Larry Ludlow might not be completely bald, but if he ever wanted to sport Moe’s haircut, this robot is his ticket. Restoration Robotics of Mountain View, a California-based company, has created a robot that has the ability to perform hair transplant surgery quicker and less painfully than doctors.

Once it’s plucked enough hair from your head using a hollow needle that just plain sucks, the robot begins to “plant” the follicles in the patient’s head. And to add the cherry on top: the robot has the ability to design the perfect hairline for a patient in which doctors scratch their heads and say, “What the hell would this ‘baldie’ look like with hair?”

If male haircare had a placebo pill, the X5 Hairlaser would be it. While we don’t have any scientific proof to back up that the laser is just some gimmick, the X5’s descriptive method of  blasting, “15 distinct points of coherent laser light directly to your scalp at the optimum power and wavelength,” sounds like a quote straight from an Ed Wood film.

If you’ve tried other methods, and are still losing more and more hair, and really don’t want to wear a wig or look like Britney Spears, then we guess you’re desperate enough to try out anything, and the X5 Hairlaser could very unlikely be the one that works for you. Get yours for the price of $300. — Andrew Dobrow

The good thing about using electric hair trimmers over traditional scissors would be speed, the problem is the edge is usually unnaturally smooth, giving you the Gwen Stefani mushroom-look. So most people, invariably would need a combination of both: a pair of convex-edged scissors as well as the electrical shaver. Matsushita (National branded) has ended this hassle today with their new electric hair trimmer (or personal groomer, as they call it), what it does is that the blade randomly selects the fine threads of hair to cut, and leaving some untouched, simulating how the barber clutch a bit of your hair and cut it with the convex-edged scissors. The trimmer is also waterproof, so you can flush it under the tap. There’s also a style-guide that comes with the kit, should you pick it up in Japan in March, for $80. — Sam Chan
