Most of us have heard of Babyliss products, especially if your over 35 years of age. They were established in the early 1960's in Paris and quickly embarked on the fashion and style scene; it was the time for change and 'new beginnings' in the iconic and fashion sense. When the sixties got swinging so did Babyliss. Everyone was into vanity, their own vanity and with that comes fashion accessories, within product ranges and importantly corporate branding.
In the 1980's Babyliss re-invented themselves with yet more hair products that enveloped their already impressive brand image and huge client base regards to their own mass production of products.

The product is a standard
hair clipper package with accessories including the re-charger kit - measuring length tools - razorhead protectors - comb and scissors - cleaning kit - manual - The mandatory 1 year guarantee - adjustable leverage option.
*The information*
All Babyliss hair clippers are made of titanium chrome, that is flexible and moves with the hair follicle The clippers themselves are delicate and should not be re-assembled for those of you who like to see how the clippers are attached, unless your a professional and have the correct knowledge and tools. The rotational movement of the clippers are essential for being effective at high speed. The titanium clippers are 0.45 inches along; which are again standard. There are no dragging with this product range, if you find they are, it is faulty and therefore should be taken back.
Babyliss give you the guide to do the adjustments. This model has 8 adjustable clipper slots. No problems with the clippers being in different positions, regard to speed and performance. By being just 0.05 mm out can make a big difference to the performance and more importantly your finished cut. The more the clippers vibrate the slower the blade rotations. If, you hear a whirring noise rotation, it requires the clipper to be adjusted.
- Babyliss's soft smooth handling -
Yes it is as smooth as it gets.. A lot quieter than other brands and in return you feel more at ease while the 7052 is plowing into your hair. It really makes a difference. The narrowing of the handle allows a better grip, though during long clip sessions the hand is prone to slipping, so be aware of that when using this product.
Babyliss like many other manufacturers have this adjustable lever to just the left of the clippers. It is standard to have the 5 adjustable points/positions that gives that more professional finish to your hair cut.
-*High Quality* Comb and scissors -
You have a 8 combs these are very easy to clip on to your clippers. Their is a knack to the click on, slid the clipper to the titanium teeth first before clipping the back. The comb range is 3mm - 25mm in length. The lengths determine the length and choice you want to your hair finish. For those who rather have no length; no clippers are required and the clippers cut down to your scalp, leaving about 1 mm, on average depending how many times you move the clippers around your head. I recommend about two times just in case any stray hairs get missed. The scissors are the professional kind and that is vital. The sharper they are the better. Scissors are Babyliss branding also.
-Cleaning brush-
This item in the package is probably the most important. Yep, it is amazing by just cleaning the left over hair from the clippers can make a huge difference to clipper performance. The brush needs to clean out the clippers after every use, otherwise over a period of time the hair will damage the titanium/chrome mechanism. It is also to note that any products that are on your hair at the time will also be a problem to the clippers mechanism (Chrome) It does make good sense to wash your hair before use of this product. Dry your hair fully, untill bone dry so no products are obvious on your hair. I usually have wax styled on my hair so this is quite important to remember.
- The re-chargeble kit - This is the same thing. What I have found is that the mains lead can be a problem when cutting hair as it does tend to drape unwantingly around your neck. What is welcoming is to leave the mains on attached to the Babyliss itself and wait for 30 minutes before any cutting takes place. This allows enough time for the Babyliss to re-charge and you then can work around your head cordless and without strangling yourself. For beginners who are not too confident. It is best that you use the mains cord attached to the Babyliss, otherwise the battery life will run out and the clipper rotation will slow up and therefore won't be such a good cut. The average battery life is about 35 minutes before the clippers noticeably slow-up. -Razor/blade head protectors- Razor/blade head protectors work as a glove to the head of the Babyliss. They should fit snuggly on the head, this is to protect the clipper mechanism. The teeth are prone to getting caught up and can twist and get damaged easily. Be aware of where you store your hair clippers. Do not leave in direct sunlight or in any unusually hot places. One last thing to know is that by using the mains for too long the Babyliss will overheat, so don't leave it without supervision.
*My experience*
I've had many Babyliss clipping brands, and it helps that my cousin is a hairdresser; but this brand is cheaper and in my opinion has the best all round for weight and performance. You know what they say, if you feel good, you look good. It is great for confidence, and worth spending that little more time over yourself.
