Nigerian-American engineer Yinka Ogunbiyi has unveiled HaloBraid, a robotic device designed to assist professional hairstylists with braiding.

In the video, the sleek machine is shown working alongside a stylist in a modern salon. The stylist starts each braid by hand, then feeds the hair into the device. HaloBraid takes over the repetitive weaving process and completes the braid much faster, while the stylist finishes and seals the ends.

According to the company, the device can finish individual braids up to five times faster than doing it fully by hand. It is designed to work with the stylist rather than replace them, helping reduce the long hours and physical strain that come with professional braiding.

The invention has already attracted strong interest, with thousands of salons on the waiting list as the company prepares for its commercial rollout.

Is like a 3D printer. Just input the parameters and design the hair style and feed into the computer

Very easy something

Where can I buy this? Time to treat my afro to some nice braids

You no lie o. Area boys go sell am to iron condemned,use the money smoke weed

When will they invent AI politicians?....the ones that won't have kleptomaniac tendencies

This is good still,
It won’t take food from the mouth of women braiding by the street. Y’all chill.

It’s will literally make braiding faster but with the videos I’ve seen, a stylist is needed to map out and section the hair, attach the artificial hair to the natural hair and feed it to the machine.

It’s means,
1. those that makes extremely long hair can get it done in a shorter time
2. Stylist can attend to more people per day
3. No more inconsistencies in the braids caused by fatigue
4. You can use less staff as compared to achieve more results

The most important question on our lips not answered. How much?

The report up there stated that the device is designed to work with the professional braiders and not to replace them.

Ha! How can this be AI? You guys need to catch up, o. The operation is practically demonstrated in the video. Or did you probably not watch the video?😅😅

A brilliant piece of engineering – undeniably advanced!

The beauty of this is that more males will venture into braids without training sef. Na just to buy and install Robots and software. Shikena.
