A robotics startup named HaloBraid launched this week to develop tools that reduce the time required for hair braiding. @techcrunch reported that the company's first device will serve as an assistant for professional stylists and is set to launch later this year. Hair braiding has been performed manually for thousands of years.
The process can take up to 12 hours at a stretch as a stylist weaves patterns into a customer's hair, according to the report. HaloBraid developed the device after years of research aimed at cutting the duration of the task. The startup positions the product as support equipment rather than a full replacement for human stylists.
