my haircut is a short bald fade. can i use these on the sides of my head? do these ever pull on hair or do they cut clean? thanks

You could use it on sides depending on how long you hair is it really won't pull. Clean cut all the time

Are you trimming or lining up, or are you doing clipper over comb or using guards? It cuts pretty well, but go slower than you would because this is a trimmer with a finer closer tooth blade and is really meant more for trimming, but just go slower than you would with clippers with larger not as close blades.

You will want to cut it down before you use it on the sides, if it is to long it might pull your hair....meaning if you already have Clippers that cut it to a 0, 1, or 2. Then just use these It will just give it a closer, cleaner cut!!!!!

i don't think they pull but they don't cut very close if you are particular about that sort of thing....if not then i think youll be happy with them. they are lightweight and ive had them for years...they are the only trimmers that have ever held up for me...id do between 30-50 mens fades a week....they just don't get as close as the regular t edger (which ive had way more issues with)

I have used them on thin hair & they stay longer & more securely than the colored ones or the more expensive ones. They are great on thin, salt & pepper or gray hair cause they're not as visible also. Hope this helps.

Carolyn, I did not purchase these same scissors, the ones I got are just straight hair cutting shears. I agree with some of the other answers, you need to know exactly what you are doing not only for the current style you are trying to achieve but for the hairstyle that you will have as the hair grows back. For a lot of thinning, I recommend you got to a professional. If you know how to use these, I recommend you not use them on yourself but on others...hope that helps.

They are good for fades but I still use my osters for tight fade. They come with standard 1-8 size guards but not blend guard. I have so many old sets it didn't matter. Clippers a smooth and quiet. Worth the money.

It depends on where they are on your head. On the sides and back, assuming you want them to curl under, you put them on the bottom, underneath the curl. On top of your head, they may need to go on the back of the curl. Basically you just have to experiment. They do quite well once you figure it out. If your hair is very thick or very long, you may need to go to a beauty supply store and get larger stronger clips but they work well with my fairly thick hair cut at bob length.

I have long hair, however, I believe they will work well on shorter hair. I use them on my bangs and they work well to add some fullness to them.

Which end are you using that you are able to nick yourself? Trim all the hair down to a reasonable length with the clipper end and then use the razor end to take all the hair off. Take your time in a well lit area and to not try to hack at the hair. I find that pulling the skin taut prevents any close calls. It may also help to have someone assist you by using the razor and you just direct. If the blade needs replacing it will pull the hair and cause irritation. I have never managed to nick myself with this though like I have with standard hair clippers.

I use this for all my bald fades. As well as face and to shave the head. It works like a champ. It's not the fastest method. But it does give a clean smooth cut. If I could upload photos I would totally show you what it does. I highly recommend this shaver

They are sewn on o the hair piece, but I just looked at my pair and they could be removed by cutting the string carefully. Also when you straighten, curl, anything with heat use heat protectant I always spray mine till their pretty damp. And also trim them it's does wonders. Use sulfate free shampoo and conditioner.

I think these clippers are just meant for really short hair and to be used for a short time. Maybe just for fading and lining up.

I wouldn't expect them to work. I have very thin hair, also about 4 inches below my shoulder and the curl didn't hold at all. I've had much more success with a wide barrell curling iron, which gives me the exact look i was hoping for.

The blade is the only thing that seperates both from each other.tthe fademaster has a surgical blade which gets close to the scalp for balding and fading, specifically. The masters are for all around haircutting. Same clippers, different blades. @coreym

The truth is that I think it will depend on your skill level. If you are an experienced barber and are well versed in line ups, you shouldn't have much issue. I personally have a trimmer in addition to these, because the fade master is bigger and heavier, it is a bit less forgiving and I would be more apt to make a mistake. If you are experienced, they most certainly can and will do the job

They are really small. They are probably used for tapering around the hairline and ears. I don't know what size they are but they aren't meant to cut a lot of hair with, just the edges.

I have long hair so no I do not pull my hair through the top. It just allows sun to hit the top of your head while covering your face with a wide brim. I love it! Anyone with hair that is thin at the scalp would probably not want it because your head could get burned. But my hair is very thick and I like the fact that my roots get some sun.

I only shake them a bit after using and do pull out hairs that have "stuck" (which happens very infrequently). I have been using my latest one for 14 years with no problems!

These will give the close shave bald look. I don't have a bald head but I've cut a few and these clippers made my job a lot easier
