is a complete benefit for female beauty. Half an hour of wasted time, and the perfect hairstyle, as if from an advertisement, is ready. If we consider the pros and cons of polishing hair, then the latter are almost absent - it does not harm. The only significant drawback, on which barbers accentuate attention, is the inadmissibility of its conduct with active hair loss and weakening (including thinning), and the lack of meaning for women with curly hair.
The factors that play in favor of polishing with a machine are much more if the procedure is carried out correctly:
- There is no need to check the condition of the tips for about six months (for some women it is only 3 months).
- The removal efficiency of the cut areas is over 90%.
- Elimination of problems with confusion and difficulty when combing hair.
- Perfectly smooth cut for ungraded haircuts.
Leading hairdressers unanimously argue that most girls need polishing machines. Especially those who have hair:
- often painted
- exposed to thermal instruments
- genetically prone to breakage
- suffered a perm,
- suffer from dryness due to external or internal factors.
How to choose a hair machine
If we are talking about a nozzle, then it is chosen mainly for the width and material of manufacture, but to find a high-quality apparatus for polishing hair is more difficult. It makes sense to pay attention not so much to the price as to:
- power type (mains / battery),
- power,
- manufacturing material
- modes,
- ergonomics.
Hair polisher
When choosing this tool, familiarize yourself with the quality of the material, which greatly influences the cost. Be sure to consider the width of your machine, read the list of supporting devices (self-respecting manufacturer lists them in the instructions). You can look at the following options:
- Smooth Hair Polishen. Material for the manufacture of nozzles - plastic, focused on the width of the knife block 4.5-4.6 cm. Additionally, knives are attached to the typewriter. The disadvantage is that it gets to Moscow only through intermediaries, since coming from Ukraine. Price - from 1500 p.
- HG polishen 2 is characterized by an increase in the number of pressure plates, which more reliably fixes the strand, and smaller internal ridges divide it better. It is not necessary to hold the hair during polishing. Designed for a knife block 4.5-4.7 cm wide. Price - 1700-2000 p.
- Split & Razor is a plastic nozzle on a 45 mm wide machine, the technical characteristics are similar to the others. Cost - 1400 p.
Hairbrush polisher
If you use the complex design of the machine (razor) and the nozzle at home is inconvenient, you can consider the option of a polishing comb, which is ready to do everything for you. It has a compact size, conveniently lies in the hand, and the cut sliced areas remain in the inner chamber, which is cleaned after the procedure. The device works as a standard trimmer, and with it there is no need to do hair straightening before grinding.
- Spave Ender Pro from Talavera, which cost - $ 250 (at the current rate - about 15,000 p.). American hair polishing machine in the form of a comb. The disadvantage - you can only order in the online store. Received positive feedback from leading foreign hairdressers.
- Comb polisher Split Ender (1400-2000 p.). Removes 6-13 mm of length, the power source - AAA batteries, the case from cheap plastic. A copy of an American hair polisher.
- Machine for split ends Fasiz (2900-3700 p.). Better analogue Split Ender, which has advanced functionality: works from the network (voltage of 220 volts). Power - 60-200 W, there is an adjustment thermostat. Includes travel bag. Body material - ceramics.
Split Ending Machine Polisher
The main device, which carries out the procedure for the elimination of damaged areas, may even be the most budget. Professional machines have only one advantage - they can have special nozzles for polishing in a set, moreover, of several types. The best of them are:
- Mozer EasyStyle. The country of origin is Germany, you can buy it on the official website. Includes a steel nozzle for polishing and 5 more different options for a haircut. Knives are steel, battery powered.
- Expert Dewal. The budget version of the polisher, which is charged from a special platform. It has several modes of speed.
- Oster. All the cars of this brand are suitable for polishing hair, the most popular is the model 76616-910. Powered by mains, knives 4.6 cm wide (wagon by nozzles).
Price of a hair polisher
To predict the cost of such a device is difficult if you do not decide on the model. Even a professional hair polisher can be inexpensive, and as the functionality expands, it will increase in price. Below are models with a 46 mm blade width (i.e. for polishing tips). Some online stores may additionally charge money for shipping, especially outside the Moscow Ring Road, which is not reflected in this table, because calculated individually.
