What is the main function of electric clippers?

  1. To straighten hair

  2. To cut hair

  3. To curl hair

  4. To bleach hair

The correct answer is: To cut hair

The main function of electric clippers is to cut hair. These tools are designed specifically for trimming, shortening, and shaping hair with precision and efficiency. Electric clippers use sharp blades that oscillate or rotate, allowing the barber to achieve different lengths and styles as needed. The versatility of clippers makes them essential in barbering for creating clean haircuts, fades, and other styles. While straightening, curling, or bleaching hair involves different processes and tools—such as flat irons for straightening, curling irons for curling, and chemicals for bleaching—these activities do not fall under the primary function of electric clippers. Their design and operation are entirely focused on cutting hair, ensuring that barbers can deliver professional results to their clients.
