Eyebrow Trimming (Reciprocating Head)

For eyebrow trimming, use one of the reciprocating heads. Gently comb your eyebrows into place. Carefully guide the trimmer along the desired line to remove stray hairs. For shaping, use the narrower reciprocating head. For general trimming, the wider head may be used. Always trim against the direction of hair growth for best results.

Rinse the head under running water to remove hair clippings. Allow the head to air dry completely before reattaching or storing. Do not rinse the main trimmer body.
2. Storage: Store the trimmer and its accessories in a dry place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures. Always place the protective cap over the trimming head when not in use.
