The idea
Braiding and unbraiding is time-intensive and hard on the hands. Unbraid explores how a physical tool, paired with software, could make the process faster and gentler.
The build
A product site and concept for a hardware-meets-software system rooted in everyday Black hair care, combining a physical device with a companion experience.
The thinking
The most experimental thing in the set: a genuine hardware bet, designed around a real and underserved daily need.