Virtues
We list the main positive moments with which all home masters meet:
- multiple polishing of one strand allows you to bring the result to the ideal,
- machine grinding creates perfectly smooth cuts,
- hair rods are not cauterized by the heated surface, but are cut off in a special way,
- no side effect of dry hair, the procedure is generally safe,
- each strand of hair is bent, divided into sectors, combed in the process of movement, with this approach it is possible to reveal all the broken spots and not miss a single defect,
- after the procedure, the girls forget about controlling the tips for 3-6 months, so the machine gives a lasting effect,
- when processing, up to 90% of all the lumps are removed, so the hairstyle looks much more aesthetic,
- using the machine you can get incredibly clear cuts, which is good for non-layered haircuts,
- the problem of the difficulty of combing hair is neutralized, as they practically cease to be confused.
disadvantages
The main negative sides of the polishing machine:
- negative feature is the impossibility of grinding with the problem of hair loss,
- do not polish on loose, depleted hair,
- the machine will be useless for curly girls,
- Some reviews say that you can become dependent on hair polishing - the procedure will be required all the time, the effect is short (machines and nozzles do not polish the hair, and even more fluff the tips).
These points are more features than minuses. And the last point, most likely, is connected with non-professional hair polishing.
hair after polishing look well-groomed
Hairbrush polisher
Not everyone is able to deftly handle the razor and the nozzle, in which case you should choose a comb. The polishing hairbrush is miniature, it is pleasant to hold it, all cut hairs are collected in a special container and are disposed of when all the work is done.
The operation of the device is similar to a trimmer. Combs are good because you do not need to straighten hair. The hairbrush removes only a few millimeters of hair, has a lot of positive feedback.
For example, the Split Ender comb-polisher is popular, which qualitatively and quickly removes split ends of hair, runs on batteries, eliminates the need to go to the hairdresser often, reduces the length by 3-6 mm.

Elizabeth, Moscow
Hello everyone, I am a hairdresser with experience. I want to add information and tell who really suits the machine for polishing hair.
Home or salon polishing of the tips with a typewriter is relevant for girls who are familiar with the following problems: excessive hair dryness due to health problems or aggressive external factors and frequent staining with potentially dangerous products.
I recommend to use polishing machines or to cut oneself with hot scissors if regular hair styling occurs with thermo devices - hair dryer, iron, curling iron, thermal hair rollers.
Hair need to be polished after chemical procedures, for example, chemical waving. It is also necessary from time to time to remove the tips, if there is a predisposition to increased brittleness of the hair for various reasons.
If you have difficulty data, then a hair sander will help you.
Daria, Ufa

I advise you to pay attention to the Oster 76616-910, this device is powered from the network, has a standard knife width of 4.6 cm, that is, they are adapted to different nozzles.
I can also praise the German brand Mozer Easy Style, we ordered cars on the website of this company. Received excellent hairdressing devices, each supplemented with a steel polishing nozzle, and there are also 5 haircuts. Knives are made of steel, the machine is powered by a battery.
If you have little money, then take a budget machine Expert Dewal, it has several speeds.
Sveta, Rostov-on-Don
Hello everyone, several times did the grinding in the cabin. Extra tips are cut off without loss of length, just a few millimeters. My ends about 5 mm were cut off. Now I dream to get a car for the house. I will do the polishing itself. I do not want a nozzle, not a comb, namely a typewriter. I think that it is necessary to choose this device, guided by the characteristics: ergonomics, the desired type of power, power, the presence of different modes, the material of the body and the blades. Your review helped me make my choice.
To successfully do the hair polishing at home, you need a machine or attachment for a clipper. And still need a hair dryer or iron. Also need a good brush and an indelible care product. As practice shows, it is not necessary to have an expensive machine, it is enough to buy a polishing attachment and put it on any clipper.
Types of devices for polishing hair
There are two types of devices for polishing hair at home:
- Polishing nozzles for clippers,
- Polishing combs (trimmers).
