Hair pulls. Help Please!!!! PS…Hey Buford!!! I used to live on Hog Mtn before there was anything!!! I now live in Louisville GA south of Augusta.
First, have you oiled the blades? If not, give that a shot. Lubricating the blades will loosen them up and allow them to run smoother and faster.
Just use the oil not the grease that came with your clippers. Unfortunately, there have been a rash of blades from all manufacturers that are not cutting coming out of the packages. It could also be a clipper problem. What would you suggest? Hi, this is Jim. The original blades cut too short so I purchased new a 3 blade from them. When putting your information into my notebook for future sharpening use I noticed that your phone address on you website is different that that on your sharpening invoice.
Is that procedure done by another company? I liked your response to Karen asking her to call you. A personal touch. Glad that you got your blade working properly!
Box , Buford GA If you want to mail us something, then please use the P. Hope this clears things up! Just got oster a6 pro care clippers in today, started on my standard poodle worked about 30 minutes and then started pulling. The reason I bought these clippers is because my a5 did the same thing, that set of clippers was about 2 yrs old so I thought maybe they were worn out.
So I thought I was upgrading to an a6 that would do better. So now I think something fishy is going on with the oster products. I oiled my blades and everything and still pulling. Please help!!! Would you be able to call me at the shop? Our number is I think I can help, but it will be better if we can actually talk. I have spent many hours watching you tube videos on how to fix my clippers with zero change. It was a pleasure speaking to you.
Both Wahl and the place where you purchased those clippers know that they are not designed for dogs. I just wish we could have done more for you. I have a Wahl Bravura clipper for my Goldendoodle. I use a long attachment — 23mm or 25mm — about 1 inch. When I am running the attachment through his fur, the whole metal blades section separates from the main clipper body and lands on the floor.
This happens constantly — no matter how gentle or careful I try to be. The attachment will get stuck, and as soon as I try to work it through — again, gently, not using force, the metal blades piece pops away from the clipper main body.
To add insult to injury, the 25mm attachment broke when it hit the floor. This is really upsetting as I just bought a new attachment set with the metal blades, and this was the first time I used them. How cheap they must be made to break when being dropped from a height of about 18 inches.
Would really like to get some advice. The blade has three pieces that fit into the clipper to hold the blade in place. Two of the pieces are parallel and look like hooks about halfway down the back of the blade. The third piece is a small tab at the bottom of the blade. If any of these has broken off, the blade will not stay attached to the clipper when it comes in contact with resistance. These pieces can be replaced during a sharpening. Rather than the pulling, it is the cutting of a pulled hair that poses the most risk.
The first blade on your trimmer tugs on the hair and the subsequent blades cut the hair. Since the hair was being tugged, it was being pulled more out of the skin so that when the second blade made the cut, it was cutting below the surface of the skin. This might not seem important, but it is. The problem is that now the hair needs to grow back from fully under the surface of the skin, and this makes it many times more likely that the hair becomes ingrown.
Ingrown hairs cause acne, irritation and, in the worst cases, infection. This last one can become a major health risk if it is not treated properly.
You must make regular cleaning a lubrication a habit of yours if you are using an electric trimmer. Some trimmers can be cleaned with a little bit of soapy water, although it is important to be careful not to get the electronic pieces of the inside wet.
Other trimmers will require you to remove the head and soak it in water for a few minutes. Lubrication is important too, as a lubricated trimmer is less likely to pull on your hairs. Most electric trimmers come with a small bottle of oil. Squeeze out a drop or two on the blades to keep it running smoothly.
Since this oil runs out rather quickly, you may want to consider purchasing a second bottle. For more information on cleaning and maintaining your electric trimmer, check out this article. Beard oil is made from a carrier oil in combination with one or several essential oils. While beard oil technically fits this description, it is better to use a singular type of oil rather than a combination of several.
If you have run out of trimmer oil, you can make do by using vegetable oil or olive oil. Why is temperature important? The blades on the trimmer move quickly, and this causes them to get quite hot. Remember, if a trimmer is pulling your hair, it means that either your technique or your trimmer is wrong.

The design makes it hard to damage the electronic components when washing. This Wahl trimmer is a cheaper option and a little harder to clean, but it comes with tons of options for heads to customize your shave and give you unlimited styling options.
While it is common for a trimmer to pull your hair, it is always a sign that something is wrong with it. Remember to apply the T. Seven times out of ten, this will fix it.
Two times out of ten, the problem is with your technique.
