Oiling and cleaning your hairdressing scissors:
It is extremely important to keep your scissors oiled at all times. However a special oil must be used as ordinary oils are normally made from petroleum and is thereby made up of long and short chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms, and under certain conditions the short-chain molecules evaporate, and the unstable molecules oxidize and break down. This leaves a very sticky residue which will actually “gum up” the scissors. Ordinary oils also contain impurities such as sulfur, waxes, and unstable hydrocarbons which are left behind as residue deposits. This will make your scissors almost impossible to work with.
In contrast, our scissor oil is made using a process that re-arranges the structure so all the molecules are uniform in size, shape, and weight. Our scissor oil is custom-designed to produce the ultimate lubricant for scissors.
Yamamoto scissor oil is completely odorless and maintains its molecular structure to over 180 degree Celsius with no evaporation or breakdown, and hence no smell or residue. The bottle is made from LDPE and is soft to use. The high quality stainless steel dispensing needle lets you lubricate your scissors precisely. The needle utilizes the patented Luer Lock which is used on pharmaceutical supplies and is of highest quality. It also has a leak-proof tip cover which covers the tip of the needle between uses.
