Poor haircuts and unreliable fades could soon be a thing of the past, as a new company introduces its artificial intelligence (AI) powered clippers.

Introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) inLas Vegas, GLYDE states it is the ‘world’s first intelligent hair clipper’.

The strange gadget features an AI “cutting coach” and “auto fade” technology, enabling even the least experienced barber to deliver a professional-style trim.

If you’re open to letting an algorithm handle your hair, GLYDE claims it can provide a complete haircut in less than 10 minutes.

To obtain a fresh hairstyle, individuals begin by choosing their preferred style through the application on their mobile device.

Next, an individual can easily use the clippers on their head, as the machine automatically regulates the cutting depth.

The blades operate automatically, enabling intricate cuts such as a fade to be completed in one go, requiring no prior experience or expertise.

GLYDE is so confident in its technology that it boasts the clippers can deliver a cut with ‘zero mistakes’, but would you trust AI to cut your hair?

As per GLYDE, the clipper includes internal sensors that monitor your movement and the blade’s orientation.

Onboard motors analyze this movement in relation to the haircut design, and adjust the blades automatically.

In principle, this implies that your hair should reach the perfect length, regardless of how the trimmer is positioned.

To avoid uneven cuts, the user should begin by wearing a headband that resembles a mask.

This “fade band” offers a consistent guide for the clippers, ensuring they accurately identify where the fade should start.

For anxious newcomers to the art of barbering, the GLYDE comes equipped with several features that, in theory, should prevent any mistakes.

If you abruptly alter the speed or position of the cut, the blades will pull back and stop any additional cutting.

Similarly, if GLYDE identifies that you are gripping it incorrectly or beginning the cut from an improper position, the blades will not extend at all.

To simplify matters further, the clippers include a display that provides details such as the cutting area and blade depth.

They also feature a compact bubble level indicator, ensuring you can keep them aligned and even.

At present, users are limited to selecting their trim from a collection of pre-designed styles, which GLYDE claims have been “tested on various head shapes.”

However, in the future, the company intends to let users upload their own templates and draw ideas from other users’ outcomes.

If you are especially courageous, GLYDE mentions that it might introduce features for ‘beard and body trimming’ in a future update.

As reported by The Verge, the company also intends to incorporate voice control features for the AI.

In the end, the built-in AI will have the capability to suggest individual haircuts to users and transmit them directly to the trimmers.

The company has not announced an official release date yet, but the GLYDE clippers are anticipated to begin shipping this summer, with an estimated price of £110 ($150).

GLYDE has not yet provided further details to the Daily Mail.

The scissors can be purchased directly from GLYDE’s website or through authorized online sellers.

Nevertheless, AI-enabled trimmers were not the only unusual devices showcased at CES this year.

The beauty brand L’Oreal introduced an unusual, adaptable LED face mask designed to reduce visible signs of aging by using ‘targeted red light and near-infrared light’.

In the meantime, the health company Vivoo introduced menstrual pads that can identify indicators of fertility problems or disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome.
