A hair braiding apparatus includes a main housing having a lower portion defining a lower interior area. A rotor assembly is mounted to the lower portion of the main housing and includes a rotor motor having a plurality of rotors operatively coupled to the rotor motor. The rotor assembly includes at least a pair of orbital tracks configured to receive the plurality of rotors for movement therealong. A plurality of hair retention members are coupled to respective rotors for positioning hair to be styled. A processor is positioned in the lower portion and electrically connected to the rotors for actuating the rotors to move along the orbital tracks. A memory stores programming instructions to selectively control movement of the rotors and the platform.

A hair braiding device for automatically braiding hair includes a housing which defines an orifice that extends into the housing. A motor is mounted in the housing and is operable to rotate an output shaft of the motor alternately in a first rotational direction and a second rotational direction opposite from the first rotational direction. A braiding mechanism is operably coupled to the output shaft of the motor and is mounted in the orifice of the housing. The braiding mechanism comprises a plurality of hair couplers which are configured to move along a figure-eight path when the motor is activated.

A hair twisting device for automated twisting of strands of hair includes a housing, which defines an interior space. A motor is attached to the housing and is positioned in the interior space, with a shaft of the motor extending to proximate to an orifice that is positioned in the housing. A flywheel is attached to the shaft and is rotatable within the orifice. A plurality of couplers is attached to the flywheel, with each coupler being attachable to a respective strand of hair of a user so that each coupler is attached to a strand of hair. The plurality of couplers comprises from two to six couplers. A power module, which is attached to the housing and positioned in the interior space, selectively powers the motor so that rotation of the flywheel imparts a twist to the strands of hair that are attached to the plurality of couplers.
