Issues with Hair Stacker

Recommended Posts

I am having a issue getting the hair out of my hair stacker. I tap it and when I go to remove the hair it does not come out with the brass center. What am I doing wrong?

Any help or tips would be great.

 

Thanks,

AP

Could be a number of things

1) Static electrical build-up: Wipe out with a dryer sheet

2) Too much underfur: make sure its combed out well (I like cat combs)

3) Corrosion: maybe a new stacker

4) Too much hair: New stacker or less hair

its happened to me but i just pull the hairs out by their tips or gently push on the butt ends to get them started.

 

ist not something where i would rush out and buy a different stacker.

When you are ready to remove the hair:

 

hold the stacker vertically and lift the center tube a quarter inch or so,

 

turn the stacker horizontal and slide the tube and hair out.

 

gravity holds the hair in the center tube and you can carefully grasp the hair bunch by the tips to trim it to desired length.
