The invention comprises an upper shield member to protect the upper portion of the user's finger, a lower shield member to protect the lower portion of the user's finger and the upper area of either the back side or the palm side of the user's hand and a flexible interconnecting member to interconnect the upper and lower shield members. Preferably, the shield members are made from a strong, lightweight material, such as plastic, and the flexible interconnecting member is made from a lightweight, stretchy and breathable material, such as elastic mesh fabric. The shield members are in spaced apart relation and attached to the interconnecting member so as to prevent the hair from being caught therein.