If it is not there, and you only need the device for cutting the split ends, it will be more profitable to buy a comb for polishing hair.
Characteristics of nozzles on typewriters
The polishing head is a plastic part that attaches to a regular clipper.. It directs the strand in such a way that the blades can only cut off the tips that get out of the mass, without shortening the length.
The nozzle has several strand dividers (from 4 to 6 in different models). The more of them, the better the strand is fixed in the typewriter and the easier the grinding procedure will be.
Hg polishen - the most popular and advertised nozzle in Russia. Advantages of this model: a well-known brand, strong plastic, six strand dividers, the ability to quickly order it through the official website or numerous groups in social networks.
Cuts from 0.3 to 1 cm of the length of the damaged hair. Fits on the canvas typewriter 45-46 mm. Its price is from 1500 to 1700 r..
Healthy hair - Another common nozzle of Russian production. There is little information on the manufacturer’s website, and the owners of this model note a lower quality of plastic and fasteners compared to the “promoted” models. Cuts 5-10 mm in length. The width of the knife block of the machine should be 45-46 mm. The cost of the nozzle - 1500 p.
Smooth hair polishen - polishing nozzle from Ukraine. Differs in low cost 1170 rubles., but will have to pay for shipping to Russia. This is a complete analogue of the nozzle HG Polishen.
Polisher universal - Another Russian analogue of HG Polishen. It differs in several details: a reduced number of dividers, side edges, the ability to fix the nozzle on machines with a width of 45 to 50 mm. Nozzle cost from 1400 to 1500 r.
When choosing a nozzle, consider the following points.:
- the width of the knife blade of the machine from split ends, for which the polisher attachment is intended,
- quality of fixings
- the number of strand separators.
The apparatus for removing split ends of hair, on which you will attach the attachment, can be anything, but the result of the procedure depends on the sharpness and cleanliness of its blades. Great for grinding moser - a professional machine for trimming split ends of German-made hair.
It is characterized by high quality steel, so that the blades will not become dull for a long time, and the cut of damaged hairs will be perfectly even. This device is universal, but the grinding head must be purchased separately.
Comb Trimmers
Models of special machines for polishing (they are combs to remove split ends of hair, they are also trimmers) are convenient because you do not need to purchase a clipper.
This device has only one function - a comb. removes splitting hair. This purchase will cost you more than a nozzle.
In Russia, two variants of such combs for cutting split ends of hair are popular - Fasiz and Split Ender. What is the best machine for polishing hair? What is the difference between them?
Fasiz considered a professional hair polisher. The manufacturer’s website states that this device has several advantages over the Split Ender comb. Fasiz is convenient because it has a built-in battery (unlike the Split Ender, for which you have to buy batteries). Instead of a plate, blades are embedded in it, which remove damaged tips the first time. Cuts 0.6 cm of hair. The cost of this device - from 3000 p.
Split ender - This is a simpler and cheaper option than Fasiz. Cuts 3-6 mm tips. Hairbrush for split ends of hair does not work on the network, it will require four batteries. Compact model that can be taken on the road. Its price is from 1400 to 2000 p..
The principle of the comb is the same as that of a typewriter. The device for removing split ends of hair has a special clip that needs to be opened to grab a strand of hair. Treat each strand should be 3-5 times.
You can see what a hair polishing machine looks like in the photo below:
Polishing procedure
Regardless of how you use a device for polishing hair, you need to follow a few rules, so as not to spoil the hair.
- Before you polish your hair, you need to wash your hair without using masks and balms.. Why can not apply care products? They will smooth the surface of the hair, and protruding tips "hide" from the blades of the machine, which removes split ends.
After washing, dry the hair naturally or with a hair dryer, and then straighten it with an iron. This moment is especially important for owners of wavy curls. You have to get a smooth sheet of hair, on which sticking damaged hairs stand out - the apparatus will fight with them. If curls and waves get under his knives, they may suffer from the procedure. Comb your hair thoroughly and divide it into four parts. (you can mentally draw a horizontal and vertical line on the surface of the head).
