Cleaning and Oiling Hairdressing Scissors
After cutting hair, scissors accumulate hair, dust, and skin oils.
Therefore, the tool should be cleaned regularly.
Wash the scissors in warm soapy water and remove all dirt.
After disinfection, обязательно rinse them under running water.
Then carefully dry the scissors with a soft cloth, avoiding contact with the cutting edge.
If necessary, the tool can be additionally dried with a hair dryer.
Professional scissors should be properly lubricated.
After cleaning, apply a small drop of special oil to the pivot, screw, and inner surfaces of the blades.
Open and close the scissors several times — the oil will distribute evenly and protect the mechanism from corrosion.
Also, periodically remove the rubber rings from the handles and clean them from hair and dirt.
It is also important to properly adjust the tension of the scissors.
