Hair technology startup Halo has secured $7 million in funding to accelerate production of HaloBraid, a patent-pending device designed to help professional stylists complete braided hairstyles more efficiently while reducing the physical strain associated with the service, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based company announced on June 23. The company did not disclose the investors participating in the funding round.

The capital will support manufacturing, engineering expansion, and the commercial launch of HaloBraid, which Halo describes as the first braid-assist device developed specifically for professional braiders. According to the company, stylists begin each braid by hand before the device completes the remaining length while maintaining the stylist’s individual braiding technique. Halo said the technology can complete braids up to five times faster than traditional hand-braiding methods.