This is necessary in order for you to consistently process the entire mass of hair, not entangled in the strands. Separate small strandsTheir thickness should be no more than three or four centimeters. A bunch of hair should be clamped between the middle and index finger of the free hand and put into the grinding nozzle.
Then smoothly swipe the device along the length of the strand, strongly pulling it. Each strand must be processed four to five times for maximum effect. If your hair is cut through the entire length, and not just at the tips, it makes sense to hold the machine along the whole strand. However, if you use the machine to remove split ends of hair along the entire length, owners of severely damaged hair may lose part of the volume.
In this case, only the tips can be processed - then the “fluffiness” of the web will remain, and the effect of the procedure will be less pronounced.
In any case, polishing does not change the length of the hair, it only shears everything that stands out from the total mass of the strand.
How to properly care for a hair polishing machine?
Hair clipper split ends hair does not require complex care. After you have finished the procedure, clean the compartment for the cut hairs with a special brush that comes with the machine.
Knives need to periodically grease. To achieve perfect polishing quality, do this after each use.
Keep it in a dry place, avoid drops and bumps.. Then the machine will serve you for a long time, but the quality of its work will not upset you.
Effect of the procedure
The result of polishing depends on the initial condition of the hair. After the first procedure, they become smoother and softer, excessive fluffiness disappears, curls look more well-groomed and healthy.
Polishing removes split and torn tips by 90-95%. This procedure is especially relevant for people suffering from trichotilosis. In this disease, the hairs are damaged along the entire length. Grinding helps in growing hair when every centimeter counts.
However, if your hair has been badly damaged or overdone with polishing, the procedure can make the tips more sparse. The cut line will become curved and torn, and the volume of hairstyle will decrease.
therefore It is not recommended to use a polishing machine for grinding hair more often than once in a couple of months.. And if you have curly hair or a complicated haircut, it is better not to experiment with polishing at home and entrust this procedure to a professional.
Keep in mind that polishing cannot replace a haircut with scissors. You may have to trim your hair a little, since after cutting off the diseased tips the cut line may break.
Will the result last for a long time? On average, the effect of the procedure lasts one to two months. Remember that the machine for removing split ends of hair only removes damaged hair, but does not heal. If you do not reconsider your hair care, the section will soon return to you.
Home hair polishing is a procedure that can both transform your curls and harm them. Choose high-quality polishing tools, use them wisely and you will forget about split ends..
We hope that you know what machine is needed for polishing hair, but do not forget about proper care, because the machine alone will not make your hair healthier. Yes, at home you can polish your hair without a car, but still it is better to use a machine against split ends.

Nozzle on a hair polishing machine can be suitable for any model, and this, you see, is a big plus. During the processing of the strands, practically every split tip is cut. In contrast to the usual scissoring, the edge turns out to be smooth, not loose. As a result, the fluffiness is removed, and the hair along its length becomes smooth. Also, polishing can be an additional final stage after lamination or keratin straightening.
Who is suitable polishing
The procedure is simply necessary for hair:
- regularly treated with a hairdryer, curling irons and irons,
- stained and discolored,
- damaged after perm,
- dry and brittle,
- for girls seeking to grow length and for which every millimeter of hair is important.
Note! In no case should the hair polishing machine come into contact with thin or curly locks.
Benefits
The fact that the cut ends can not be recovered is known to all. And the only way to solve the problem is a haircut. But there are cases when the hairs split along the entire length and it is rather difficult to cut them. It is in this case that a hair polishing machine comes to the rescue, with many pluses:
- strands remain well-groomed, smoother soft for up to 4 months,
- after the procedure, 70 to 90% of split ends are removed,
- strands are not confused, which facilitates combing,
- a perfectly even cut is formed, which cannot be achieved with scissors,
- cleaned from 3 to 10 mm, which does not affect the length.
How is polishing done
As mentioned earlier, a special hair polishing machine is required for the procedure. Step-by-step process diagram:
- All strands are aligned with an iron or the same effect is achieved using a hair dryer and brushing.
- Hair is divided into zones, as with normal haircuts.
- If the hairstyle is graduated, that is, it has a different length, then the master delays each strand down and carries the machine along the entire length.
