UPDATE AUG 2023: I have now had 3 of these stop charging without any visible damage. Replacements have been quick and easy, but I must recommend against purchasing this product.
Since many of us are currently putting our travel plans on hold, this is an excellent opportunity to buy equipment that can be used both at home and abroad. A hair trimmer is an excellent place to start since hairdressers are closed in some places.
In The Box
The Xiaomi Enchen Hair Trimmer is packaged in a plain cardboard box containing;
- The Trimmer;
- USB-C charging cable;

A Modern Design
The Xiaomi hair clipper has a simple design. In fact, it reminds me of those large, cumbersome hair clippers from the past. However, the visual style gives it a modern, chic appearance. It weighs only 142 grammes, which is fairly light. With measurements of 43 x 164 mm, this Xiaomi hair clipper is among the most portable trimmers available.
- Black and white are the two available colours for the Xiaomi Enchen Boost Hair Trimmer. White has a smooth texture as well as an exquisite glossy appearance. The device is composed entirely of excellent components. The ABS material used for the exterior is highly dependable and robust.
- There are two LED indicators and a power button on the Xiaomi hair clipper’s face side. The Enchen Logo, which is a crucial indicator of authenticity given the prevalence of fakes, is located close to the head of the gadget. The Xiaomi Youpin Ecosystem includes Enchen.
- You may discover some technical information and a button to operate the hair guard/comb behind the trimmer. This guard serves as a measuring tool as well. With the one button-hair lock method, the Xiaomi Enchen has made it incredibly simple for their consumers, unlike most hair clippers that require a separate measurement guard that you instal on. something we’ll discuss later.
- There are measuring markers from 3 to 21 next to the button. In essence, this implies that you may trim hair between 0.7 and 21 mm. The hair comb’s flexible tips are really helpful for avoiding damage.
- There is a straightforward charging port on the base. This port is designed exclusively to accept type-C cables. So, as opposed to other trimmers, you can really charge it from a power bank.
The head of the Xiaomi Enchen hair trimmer is made of a nano-ceramic material that is 1.6 times more durable than stainless steel, ensuring a long-lasting, high-quality cut. The edges are rounded to prevent injuries, and the ceramic cutter head makes the trimmer much quieter than other steel clippers, emitting only 55 db of noise.
How To Use The XiaoMi ENCHEN
Using the Xiaomi Enchen hair trimmer is straightforward. First, charge the device and then flip it over to choose the desired length of hair you want to cut using the button on the positioning comb.

To begin cutting, place the trimmer on the subject’s hair and gently glide it through. You don’t need to apply much pressure unless you are going for a shorter cut. You can also change the speed of the trimmer by long-pressing the button to activate the Turbo mode, which is useful for thick hair. You can also adjust the position of the comb as needed.
