I’ve no idea how I missed noticing Flowbee (informercial)… there goes my secret invention idea! Maybe I did but conveniently have forgotten… in fact I might have actually gotten the idea from it. :rolleyes: I only discover the existence of the device now.
My design would have covered the entire head and cut hairs in different lengths, eg get layered cut etc but the same vacuum sucking hair idea. Wouldn’t it be nice to sit under something that looks like a hood dryer and get consistently perfect quick haircuts anytime and as often as you want at home without any mess (programmable/duplicate any one of your perfect haircut)? Probably little costly, even without getting anywhere near the quality cut of the $1000+ Professional Hair Shears… that my stylist showed me, but might be worth it.
I used to use the Flowbee on the boys when they were preschool and younger grade school age. It’s great for wiggly kids and good for a touch up of an overgrown haircut when there’s no time for a real haircut. People laugh but it really works quite well. It’s better for a touch up than an actual cut.
I wish I still had it. My 18 yr old needed a haircut and we were going to his grandma’s. I would have used it for a trim.
It actually sort of does, in that it cuts all the hairs to the same length. So as the hair hangs down, each one hangs x inches from its root… since its root is a different position from every other hair on your head, so its end is also at a different position.
Many years back, I worked with a woman who did her own hair that way and it actually looked cute!
Actually, britt, I used to imagine probably the same device as you, not a single tool that would sweep over the head but instead a helmet with multiple, adjustable devices that would cut you perfectly in an instant. Plus, it’s powered by electricity, not idle chitchat.
Yes.
