Which factors should be avoided when working with clippers?

Using clippers on wet hair should be avoided for several reasons. When hair is wet, it can be more difficult for clippers to cut effectively. Wet hair tends to stick together and may not pass smoothly through the clipper blades, which can lead to uneven cuts or the clippers snagging the hair. Additionally, moisture can cause the clipper blades to rust or deteriorate over time, reducing their longevity and effectiveness.

In contrast, certain other practices may be more acceptable, such as using clippers on coarse hair where they are designed to handle different hair textures or performing bulk cutting, which is the primary function of clippers. Detail work may require the use of different tools or attachments that allow for precision, making clippers less ideal for fine detail grooming.
