With a few weeks into the stay-at-home order in place, by now, your hair will start to look shaggy, unkempt, and a bit life-less. And with the slim chance of you being able to access your hairstylist, you will have to resort to cutting hair at home.
Drastic times require drastic hair-measures.
But, before you get down to business, you are going to need high-quality hair clippers, that can give you a quality trimming and not cut a hole in your pocket. Here is our buying guide for the best haircut clippers in Australia for cutting hair at home.

2 - BabylissPRO Gold FX Lithium Clipper
Looking for something more premium? Well, here is the Babyliss Gold Fx - the premium clipper.

The Babyliss Gold FX offer features that all the best haircut clippers in Australia lack, and we are not referring to the gorgeous glossy gold finish. The clipper has a 360-degree exposed blade for all-around visibility when cutting hair at home. But what is also unique with the design is that you can adjust the blade without removing it. Babyliss has included the zero-gap assist tool that can push the blade forward for an even closer cut.

3 - Wahl Sterling 4 Clipper
Another one from Wahl Professional’s grade line of products. Wahl Sterling 4 is the all-in-one clipper, working great for everything from textured cuts to high fades.
The heavy-duty corded clipper is purposed for heavy use and is often seen at barbershops and salons. The sterling 4 features a rustproof design with chrome-plated blades. It even has a thumb lever on the side to quickly make adjustments for the blade when working on the fade.
All in all, the Sterling 4 is a robust clipper, offering close, precise cutting, and with a premium feel in hand, but with a not so premium price tag. If you are looking for a trimmer to use that looks and feels as good as the job it does, then Sterling 4 is the option for you, even if you are cutting hair at home.

4 - Andis US Pro Li Cordless Clipper
A smaller, handier tool for smaller jobs, but what the Andis US Pro Li lacks in size, it delivers in precision.
The US Pro Li is excellent for all-around cutting. You can easily get 2 hours of clipper use from about 90 minutes of charging. Like its cousins, it also offers the adjustable blade, going from 000 to 1, and brings the same level of versatility on the table. But compared to them, it has a smaller form factor and weighs less than ten ounces.
When it comes to cutting hair at home, you can make the US Pro Li a part of your utility belt, and you will never find yourself in a hairy situation.

-- Light weight -- Cordless |
-- Maybe a little noisy -- Small size may not be for everyone |
