1. A hair braiding apparatus, comprising:
a main housing having a lower portion that includes wall structures defining a lower interior area; a rotor assembly mounted to said lower portion, said rotor assembly having a rotor motor positioned in said interior area of said lower interior area and a plurality of rotors in operative communication with said rotor motor and extending upwardly; a pair of orbital tracks situated atop said lower portion that are configured to receive respective rotors of said plurality of rotors; a plurality of hair retention members coupled to respective rotors, each retention member extending upwardly and defining a hair retention compartment having an open top capable of receiving a strand of hair into said hair retention compartment; a processor situated in said lower portion of said main housing and electrically connected said rotor motor; a memory electrically connected to said processor and configured to store programming instructions related to controlling movements of said plurality of rotors along said orbital tracks; wherein said processor, upon execution of respective programming instructions, is configured to energize said rotor motor to move said plurality of rotors along said pair of orbital tracks so as to style the strands of hair in said hair retention members; wherein said main housing includes an upper portion extending upwardly from said lower portion and defining an upper interior area, said hair braiding apparatus further comprising:
a platform motor positioned in said upper portion and electrically connected to said processor;a worm gear situated in said upper portion and having a lower end operatively coupled to said platform motor and having an opposed upper end;a platform housing mounted on a front side of said upper portion and coupled to said worm gear, said platform housing configured to move incrementally downwardly along said worm gear when said platform motor is energized. |