- At one length, the curl is pulled up. This sets the maximum graduation.
- At the end, using the same nozzle, the master can trim the hair.
Tip Tips
When buying, consider the following points:
- the width of the knife block polishing machine,
- attachment quality
- the number of strand separators.
Apparatus for polishing hair can be any. The result of the procedure depends on the cleanliness and sharpness of the blades in the nozzle.
Hair polisher: price
Moser, a professional machine made in Germany, is perfect for grinding strands.
The advantage of the device over the other is the high quality of steel, so you should not worry about the rapid blunting of the blades. As a result, after the procedure, you will get the perfect cut of damaged hairs. The device is universal, but the nozzle will have to be purchased separately.
Perhaps, after such a characteristic, you are interested in the question of how much a hair polishing machine from the German company Moser costs. So, the price for the device varies from 2,000 to 2,500 rubles. You can buy it through the Internet or in hardware stores.
Hair polishing machine: reviews
Most of the opinions about this procedure are positive. Many girls do polishing in the salons, and the only advice from them is to find a good master, otherwise the result will be hardly noticeable.
Some of the fair sex performed the procedure at home using the HG Polishen nozzle. According to their reviews, the tips were cut off well, but for a better result you need to fill your hand.
As for stylists, they recommend polishing 1 time in 60 days and be sure to monitor the condition of the hair after the procedure. In this case, the hair will have to polish much less.
Recommendations for care after the procedure
- Wash your head with sulfate-free shampoos.
- Do not neglect the balm.
- Treat the tips with oil mixtures of retinol and tocopherol.
- A day later, spend aromatherapy and combing using essential oils.
- Rinse your hair with a decoction of chamomile.
From the above, we can conclude that a hair polishing machine, the price of which is available to the public, can change our idea of a haircut. The technology not only facilitates the work of the master, but also reduces the time spent in the salon, thereby taking hair care to a new level. Of course, the machine will not be able to solve the problem of split ends once and for all, since the causes of damage can be different: starting with a lack of vitamins and ending with environmental exposure. However, the polishing procedure can improve the general condition of the hair several times.
Design features
By its design, the machine for grinding, is practically no different from the classic device for hair cutting. They are a device with an engine, interchangeable nozzles or knives and a battery.
Classic polishing machine
Types of machines:
- Battery electric. Charged by a replaceable unit or conventional batteries. Very comfortable to use, do not hinder movement. In addition, they are practical when traveling or when traveling frequently.
- Network electrical. Charged from the network of 220 volts (standard voltage, is in almost every apartment in the CIS). They are a little less transportable than rechargeable ones, but, as the practice shows, hairdressing is much more powerful. During the procedure, the wire can interfere with the work, so you need to get used to such devices,
- Hand held. The very first clippers. They work without electrical parts at all. The action is due to the lever, which makes them similar to ordinary scissors (although there are many cutting surfaces). Now there are very rare in view of the complexity of processing curls.
The grinding process itself is carried out by a special nozzle - polish. It consists of one or several rows of plates, with the help of which the effect of polishing is achieved. Special clamping design allows you to "identify" the speakers for the bulk, tips, and gently cut them. Naturally, the main length remains untouched.
Standard equipment for hair clippers
Many girls are interested Does the hair polish the hair? You need to understand that in itself it is not harmful - everything that makes this device cuts off the excess, just like ordinary scissors. But this method of processing has certain disadvantages. Firstly, the machine and the nozzle do not distinguish between cut and normal hair. If the tip protrudes from the total length - it will be clipped. Secondly, the effect is short-lived. Depending on what model of nozzle is used, the result will last from 3 to 6 months.
In addition, the length, however, suffers a little. If all these shortcomings are serious for you, it is better to cut off the ends with scissors. That is why, many reviews on the question of what is better, polished hair by hand or machine, answer that manually.
How to choose a typewriter - review

Selection of nozzles for polishing
In order to carry out the procedure of hair polishing machine, you need to choose high-quality nozzles. It is extremely important that they are made of high-quality steel, have high cutting and ergonomic performance.
