Hair Clippers, Another Huge Trend Created by COVID-19

In Korea, “Hair Clippers” are unfamiliar machines that you can see at hair salons or barbershops, but in the U.S., they are common tools at home. There are a lot of Americans who do most of the things on their own, and many of them cut their hair by themselves. In addition, the months-long quarantine conducted in the Corona situation took even those who used hair salons or barbershops in the front of their own mirrors.

For proof, the ‘Hair Clipper’ fiasco broke out in Amazon in early April when quarantine began. The hair clippers were all sold out because the salons were forced to close. Industry insiders predict that those who bought hairdressing machines during this period will continue to be self-treated in the future, so the insiders are busy preparing related items.

The more you understand hair clippers, the more ideas you will have to sell all the items you have. To help readers understand, the BNB conducted an analysis of the use and pros and cons of hair clippers.
Hair clippers are classified into three categories. Powerful ‘Detachable’, ‘Adjustable’ to cover various applications, and ‘Trimmer’ for finishing arrangement and shaving.

Just Like a Powerful Sports Car, the Detachable Blade Clipper!

It’s suitable for cutting Asian or long African hair quickly. To continue cutting thick and tough hair, you need a strong motor and sharp edge. Detachable Blade Clippers are the most powerful hair clippers in use today.
Just as a good driver is needed to take advantage of a sports car with a powerful engine, a hairdresser or an old DIY career is needed to make use of the advantages of a Detachable Blade Clipper. Some point out that it isn’t efficient because in order to adjust the length of the blade, it requires changing the entire blade. Also, due to the strong motor, it is inappropriate for delicate work.

Adjustable Blade Clipper, Multi-talented Chameleon-like Charm!

Currently, it is the most popular type of beauty supply. As its name implies, it is a product that the length of the blade can be freely adjusted during use. The length of the blade is longer when the button attached to the handle is placed on ‘open’, and the length is shorter when placed on ‘close’. There are also products with fine-grained blade lengths that can create a variety of styles with just one machine.
Because the motor’s power is somewhat reduced, it is inappropriate to cut a large amount of hair at once, so most experts use it in parallel with the Detachable Blade. Also, due to the slow blading speed, the hair is pushed while cut, making the cross section untidy.
As it is one of the most popular products, there are many popular products.
