  • Patent number: 5921252
    Abstract: A hair styling comb which has a conventional comb portion and from which extends a double tang assembly, the tangs are of unequal length, are normally separated and are biased to resist movement toward one another but are slidably compressed together by a sliding compression member permanently attached to the comb. The compressible tangs are used to grip portions of hair for curling. After a curl is formed, the compression member is released and the tangs are then withdrawn from the cornroll. The device is easily constructed using plastic forming techniques and provides a useful tool for forming cornrolls or other tightly rolled curls. The double tangs are enclosed by a protective cylindrical cover when the user simply wants to use the conventional comb portion.
