Researchers develop a mathematical understanding of detangling that could be used for textile manufacturing, robotic hairdressers — ScienceDaily

As anyone who has ever had to brush long hair knows, knots are a nightmare. But with enough experience, most learn the tricks of detangling with the least amount of pain — start at the bottom, work your way up to the scalp with short, gentle brushes, and apply detangler when necessary.

L. Mahadevan, the Lola England de Valpine Professor of Applied Mathematics, of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and of Physics, learned the mechanics of combing years ago while brushing his young daughter’s hair.

I recall that detangling spray seemed to work sometimes, but I still had to be careful to…
