After cutting hair the ends are sharp.

A small rotary sanding device gently abrades the sharp cut ends of the hairs making then nicely round.

Could be a stand-alone device, or could be integrated into or retro-fitted to hair clippers.

Presumably would need a guard comb to stop it gently abrading skin.

Shape first with P2500 (42/325) and then use P10,000 for fine end finishing.

Ha! I always wondered why human hair wasn't as soft compared to various animal furs. Then all my hair fell out, then it grew back and it was all soft and fur-like. Until the next haircut, since then it's regular. So, the ends do make a difference! The device would need to hold the hair quite carefully, hair is quite tough and flexible. Maybe it could be achieved thermally?

With burnie sanders?

Of you could wash it and then use a leave-in hair conditioner. It softens hair. It's been around since the time of the Flintstones, or before. I mean the REAL Flintstones. (uh-oh, Grammarly is saying this comment has an angry tone, so I'm gonna sweeten it up some...okay dear heart???)

Dear [blissmiss], by a country mile you are the least angry poster on this forum. At least, that's how it comes across.