What nozzles are:
- Stainless steel. Cheapest and most affordable. Sold in virtually every online store hairdressing equipment. Have a relatively long service life, although they are fragile. Among the shortcomings it is necessary to highlight the fact that they quickly become soiled and dull. For prevention, it is recommended to clean them every time after the procedure, and to sharpen at least twice a month,
Knives before and after sharpening - Alloy steel. Produced from steel alloy with titanium, nickel and other metal compounds. Treat as professional, but are available for purchase of the ordinary user in specialized shops. Naturally, their price is much higher than stainless. But this is more than compensated for by the high quality of the processing of split ends. She also needs regular cleaning and sharpening, otherwise the effect of the procedure will decrease each time,
- Plastic. In fact, they are pressing and not cutting. They fix the strand in several places, after which the tips are cut off by the knives of the machine. The very popular HG polishen head is made from such plastic.
Knives before and after sharpeningExternally, each nozzle looks like an inclined-shaped press with neat dividers. They come into operation as soon as the engine of any vibrating machine starts and the hair begins to move parallel to the knives of the device itself.

The price spread at nozzles reaches several tens of dollars. Therefore, immediately need to decide for what you need it. If you hold periodic sessions exclusively - then a professional attachment on a hair polishing machine is simply unprofitable. But if you want to use it for commercial purposes - then it is better to spend money, but provide yourself with a quality tool.
What is
Polishing is a procedure that is resorted to when trying to get rid of split ends. Such grinding is achieved in different ways:
- hot scissors cutting
- removing split ends with simple hairdresser scissors,
- using a polishing machine,
- used in the work and a special apparatus for polishing hair, called a comb-trimmer.
By polishing resorted to in cases where strongly visible protruding split ends of the strands. And whatever method is used, the principle of polishing is the cutting of split ends along the entire length, the result of which are smooth, well-groomed curls with the effect of lamination.
Types of polishing devices
Trying to choose a device for removing split ends of hair, you should carefully study the features of each model. After all, not only the quality of the procedure depends on the device, but also the health of the hair after it. In addition, modern manufacturers offer various devices. This can be either a professional hair polisher or a regular splitter trimmer.
So what to choose? First of all, it is necessary to decide what the tool will be used for. If the fight against split ends will go exclusively in the living conditions, and the device itself will be used infrequently, then the simplest hair polisher will be suitable, more affordable.
In the case when the device for removing split ends will be used often (for example, in the cabin), then it would be more expedient to purchase a quality model with alloyed (steel alloy with stronger connections) blades and possibilities not limited to polishing.
Trimmers
Such a device for polishing hair is known as grinding comb. In appearance, it resembles an ordinary comb, inside of which there are blades with a special container for collecting the cut split ends of the hair. The work is convenient, so it is suitable even for beginner hairdressers / lovers.
The essence of the procedure lies in the fact that the included device must be carried out on a separate strand (about 3 cm wide and located inside the clip) with combing movements. In total, there should be about five such strokes on each treated area. Similar machine to remove split ends suitable for domestic use.

Cars with nozzles
There are options for full-fledged machines with grinding nozzles, but standard clippers are also used, to which the corresponding nozzle is simply bought. According to the principle of operation, this is a part that is equipped with several strand dividers (4-6), which guide the selected hair bundle in such a way that the blades can cut only the cut part. Made of metal or plastic.
Types of devices:
- rechargeable. Run on battery or batteries
- network electrical. Work from a network in 220 Volt,
- hand held. Outdated and most difficult to handle models. They work with the help of special levers.
Types of nozzles. Hair polishing with a machine will give a good result if a high-quality nozzle is selected for the device. By type of material they are divided into the following groups:
- from stainless steel. Differ in availability (it is possible to buy in any shop of the hairdresser's equipment) and low cost (in comparison with other types). Quickly getting stupid and polluted. It is important to frequently clean the device and sharpen it (at least once a month). Serve long
- plastic. Less durable, but more convenient in work. The most famous nozzle of this series is HG polishen,

Can be found in specialty stores. For those who are wondering which machine is better for polishing, it is worth choosing this option. Serves for a long time.

