How to polish your hair at home

Previously, no one could think that you can trim the ends of the hair without cutting the length. But after the hair polishing machine appeared, it became real for every girl. Having such a helper at home, you can forget about hairdressing, expensive salons and the fight with bitten tips.

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

• 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.

Principle of operation

After the special nozzle is put on a standard typewriter, its classic functionality will undergo changes and the device will begin to perform completely different functions.

The principle of operation, which determines the effectiveness of the struggle with split ends, is as follows:

1. Nozzle cuts hair ends and damaged areas., its design features allow you to perform only this task, without cutting a significant number of curls.
2. Stratified hairs, the structure of which was significantly damaged, thanks to which they have become much shorter than the main length of the hairstyle, will also be eliminated.
3. During the operation of this device are quite steep bends strands.This process is the most important, since sharp blades will pass in a centimeter from the place of bending, which will cut off the damaged parts.
4. During the operation of such a device, each lock in turn turns out to be clamped in its toothed part., which allows you to grind individual hairs, making their structure much smoother.

Nozzle on the machine

Smooth and shiny hair - a sign of grooming and health. However, this is difficult to achieve. Masters in beauty salons offer to use a hair polishing machine. It has similar properties with hot scissors. So you can get rid of split ends and give the hair the effect of lamination. The machine shears protruding tips along the entire length of the curls, thereby smoothing the surface.

But it is important to understand that this is not a medical procedure, but a cosmetic and temporary one. After applying the polishing machine for split ends, you must take care of the hair, dye less, curl and injure, that is, eliminate the causes of poor condition.

The result of the application, depending on the model and the initial state of the curls, can last from 3 months to six months.

Features of polishing machines and selection rules

Grinding machine is very similar to the device for hair cutting. It is a tool with an engine, a set of different attachments, a battery or rechargeable battery.

Cars come in several forms:

• Battery operated or battery powered. They are charged from the plug-in unit. Their main convenience is free use. You can take with you on a trip, a trip, a business trip.
• Electric, that is, working on the network. This can be done from any outlet. In terms of transportation, they are no less convenient, but they are much more powerful than rechargeable ones. In addition, the wire may interfere somewhat during polishing.
• Hand held In this case, everything happens thanks to the lever. The mechanism is very similar to ordinary scissors. These are now almost impossible to find.

But whatever machine was, the whole thing is in a special nozzle. It is called polish. The nozzle has one or more rows of plates that even the surface of the strands. Thanks to the pressing design, all protruding, split ends are cut off. And the main length and hairstyle remain untouched.

There is no significant difference between the salon and home procedures. Professional machines for personal use are almost the same, the procedure is also. therefore When choosing a device, pay attention to the following characteristics:

• Type of food. We need to think in what conditions she will have to use. Will it be convenient to turn on a hair polisher from an outlet or better offline? The latter is useful in the trip.
• Naturally, the more powerful the device, the better. But here it is worth taking note of the density of the hair, the length and professionalism of the person who will do the polishing. Beginners should not chase for power.
• The material from which the machine is made. This refers to the strength and resistance to damage.
• The number of modes of the device.
• Ergonomic design. Ease of use gives you more chances for a positive result.

Which is better - scissors or polishing machine

For polishing hair using different methods. For example, they split the split ends with hot scissors or the usual ones with a harness technology. Today, such methods are used less and less. First, they take a very long time. The procedure can take up to 2-3 hours. Secondly, the result depends entirely on the attention and responsibility of the hairdresser.

In very neglected cases, polishing the hair with the machine takes 40 minutes. However, unlike a person, she does not distinguish between a split end and a healthy one; therefore, she cuts off everything. So in some cases the length may suffer. What is better and more convenient - polishing hair with scissors or a machine, each girl decides herself depending on the degree of the problem. But the method of grinding the device is more modern and reliable.

See in this video what's better - scissors or a polishing machine:

How to choose a machine for home use

If the girl is going to use the device at home, then you need to choose the right tool. In fact, polishing the hair in the salon and on their own is not much different. Therefore, there is no point in pursuing professional and expensive cars.

You can even use a man's haircut, and buy a special nozzle in a store for hairdressers. There are different in width and materials, so that there is a way that is suitable for an existing machine.

It is also better to choose a small and light. Independently not always and not at all angles it is convenient to handle strands. Hands get tired and numb. Well, if the machine is ergonomic shape, and it is convenient to hold in their hands.

Batteries or work from the network, each girl decides for herself. On the one hand, it is not necessary to change new ones, but such a machine is easier to use, since the wire is not confused. In addition, it is necessary to carry out the polishing procedure once a minimum of 2-3 months, so often there is no need to buy batteries. You can take it with you on trips.

Polishing tips

Nozzles are much more important. It should be of the highest quality, made of durable steel, have high cutting and ergonomic characteristics.

