Questions about personal care

Can I use the clipper while it's charging?

Yes, both of them. The T-287 is full in about 2 hours and then runs for up to 2 hours. The VGR charges in about 75 minutes for up to 100 minutes of trimming. Both charge over USB.

What water goes in a steam straightener?

Only use distilled water in the SteamPlus. Tap water or mineral water can clog the device. You fill the SteamFlow's tank with the included tube.

How do you clean the VGR clipper?

Rinse the blades under the tap and brush away loose hairs with the included brush. The titanium blades have a ceramic coating and stay sharp for a long time.

Does the steam straightener switch itself off?

The SteamFlow Pro Styler does: after an hour without use it switches off, and it has overheating protection. The SteamPlus has a temperature lock, so the temperature you set doesn't jump.

Which clipper suits you?

  • Trendwares T-287: a hair and beard trimmer in one. The 0.1 mm blade gives sharp lines and also works for a clean shave and designs in your hair. With 4 guards you trim up to 9 mm. After about 2 hours of charging it runs for up to 2 hours.
  • VGR clipper: for head and beard. The 5 guide combs set the length from 1 to 5 mm. You can also shave your head with it. After about 75 minutes of charging you trim for up to 100 minutes. An LED indicator shows how much battery is left.

In short: for precise lines and edges, choose the T-287. If you mainly want to keep short hair and your beard at a set length, the VGR is the better fit. Both have a quiet motor and also work while plugged into the charger.

How does a steam straightener work?

A steam straightener has a small water tank. While you style, it releases steam that keeps your hair supple as you draw it through the plates. The heat spreads evenly across ceramic plates with ion technology. On the SteamPlus these plates are extra wide. The SteamFlow has floating plates and a 2.5-metre swivel cord, and you can use it for curls or waves too.

Which temperature should you choose?

That depends on your hair. Choose a higher temperature for thick hair and a lower one for fine hair. You set the SteamPlus between 180 and 230 °C, the SteamFlow between 150 and 235 °C. Both have a display. The temperature lock or button lock keeps you from changing the setting by accident while styling. The SteamFlow also has a memory function.

What else should you look out for?

  • Water: only fill the SteamPlus with distilled water.
  • Switching off: the SteamFlow switches itself off after an hour without use and has overheating protection.
  • Colour: the SteamPlus comes in white and black.
