What Is Hair Trimmer Oil?

Hair cuts with trimmers? Be sure to have trimmer oil!

Hair trimmer oil is a lubricant used on the blades to maintain the quality and performance of clippers.

Why

Wahl, a company that produces clippers, trimmers and many other hair care accessories recommends regular use of clipper oil on the tool to help to prolong blade life and cutting precision.

When to Use

Apply the lubricating oil when the blade is clean. It is important to remember to use oil after each and every cleansing routine to ensure the blade's performance.

Where to Use

Hair trimmer oil can be applied directly onto the blade. Be sure to slide blade back and forth to guarantee every part is well lubricated and thoroughly cleaned of excess debris.

Brands

Wahl and Oster are two leading brands of professional hair trimmers and clippers. Each company manufactures its own lubricating oil that can be purchased at any local beauty supply store.

Additional Tips

To avoid a mess, be sure to remove all hair from the trimmer as well as the teeth of the blade before using any hair trimmer oil.