Nozzles for polishing machines are:

• Stainless steel. These are the cheapest. They can be found in any store for hairdressers. Though rather fragile, they serve for a long time. At the same time, they quickly grow dulled and foul. And from frequent sharpening may soon break. It is worth cleaning them every time after use. And sharpen no more than once a month.
• Alloy steel. It is an alloy of steel, titanium, nickel and other metals. Such attachments are already considered professional, but also easy to find in specialized stores. They are somewhat more expensive than those of stainless steel. But the quality of polishing split ends will be much better. However, it must be regularly sharpened, otherwise the result will be worse and worse.
• From plastic. These have a slightly different design. They press the strand, and the knives of the typewriter cut the bulging tips. The best among these is HG polishen.

When choosing a nozzle should determine its purpose. If it is needed only for independent use from time to time, then buying expensive, professional does not make sense and is unprofitable. But for commercial purposes it is worth investing in a quality nozzle.

However, to help get rid of the existing problem at the current time, such a procedure is quite capable.

Advantages and disadvantages

The polishing procedure is not yet very common today, but it is gradually beginning to gain popularity, which is provided by a wide range of advantages.

First of all, the following positive aspects can be distinguished:

1. Availability of this service today it can be done in virtually any barbershop, as well as at home, if you purchase the necessary equipment.
2. High efficiency compared with the usual cutting of the ends of split ends with scissors, since the polishing of the cut-off area remains smoother, which virtually eliminates the risk of re-splitting.
3. Unlike a number of alternative methods of working with damaged hair Thermal action is completely excluded, which can disrupt the hair structure and further aggravate the existing problem.
4. The process does not take much timeusually it takes no more than half an hour, even if the hair is long enough. This is two times less than when cutting or using alternative methods.
5. Even with clipping spoiled hair, they will not be cut more than a centimeter, so this treatment will not affect the length of the hairstyle in any way.
6. Guaranteed result and lasting effect, the repetition of such a procedure will be required no earlier than in 3-4 months.
7. The implementation of polishing does not require skills in hairdressing, because you do not need to give the hair shape or perform other similar actions.

Among the main disadvantages are the following factors:

1. Inability to solve the problem of split ends forever, because the violation of their structure most often occurs due to lack of vitamins, poor environmental conditions or improper care of hair.
2. Even when performing the procedure at home, you will need an assistant., especially if you want to polish long hair.
3. Can harm your hair, if they were previously dyed or curled in an artificial way, because in this case each hair acquires a porous structure. A negative effect can also be achieved in the presence of dermatological or fungal diseases, since there is a risk that the disease will become more acute.

The cost of this procedure may depend on many factors, you can select the most averaged prices:

1. When contacting the hairdresser, polishing hair costs an average of 700 to 1,500 rubles. Some salons request a fee above 1,500 rubles, but such conditions are not justified, since the procedure will not have any differences from its implementation for a lower amount.
2. In the implementation of polishing hair at home, costs will be determined only by the price of the nozzle, which must be purchased to equip the existing machine. The approximate cost of such a device is 1700 rubles.

Comparing prices, one can come to a logical conclusion that self-polishing at home is more profitable, since its cost is equal to or slightly higher than the price of receiving the service in the salon, and it will be necessary to pay it only once when making a purchase.

Yuliya: “For several years I have been going to one master and the last time he first suggested that I polish my hair. I was skeptical about this, but since I had enough free time, I decided to experiment and get a new experience.

I was more than satisfied with the final result: now my hair not only looks much more well-groomed and more attractive, but it has become and much easier to comb. The master said that in the coming months it would not be necessary to repeat this procedure, but for the future I took it to my note. ”

Dmitriy: “I have long hair, I wear them constantly collected in the tail, because of this they do not cease to split. Previously, the wife simply cut off the damaged ends with scissors, and recently acquired some special attachment that allows you not to cut the hair, but to polish it.

We tried to use it, the result was the same as with a normal haircut, but longer. Scissors had to be leveled regularly once a month, and 2.5 months passed after polishing, and there are still no traces of section or delamination. ”

Marina: “I have been using the polishing hairdressing service for quite a long time, I pass it about once every 4-5 months to get rid of split ends. I always ask for additional shine on the hair, which gives a certain effect that is identical to what happens after keratin straightening. ”

Haircut hot scissors (thermostatic)

Taking into account the condition and structure of the client's hair, the master heats the scissors to a temperature of 90-160 degrees. For the procedure you need to twist each strand in the flagellum and cut off the protruding ends of the hair.

With the help of hot scissors, hairs are soldered to the cutting line, which contributes to the retention of moisture and beneficial substances inside the hair.

Lamination

This procedure is the fastest and most effective for restoring the structure of curls. This method of polishing is carried out in several stages using professional preparations and keratin booster.
