The Buzz on Clippers

Summertime usually means shorter haircuts, at least among the male members of our families. Once the hairstylist has established the initial haircut, maintaining it is a snap with the Classic 76 Clipper from Oster.

 

Oster clippers are among the top used by barbers and hairstylists because of their sturdiness, and they’re lightweight and easy to use. I frequently tell my clients to go with Oster if they choose to maintain boys’ buzzcuts at home (no more fighting!).

When you buy, definitely look for the kit that has all the accessories you see to the left; blade oil, brush, and the 7 piece attachment blade guard set. The blade number corresponds with the amount of hair removed (a standard for buzzcuts is with the “2″ guard).

Be sure to gently brush extra hair from the blade after every use, and oil the blade according to directions.

A Delicious Summer Treat for Your Hair!

An infusion of guava, mango and passion fruit makes Carol’s Daughter Tui Hair Smoothie ($19.00) sound like a summertime drink rather than an intense deep conditioner. Add shea butter, cocoa butter and jojoba oil, though, and you have a recipe for luscious summer hair.

Quench your thirsty hair by applying to freshly washed hair, massaging into your scalp to stimulate. Let your hair soak up the nutritious butters and oils for 5-15 minutes, then rinse out. Style as usual and repeat all season!
