The procedure allows you to quickly and harmlessly remove damaged particles from the hair structure. Grinding of curls is carried out with a machine, on which a special nozzle is put on.

A conventional hair clipper means choosing an attachment that adjusts to a specific hair length. When the device touches the head, the hair passes through the attachment, and it leaves the part of the hair corresponding to its parameters, and the rest is cut off with the special moving knives of the machine.

The principle of operation of the device for grinding strands is different. It is as follows:

• a narrow strand is taken;
• the nozzle opens, and a prepared strand of hair is inserted into it;
• the cap of the nozzle snaps into place, and it must be pulled along the length of the hair from the beginning of their damage to the very ends - at this moment, the split particles are trimmed.

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 are created for their polishing. In this position, the damaged hair particles protrude, and the blades of the knives cut them off instantly.

If you want to polish your curls at home, then you need to buy a special attachment for a hair clipper. The choice of such a device must be approached with extreme caution and due attention. The result and the appearance of the hair will depend on your decision. Some stylists believe that during the purchase of such a device, it is necessary to rely not on the brand of the attachment, but on the firm of the machine. In their opinion, it is she who is the main element on which the quality of polishing will depend. Other stylists tend to think that it is better to pay attention to the selection of the polishing attachment and its technical parameters.

In this case, first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the material of manufacture of the nozzle. The best option is plastic. Then you need to get acquainted with manufacturers who produce truly high-quality products.

In order for the polishing process to have a positive and effective result, it is necessary to adhere to certain rules during the procedure. Let's take a look at how to properly use the hair polishing attachment.

• Before starting the procedure, it is imperative to wash your hair without any special balms or other means that contribute to the adhesion of damaged scales.
• Next, you should fix the attachment on the clipper. To do this, you need to take the nozzle and attach it to the working part of the machine, then press down the device until it stops. In the case when the polishing attachment is equipped with special knives, you must first put them on, and then only the clamp itself.
• The entire head of hair is divided into two sections, which must be pinned or tied. First, work is carried out with one part, then with the second. Next, you need to separate a strand of small width (no more than 3 cm). The machine should be run through the hair from the place where the section begins. After fixing the device in this place, it is necessary to start moving the machine down. Sometimes it is necessary to run the device up the hair.
• For the effective operation of the nozzle, it is imperative to tighten the treated curls.
• After the end of the session, the hair must be washed and styled again. During washing, you can use special products for protection and leveling.

Thus, the purchase and implementation of the procedure for eliminating split ends at home is much more convenient, since the process itself is not too time-consuming. The cost of the attachment pays off almost immediately. In order for the device to serve you for a long time, you must definitely take care of it. There is a certain set of simple rules for caring for a polishing attachment.

First of all, after the end of the polishing session, the attachment should be cleaned with a brush or sponge. It is necessary to remove it from the machine and use any available metal or plastic cleaner (depending on your model) to carefully process the device. If the attachment is used to grind the hair of several people, then it must be treated with a sterilizing agent.

If suddenly during the processing of the hair polisher you notice any defects in the form of cracks or notches on it, 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 simply ruin the haircut.

If you have purchased a plastic attachment, then the average service life, subject to constant use, is from 6 to 10 months. At the end of this period, experts recommend replacing the device with a new one. As for metal nozzles, their service life will be longer. This is due to the fact that the material from which the product is made is stronger and more durable in itself.
