Buyers Guide - Personal Grooming Equipments
A clean shaven face and neatly cut nails make you look sharp and keeps your social standing handsomely fed too. Little wonder, it’s only natural to grow an affinity to grooming equipments (unless of course your life circles around a whole lot of solitude and a TV set). From shavers to epilators, there are tools that both men and women can use to zap fuzz in seconds or tame an unruly cowlick.So, here’s a look at the variety of nifty grooming tools totally worth indulging in.
From stray nasal hair, maintaining a designer beard, to defining your sideburns, a trimmer will see you through these and more troubles with ease. Available in cordless and rechargeablevarieties, a trimmer will make a two-day stubble look good and help you flaunt that peak side crop cut too. Just get a grip on the interchangeable heads and learn the clipper combinations to tailor make your grooming session. You can pick fancy ones with laser guides that’ll help you ace the most complex beard pattern with flair.
If you’re aiming for a squeaky-clean baby face without the dread of razor burns, pick a shaver. It gives your face a close shave without the need for a shaving cream! Available in cordless styles with flexible blades, a shaver will have a host of lengths (0.4m to 7m) that you can choose depending on how close a shave you desire. The battery life spans a minimum of one hour and a maximum of four hours in one charge.
Whether you want to style your hair while you dry them or simply want a blow dry, a blow dryer is a handy tool. Just remember the higher the wattage of the dryer the hotter and faster it would be. So if you have thick hair, opt for one with a higher wattage and vise-versa. Also, if you don’t want your hair to be fried opt for a dryer that has adjustable airflow and heat levels. In case you have curly hair pick an attachment called a diffuser that beats frizz and tangles in the hair. Opt for a dyer with a folding handle incase you’re a frequent traveller.
If you’re tired of straight hair and don’t mind giving your locks a bit of curl power, go ahead and pick a hair curler. These come in heated and non-heated options, and are pretty easy to use. You can choose from velcro rollers, steam rollers, magnetic rollers, flexi rods, and perm rods- let’s say you’re pretty spoilt for choice. Remember a thick rod will give you loose curls, while a thin rod will give you tight curls. In addition, some hair curlers come with a straightener too. All you need to do is change the attachment.
If you suffer from a case of frizzy moody hair, get set to pick a hair straightener.Know that a straightener has three basic types of plate widths- slim (2.5cm-3cm), medium (3cm-4cm), and wide(6cm). A slim plate is perfect for short hair, medium for medium length, and wide for long thick hair. You can pick a straightener with variable temperature settings so you can switch up or play down the heat depending on your hair type. A hair straightener plate is made of several materials like ceramic, titanium, tourmaline, and Teflon. Ceramic is by far the most common plate type.
From wet to dry, corded to cordless- Epilators can help you get rid of unwanted hair in the confines of your washroom. Before you pick an epilator, figure out how you’d like to use it. Would you be using it on dry legs or in the shower?Pick a corded epilator if it’s for the former as it offers more power and can be used while plugged in. If it’s in the shower you’d need to get a cordless wet and dry model. Just remember to charge the epilator before using it so there isn’t any last minute goof ups. It’s interesting to note that some epilators come packed with a shaver and trimmer attachment, which helps cut hair to a perfect length before epilation.
If you get bored of hairstyles easily,you’ll need an army of hair stylers to keep up with your needs. Thank god there are tools for your company. You can pick a hot air styler that gives your hair volume and definition while you dry them. Pick one with a broad barrel if you want your hair to look full, or pick one with a small brush attachment if you want defined curls. If you want the goodness of all grooming tools in one go for a multi styler. This one comes with a string of attachments that can crimp, straighten, or curl your hair. A cordless gas hair styler is a perfect travel companion and comes with a curling tong and a brush. All you need is a good supply of disposable batteries and you’re sorted. From loose waves, ringlets, to tight curls a flexi styler is versatile. It comprises a bunch of flexible stylersthat adds volume to the roots and gives your hair a bunch of curl options.
Be it a boy or a girl, well-cared hands and feet speak volume about much regard you give to personal grooming. For this you don’t necessarily need to scurry to the nearest salon/parlor to get a professional looking manicure and pedicure. It can all be done at home. All you need is a nail care kit that has a nail file, nail buffer, nail clipper, callous rasp, orange stick, and tweezers. In addition you can even get a foot spa machine and be a pro at taking care of your hand and feet.