An important point when choosing a nozzle is its width. It should match the width of the existing machine.

Polishing stages
The procedure itself is as simple as possible and does not take much time (about half an hour).
How to make hair polishing machine?
- In order to see all problem areas in the process of work, the shampoo is good for washing hair. Use oils, balms and other caring cosmetics can not.
- Further strands are dried and straightened with an iron. The straightening stage is very important, because if the healthy curls are not smoothed, they will fall under the cut.
- Further curls are processed in strands. Part of the hair that is not used in the work, is pinned.
- Then a strand is taken up to a width of 3 cm, which is picked up by a machine (trimmer) and a pull angle is calculated. It is calculated depending on the haircut. If the length of the curls is the same everywhere, strand stretches upward, and the machine slides along it from the roots upwards. If the haircut is cascade, the strand is pulled down, and the slide of the device is also directed downwards.
- The same order is processed in the same way on the other hand.
- Thus, the entire head of hair is polished.
An important point. It is necessary to start polishing not from the roots, but from the place where the split hairs are clearly visible..
Polishing effect
After polishing, the curls become smooth and shiny. Split tips are removed by 90-95%. The effect lasts about two months. But even if the split ends were resumed earlier, you should not get carried away with this method, otherwise the hair will become rare, and the length will be significantly reduced.
Choosing polishing at home, spend it carefully, otherwise sections may be noticeable, and the hairstyle will lose its volume.
As for the advantages and disadvantages of such a procedure, there is no consensus among hairdressers-stylists. Yes, and reviews about hair polishing are ambiguous. So, some believe that the machine against split ends copes with its task, quickly brings the hair in order, and she looks well-groomed.
Other masters say that polishing with such devices spoils the curl, and the section is only strengthened. Therefore, promote other methods of grinding. Those who doubt, try to find an answer with friends, acquaintances, etc. Whatever it was, and the machine against split ends is very popular.
But in order for the result not to be deplorable, you need to take a responsible approach to the choice of the instrument. High-quality blades will make a more accurate cut, which means - will increase the chances of preserving the health of growing locks.
What type of clipper to give preference
The clipper is a universal device for cutting hair on the head, as well as an indispensable assistant for men, it copes with the task of caring for the mustache and beard, but for more fine work in this direction designed special devices "trimmers", with their help you You can create a gorgeous beard, without resorting to the services of masters in specialized salons. When choosing and buying this kind of equipment, you need to pay attention to the following:
- it is necessary to clearly define what the device will be used for, on the market are presented as models, generalists who are suitable both for the purpose of leveling the beard and for ordinary purposes, that is, ordinary hair cutting. If the device is necessary for you solely for the care of the beard, we recommend to sharpen your eyes on the trimmer,
- the second important parameter is the power of the device, the higher this indicator is, the smoother the stroke of the machine during the shearing process, and accordingly it will pull out the minimum amount of hair,
- blades, in most models they are made of stainless steel with titanium, less often with carbon coating. Better, and therefore more expensive models have ceramic knives,
- when choosing a device, it is necessary to examine its package of delivery, which should include a minimum number of nozzles, that is, at least 5 pieces. The variation in blade height regulation should range from 0.5 to 40mm,
- In addition to everything, it will be necessary to determine which power option for you will be more convenient, purely battery option, only wired, or combined, only you decide.
Rating of the best manufacturers
The widest choice of models is presented by the following manufacturers: BaByliss, Philips, Panasonic and Moser. The most interesting is that Philips and Panasonic occupy the dominant market niche. These manufacturers are engaged in the production of multifunctional devices for haircuts, equipping them with all sorts of functionality, keeping the price tag at a fairly acceptable level. However, choosing among the budget device, people prefer the Chinese brand Polaris. At the same time, various salons and hairdressers give their preference to the German company Moser and its units. Moser devices are credited with extensive functionality, and high-quality parts ensure a long service life, securing all the advantages of the device to an excellent level of assembly. Instead of the usual vibration motor, they use a rotary engine, thanks to which the device practically does not vibrate during operation.

