There is provided a computer-implemented method for generating an optimized hairstyle guide for use with a hair clipper. The method comprises acquiring () a plurality of reference points for mapping a hairstyle onto the head of a subject, receiving () a first user input for adjusting at least one of the relative position and the hair length value of a selected reference point, adjusting (), based on the first user input and one or more predetermined rules, at least one of the relative position and the hair length value of one or more non-selected reference points, and generating () an optimized hairstyle guide for mapping the hairstyle.

Apparatus and method for optimized hairstyle guide generation

A method of operating an automated hair processing system () and the automated hair processing system (), comprising a portable hand-held hair processing appliance, a hair processing unit arranged at the appliance, and a position monitoring arrangement (), the arrangement comprising a plurality of position sensors () arranged to be attached to a subject () whose hair is to be processed, a transmitter () that is operatively coupled with at least two position sensors () of the plurality of position sensors (), and a position controller () that is arranged to detect a relative orientation between the at least two position sensors () of the plurality of position sensors () attached to the subject whose hair, and that signals a misorientation state.
