PSA: let your clipper blades cool down between cuts
I was doing a full head of thick curly hair yesterday and just kept going without stopping. After like 20 minutes my clippers started pulling and snagging real bad. The barber next to me pointed out the blades were hot to the touch. I ended up having to switch to my backup set and finish with shears. Anyone else forget to take breaks on dense hair?

Keep those blades clean too, oil gets gunked up when they overheat and makes pulling worse.

That's the thing with any tool, you push it past its limit and it starts fighting back. Kinda like how a phone gets hot and slows down when you've got too many apps open at once.
