In which scenario should clippers not be used?

Clippers should not generally be used on wet hair due to a few key reasons. Wet hair can be more challenging to cut accurately with clippers because it tends to cling together or lay flat, which can interfere with the effectiveness of the clipper's blades. This can lead to uneven cutting and potentially diminish the precision of the haircut.

Additionally, using clippers on wet hair can increase the risk of blunt blades causing pulling or snagging, which can be uncomfortable for the client and result in an undesirable outcome. For a clean and effective cut, it's typically recommended to use clippers on dry hair, where the texture is more distinct and manageable.

In scenarios like styling short hair or blending hair colors, clippers have their specific uses and can be beneficial, especially when dry hair is being worked on. However, the caution against using clippers on wet hair highlights the importance of preparing the hair appropriately for best results.
