@DailyLoud But people be creative oo

[Eunice Ajim @euniceajim]

Before I was writing checks, I was braiding hair.

When I moved to the US as a student, braiding was how I paid my way through school. Hours in a chair, hands cramping, a full day gone for one client. I know this industry from the inside.

So when I saw that Yinka Ogunbiyi just raised $7M to commercialize HaloBraid, the world's first patented braid assist robot, I had to stop scrolling.

A few things stood out to me.

This is not a "replace the stylist" story. HaloBraid is built as a cobot. The human still parts the scalp, sections the hair and sets the foundation. The robot takes over the repetitive mid shaft weaving that eats up roughly 80% of a knotless braid appointment. Then the stylist finishes and styles the ends.

The demand is already proven. Over 7,000 salons are on the waitlist before this has even scaled.

And @sevensevensix, @alexisohanian firm, led the round, with @alley_corp and @blingcapital backing it too. Seeing investors I deeply respect put capital behind this tells me something: smart money is catching up to what millions of Black women and their braiders have known for decades. This industry is massive, physically brutal on the people who run it, and it has been overlooked for far too long.

Braiders develop carpal tunnel, arthritis and spinal strain from doing this for years. Almost nobody talks about that. A tool that cuts appointment time in half is not just a convenience play, it could add years to someone's career.

We keep hunting for disruption in the flashiest categories. Meanwhile, some of the most meaningful tech is quietly showing up in the "boring" service businesses that touch millions of people every single day.

What other "unsexy" industries do you think are next?

“There is no Messi without Ronaldo”

[KALYJAY @gyaigyimii]

When it comes to Messi vs. Ronaldo conversations, you don’t need to make logical arguments. Just stick to banter or tweet your opinion and move on, because the moment you try to have a logical conversation using facts, figures, and context, most Messi fans will eventually resort to insulting you.

You might prefer Messi because he has more league titles than Ronaldo. I prefer Ronaldo because he has won league titles in England, Spain, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.

You might prefer Messi because he has won the most Golden Boots in history. I prefer Ronaldo because he is the highest goalscorer in football history. He has also scored at least 100 goals for every club he has played for.

You might prefer Messi because he won the World Cup. I prefer Ronaldo because he won five Champions League titles with two different clubs. You need seven games to win a World Cup; you need 13 to win the Champions League. He also won it three times in a row.

You prefer the player with eight Ballon d’Or awards an award voted for by around 100 journalists worldwide. I prefer the player who won five Ballon d’Ors despite not being the media favourite.

You see? It’s all about context. It’s based on preference. You prefer a playmaker; I prefer a goalscorer who decides games.

A lot of Messi fans will insult you simply because Ronaldo is your GOAT. To save yourself the endless back and forth, either stick to bantering with them or tweet your opinion and move on. They’re not ready to see the debate from the angle some of us see it, and that’s fine.

Viva Ronaldo. 🐐

[Slay Jimmy 🦍 @slay_jimmy]

Bias aside, he was able to win the premier league & UCL 3x times in a row (two toughest competitions in football history), become football highest goal scorer and still win 5 Ballon D’ors in a system that highly favours your rival, that’s definitely a more impressive career

One thing poverty stole from a lot of people is the ability to make mistakes.

Every decision has to work.

This ref should never ref again. The amount of gullible refs he's given tonight is a joke. Probably still believes in the tooth fairy

[JJ Bull @jj_bull]

Genuine question: am I going insane? That Konsa tackle on Adu* is the most red card penalty red card foul that has ever taken place and it's like nobody is talking about it. Did I miss something

I had a lighthearted conversation with Ghana match winner 🇬🇭 Caleb Yirenkyi on how he uses the ball to find second wind, his celebration thanking God and he ends with a lovely message to Ghanaians.
