Classification of Hair Clipper

Hair clippers can be classified based on various factors. Here are a few common classifications of hair clippers:

1. Corded vs. Cordless: Hair clippers can be categorized as corded or cordless. Corded clippers need to be plugged into an electrical outlet during use, providing a continuous power supply. Cordless clippers, on the other hand, are powered by rechargeable batteries and offer more flexibility and mobility.

2. Professional vs. Home Use: Hair clippers can also be classified based on their intended use. Professional-grade clippers are designed for barbershops and salons, offering more power, durability, and versatility to handle various hair types and styles. Home use clippers are typically designed for personal use and may have simplified features.

3. Blade Type: Hair clippers can have different types of blades, including:

   a. Detachable Blades: These clippers feature blades that can be easily removed and replaced. Detachable blades allow for versatility in terms of cutting lengths and styles.

   b. Fixed Blades: Some clippers have fixed blades that are permanently attached to the clipper. The cutting length is determined by the spacing between the fixed blade and the moving blade. These clippers may require different attachments or combs to achieve different lengths.

4. Cutting Length Options: Hair clippers can offer various cutting length options, either through adjustable blades or different attachment combs/guards. Some clippers may provide a wide range of cutting lengths, while others may have a limited number of preset length options.

5. Motor Type: Hair clippers can have different types of motors, including:

   a. Rotary Motor: These clippers use a rotating motor that provides high cutting power, making them suitable for thick or coarse hair.

   b. Magnetic Motor: Magnetic motor clippers use a magnetic mechanism to drive the blades. They are generally quieter but may have slightly less cutting power compared to rotary motor clippers.

   c. Pivot Motor: Pivot motor clippers combine the features of rotary and magnetic motors, offering a good balance between power and quiet operation.

6. Specialized Clippers: There are also specialized hair clippers available for specific purposes, such as:

   a. Trimmer Clippers: These clippers are designed for precise detailing, trimming of facial hair, or creating clean lines and edges.

   b. Taper Clippers: Taper clippers are designed for creating fade haircuts, blending different hair lengths seamlessly.

   c. Pet Clippers: Pet clippers are specifically designed for grooming pets and may have features like low noise levels and specialized blades for pet fur.

These classifications provide a general overview, and specific models of hair clippers may have additional features or variations. It's important to consider your specific needs, preferences, and the type of haircuts you intend to perform when selecting a hair clipper.
