Today, there are many tips for polishing hair. The nozzle on the machine itself looks like a regular comb, which has special mounts for fixing. During operation of the machine, such a nozzle is able to fix the necessary part of the strand. At this moment, cutting of the part of the hair extending beyond the nozzle is ensured due to the vibration of the machine and the movement of the knives. There are varieties of nozzles in accordance with their functionality:
- regulatory length;
- milling density;

The procedure allows you to quickly and without harm to the hair remove damaged particles from the hair structure. Grinding of curls is carried out by a machine, on which a special nozzle is put on.
A conventional hair clipper involves choosing a nozzle that adjusts a specific length of hair. When the device touches the head, the hair passes through the nozzle, and it leaves part of the hair corresponding to its parameters, and the rest is trimmed with special moving knives of the machine.
The principle of operation of the device for grinding strands of another. It is as follows:
- a narrow strand is taken;
- the nozzle opens, and a prepared lock of hair is inserted into it;
- the cap of the nozzle snaps into place and it is necessary to stretch it along the length of the hair from the beginning of its damage to the very tips - at this moment, the cut particles are cut.
During the process itself, the curls that are in the clamp are bent several times. Thus, during the tension of the hair, all the necessary conditions for their polishing are created. In this position, damaged particles of hair protrude, and the knife blades instantly cut them off.
Thanks to the special design, the device allows you to keep the main part of the curl unchanged.

There is a certain set of simple rules for caring for a nozzle for polishing.
First of all, after the polishing session, the nozzle must be cleaned with a brush or sponge. It is necessary to remove it from the machine and using any available means for cleaning metal or plastic (depending on your model), carefully process the device. If the nozzle is used for grinding the hair of several people, then treatment with a sterilizing agent must be carried out without fail.
To find the right one, you can familiarize yourself with the instructions that come with each device. And also in the instructions will be described in detail the best methods for caring for the nozzle, according to the manufacturer.
If suddenly during processing of a device for polishing hair you notice any defects in it in the form of cracks or nicks, then such a nozzle is already considered unsuitable for reuse. During the next use of the device, you can damage healthy particles, which will lead to a deterioration in the general condition of the hair or just ruin the haircut.
If you purchased a plastic nozzle, then the average life of it, provided that it is used continuously, is from 6 to 10 months. At the end of this period, experts recommend replacing the device with a new one. As for nozzles made of metal, their service life will be longer. This is due to the fact that the material from which the product is made is itself stronger and more durable.
Nevertheless, do not forget that even the most wear-resistant device has a certain shelf life, after which it is better to replace the product with a new one.
