Abstract: An apparatus for facilitating the unbraiding process comprising a handle, a lubricating container, a comb, and a brush integral with said handle, said parts forming a sequence on the axis of the apparatus in the order as listed above. To unbraid several parallel braids, the apparatus is placed over said parallel braids with its axis parallel to the braids and said comb and brush touching braided hair. Then lubricant is applied and said handle is pressed to cause sufficient penetration of teeth of said comb into hair. Then the apparatus is pulled along said braids causing their unbraiding under the pressure of said teeth with subsequent brushing of unbraided portion of hair, and repeating said process either periodically with interruptions for adjusting the initial vertical or horizontal position of the handle until the unbraided hair condition becomes acceptable.
