Do This!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

You made the excellent choice to invest in a beard trimmer, and now, perhaps after using it for some time, your hair is getting caught in between the razors, and shaving has turned into a painful experience. If your beard trimmer keeps pulling your hair, you\u2019ve come to the right place for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your beard trimmer keeps could be pulling your hair for several reasons. Between low-quality trimmers, bad shaving technique, length, and required maintenance, you can identify the issue and find out how to fix the problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beard trimmers need to be performing at their best to give you a good, clean shave. And, for the most part, if your beard trimmers are pulling your hair, it means that there\u2019s something wrong with your beard trimmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why Your Beard Trimmer Keeps Pulling Hair<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.    Low Quality<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If your beard trimmer is pulling your hair out, especially if it\u2019s relatively new, the most probable reason that it is doing so is that you\u2019ve got a cheap, low-quality beard trimmer<\/strong>. As is the case with pretty much everything else, you get what you pay for with beard trimmers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to necessarily go for the most expensive beard trimmers that you can find. You just want something with a high-powered motor,<\/strong> and that has a lengthy warranty<\/strong>. Budget beard trimmers<\/strong> just aren\u2019t worth the expense at all. They won\u2019t last as long,<\/strong> and you may never have a comfortable shave<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to spend much; there are plenty of great value-for-money beard trimmers out there that yield a good power output. The trick is to strike the right balance between affordability and quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also may not be a matter of quality, <\/strong>but just that you haven\u2019t got the appropriate beard trimmers<\/strong>. Depending on what kind of beard you have, thick, full, coarse, curly, <\/strong>or wiry, <\/strong>the beard trimmer may simply not match the consistency of your beard<\/strong>. Do your research, read some reviews, and ensure that you\u2019re buying the beard trimmer that suits your beard\u2019s texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.    Bad Shaving Technique<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Getting started with beard trimmers is quite an adjustment from traditional shaving<\/strong> and can be challenging at first. Most people realize that beard trimmers aren\u2019t for them when they find out, for example, that it doesn\u2019t cut as close as a razor. So don\u2019t be so quick to judge your beard trimmers too quickly because it could just be that you haven\u2019t got a hold of the right technique<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is inevitably going to feel uncomfortable at the beginning as your skin adjusts to the blade. You need to shave with the grain, not against it<\/strong>, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the main point is that you cannot press your beard trimmers too hard against your skin<\/strong>. It should be gliding easily across your face and trimming all the hairs it comes into contact with your beard down to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.    Beard Is Too Long<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Most beard trimmers are made to be used on beards only up to a certain length. If you go over several parts of your hair many times and apply pressure to get that look you\u2019re going for, it will result in pain and discomfort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution<\/strong> would be to rather invest in a beard trimmer that\u2019s designed specifically for long beards<\/strong> or in a pair of beard scissors <\/strong>to snip some of the areas your regular beard trimmer can\u2019t handle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.    Beard Trimmer Needs Lubricant<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re still not finding any answers, you\u2019d be surprised by what cleaning and lubricating <\/strong>your beard trimmer can do for its performance <\/strong>and the consistency with which it cuts your hair. Dead skin, hair, and dirt can build up between your blades or on the beard trimmer\u2019s motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if you don\u2019t use it regularly, your beard trimmers still need to be thoroughly cleaned<\/strong> with hot water<\/strong> and some liquid soap<\/strong>. However, follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions for cleaning methods<\/strong> so that you don\u2019t damage<\/strong> the machinery in the beard trimmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re also going to need lubricant to ensure optimal performance<\/strong> and extend the lifespan<\/strong> of your beard trimmers. You can use a natural spray cleaner<\/strong>, light oil<\/strong> like clipper oil, or other suitable lubricants. NB: Don\u2019t use heavy oils<\/strong> (like 3-in-1 oil). They are too thick and can contain harmful substances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.    Replace Your Beard Trimmer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve read through all of the points above and are still not identifying the problem, it\u2019s possible that your beard trimmer is just too old<\/strong> and worn out. These wonderful tools do have a lifespan. Its battery may not be operating the way it used<\/strong> to; the razors may be blunt<\/strong>, and the motor may be a problem<\/strong> too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can opt to change the razor blades<\/strong> or freshen up other components, but it\u2019s not worth taking a trial-and-error strategy to determine the problem unless you have identified exactly what\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, you should just close your eyes and spend some money on a new beard trimmer<\/strong>. If your current beard trimmer had served you well for many years before it started pulling hair, you\u2019re fully aware that it\u2019s a long-term expense and worth every cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What To Do If Your Beard Trimmer Is Pulling Hair (TOPC)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a straightforward four-point strategy that you can use to make sure your beard trimmers are in optimal condition. It\u2019s called the TOPC method<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teeth<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The blades<\/strong> in your beard trimmers do get bent or broken<\/strong> after many years of use. So check whether they are presenting any issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Next up, you need to oil your beard trimmers<\/strong> and lubricate them to ensure that they can slide across each other without unnecessary friction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now you need to check the power<\/strong> of your beard trimmers. Check that it has been fully charged<\/strong> and that any plugs or cables are operating correctly.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will know that power is the issue if you can pinch the two blades together and stop them from moving while it\u2019s turned on.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once again, cleaning your beard trimmers regularly is essential<\/strong>. If your beard trimmer is packed with hair, lather, dead skin, and dirt, it should come as no surprise that it\u2019s pulling your hair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A beard trimmer can work wonders for your daily shaving routine, but far too many people get turned off by adjusting from traditional shaving<\/strong>. It takes your skin time to adapt and, if you still have an uncomfortable experience, you need to make sure you\u2019re buying good quality, maintaining it properly, using the proper shaving technique<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the TOPC technique<\/strong> to ensure that your beard trimmers are functioning properly and, if it doesn\u2019t help, there\u2019s nothing you can do other than throw this beard trimmer out and buy a new one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
