follow your dreams y’all
I’ve been a hermit in r&d for the last few years building Halo. @halo.braid empowers stylists to double their businesses, by finishing braids five times faster, flawlessly and gently. Each braid is started by hand, and finished by Halo.
It takes a village, and mine is filled with phenomenal people: engineers, builders, creatives, stylists. We created this technology to save time, empower stylists, transform braiding, maybe change the world.
I’m so grateful to so many people, my family, friends, partners, teachers, supporters, the entire nigerian diaspora 😭
I’m just a girl from South London who dreamt of using technology for good, making life more joyful and culture more accessible for people who look like me.
This. Is. Only. The. Beginning.

For years, my hands have been my primary language—questioning, shaping, problem-solving, and creating across every hair pattern. I have always recognized a space where my artistry, critical thinking, and craft could shape something beyond just the finished look; I never could have imagined the form it would take.
Now, applying the knowledge within my hands to engineering and innovation—and influencing not only aesthetics but also functionality, impact, and possibility—is beyond anything I envisioned.
I am proud to announce that I have joined Halo as a Creative Engineer.
This milestone is the result of unwavering consistency, relentless curiosity, and the understanding that artistry is a form of intelligence. Decades of experience working with hair, people, and potential now empower me to shape the future.
There is a significant difference between being invited to the room and searching for a seat at the table—and walking in to find your place already recognized.
But this goes even further.
I haven’t been invited just to sit at the table. I’ve been invited to question its structure, influence its design, and define who it serves next. My perspective is an essential part of the process, not an addition.
This is true meaningful collaboration.
I am exactly where I am supposed to be. Not by coincidence, but through consistency, artistry, and a steadfast conviction that the knowledge we hold belongs in shaping the future.
@halo.braid supports professional stylists by completing hand-started braids up to five times faster while matching their technique.
Thank you to the Halo team for recognizing not only my work but the potential of what we will create together.
The Art of Afro Hair isn’t standing outside the future asking to be included—it’s helping to engineer it.

After our Founder and CEO Yinka Ogunbiyi’s viral pitch from the Harvard President’s Innovation Challenge, she sat down with Edward Enninful’s @ee72 . In conversation with @afuahirsch she spoke about founding HaloBraid, bringing technology to textured hair, and reclaiming time.
“Some people are asking, why change?…But that represents thousands of hours of Black women’s time.”
