About Polygon Kibano cha Nywele
Polygon ni kibano cha nywele kilichobuniwa kwa ajili ya kupanga nywele kila siku. Umbo na mpangilio wa meno yake ni tofauti na vibano vya kawaida, hivyo kuruhusu nywele nyingi zaidi kushikwa. Umbo na mpangilio wa meno hayo yamelindwa na hataza nchini Marekani na Japani. Mkusanyiko huu umetengenezwa kwa alumini, jambo linalopunguza uzito ikilinganishwa na vibano vya awali vilivyotengenezwa kwa metali. Mwili mwepesi zaidi hubaki mahali pake kwa muda mrefu zaidi na hupunguza usumbufu unaosababishwa na vibano vizito. Umbo hilo liliundwa kwa kutumia mbinu za usanifu unaosaidiwa na kompyuta, kisha likatengenezwa kwa kutumia ukungu wa mpira na mchakato wa kumiminwa.
