Now, this does require that you begin with a good cut, but
once you've got it you can keep it forever.
Imagine a free-standing cone shaped unit that you place
over
your well shorn head. It would use mild suction to draw
your
hair straight up. a computer chip would optically scan your
now
straight hair and store the info.
When you feel it's time for a trim, put your head back in,
turn
on the suction, select "Cut" from the menu and the device
will
slowly move into your desired cut's position—cutting all the
way.
As styles change, you can store other new cuts or have the
whole family's cuts stored.

Sorry Steve, I didn't make the "standing up" part clear.
The suction would cause your hair (straight or curly) to
stand up for either scanning or cutting. Wouldn't this be
the ideal way to get a true duplication of the original cut?
No matter what, the hair cut woul be a dead-on copy of
your favorite cut when the suction is removed. |

Digitizing my head on my best hair day--Hmm, I like. It has a certain Max Headroom quality about it... |

Does one sit in the corner with cone on head? |
|
| |
<-- In the last anno on the Auto-barber link, I suggested suction for measuring and cutting. |
|

// have the whole family's cuts stored. // |
|
| |
And twins can easily confuse the world by swapping haircuts in a few seconds. Neat. |
|
| |
You can't really do the sides this way. |
|
| |
I'm absolutely certain sure I've seen this exact idea here before. Maybe it got deleted by accident/someone running away? |
|
| |
Surely this should be a "perfect haircut replicator". |
|
| |
Croissant though, I've been trying for years to replicate the haircut I had in the summer of '98. Boy, was that a great haircut....<sigh>....halcyon days. |

better than paisley pattern baldness, bliss. <she says shaking her long tousled wavy & beautifully coiffed mane> |

About to post AppCut when I came across this. |
|
| |
As has been pointed out, a straight-up vacuum
will
not work well for the near-vertical sides of the
head. |
|
| |
What's needed is some way of making all of the
hair stand out orthogonally. The solution, as
with
so many things in life, is Very High Voltage. |
|
| |
The MaxCo. Wimshurst OrthoClip haircutter will
not only ensure that the hair achieves scalp-
wide
orthogonality, but as a bonus, the trimming is
done by a simple discharge electrode which
simultaneously vaporizes the excess hair and
seals
the ends - no more split ends, no more loss of
vital orgone energy through cut hair termini. |
|
| |
An interesting side-effect of these systems is
that, if the haircutting chamber were wide
enough, you could create a perfect haircut, but
offset by half an inch from your head. This
would
provide much amusement, especially if
extended
to encompass moustaches (or, for the men,
moustache plus beard). |
|
| |
Equally, the software could be used in a similar
way to Photoshop. You could copy-'n'-paste an
Elvis on the front, and maybe a Justin Beeper
on the back. |