Polaris PHC 2501
It is an affordable version of a hair clipper, and ranks third in our top clippers device since 2018. Among all the representatives of this price niche, this unit has the most affordable price for most buyers, but not the lowest characteristics. The power of this device is made over the network with an ordinary cable. Thanks to this, you have the opportunity to cut hair from 0.8 to 20 millimeters long. Together with the device, only 1 per attachment is supplied, however this is not a minus, because the device itself has the ability to set the length of the haircut in 6 positions, which will allow you to adjust the length as you need.
On the positive side, Internet users attributed ease of operation, compact dimensions and a fairly small weight. And that's not all, the package bundle is quite extensive, and includes the necessary tools and consumables, thanks to which you can maintain the machine, namely, a brush and oil. Thanks to a wide knife, 45 mm, you will cut off a wide area of hair at a time. The blades are made of high quality material, and the sharpening is done on a level, thanks to which it can serve you for a long time. However, some users believe that the delivery set in the form of the 1st nozzle and the inconvenient grip of the handle is a significant disadvantage.
Panasonic ER131
The first place among the available hair clippers is rightfully occupied by the Panasonic ER131. In this model, an engine is installed, which accelerates to 6300 rpm, which ensures smooth shearing. The length of the cut hair can be adjusted from 3x to 12mm. The device has a capacious battery capable of providing 40 minutes of battery life. The device can be powered directly from the mains. The set in addition to the cleaning kit provides 2 nozzles for cutting.
The advantages of the device include relatively small among competitors, quiet operation, as well as high-quality attachment nozzles. Despite the low cost, the device cover is made of high-quality plastic, which can survive several falls. In order to adjust the length of the haircut, you just need to simply replace the nozzle with another one. The weak points of this machine are attributed to a low-power indicator and the absence of any charging indicator.

Panasonic ER508
In this list, an honorary leading position staked out a model from a Japanese manufacturer. Compared with the two previous devices, it has the lowest price (from 2,000 to 2,300 rubles), but it is equipped with better performance and higher quality. The device can be connected both to the network and to operate from the battery, the battery life is approximately sixty minutes of active use. The downside is a very long recharge - about twelve hours. The length of the sheared hair is adjustable; it is performed either by means of fitting nozzles or by means of adjusting the cutting surface. The length variations are from three to forty millimeters. There is also the possibility of cleaning with liquid, which is very convenient when servicing the device.
Judging by the reviews, users are very satisfied with the quality and reliability, fairly quiet operation and battery power. I also really like the package bundle, which includes, in addition to the usual attachments, hair filing tips. The disadvantages include the absence of a case and a bulky charger. This device is worth buying for home use.
Philips HC7460
The second place in this list is taken by the aggregate of the Dutch manufacturer, which showed itself well in the market. The device is equipped with all the modern features with excellent features. A striking example is the battery, which, after charging, is able to function for one hour. There are sixty different modes of adjustment of the length of the haircut, performed by means of three nozzles and a regulator near the cutting surface.
Public opinion about this device is extremely positive in its majority. It stands out very good build, stable operation, efficiency and convenience. The only disadvantage of this device is too much volume during operation and increased stiffness of the regulators, which are quickly erased. The price of the device is naturally not small, but for such a machine it is not a pity to pay from 4,000 to 4,100 rubles.
Moser 1884-0050
Perhaps the first position among professional hair clippers won an aggregate from a German manufacturer. The device is very popular among expensive salons, because it has an incredibly expensive price (11,000 rubles on average), but at the same time it has excellent technical indicators, elegant functional features and unique design performance. One of the features is the work by means of a rotary engine, which allows almost completely eliminate vibration during operation, and is very durable. The device is endowed with a powerful battery that, when fully charged, is able to function up to seventy-five minutes.
All impressions from the use of this device are only positive. The device is reliable, convenient has a high-quality cutting surface and a lot of nozzles that can be adjusted from seven hundredths to twenty-five millimeters, has a beard and mustache trimmer, which proves the device belongs to the professional category. The disadvantages include weak controls and poor ergonomics. The rest of the machine is just the perfect device for hair cutting.
