Being that we at LeMetric specialize in a broad range of hair challenges, we often work with women who live with Trichotillomania which is the habit of pulling out one’s hair. Sometimes it is a minor issue that can be addressed and abandoned once identified, but as most of us know kicking a habit is . . . 

The world’s first and largest hardware accelerator, HAX has offices in San Francisco, New York, and Shenzhen, China, to provide companies unique global end-to-end support. Notably, three HAX startups, including habit-improving wearable device Liv, were recently named “Startups to Watch” by TechCrunch.

HabitAware have made a bit of a name for themselves recently in technology news by launching the Liv bracelet. I don’t think much of the name either, but the concept is cool. This is a bracelet that is designed to stop your nasty habit, whether that’s nail biting, hair pulling or sucking your thumb.

Simply counting steps, distance, calories, and heart rate is not enough to distinguish yourself from the pack. This is where a company called HabitAware comes in with a refreshing new idea.
