  • Patent number: 4984590
    Abstract: A comb for grooming full bodied hair having a handle portion, and an elongated tooth support portion extending longitudinally from the handle portion. A first set of relatively long and widely spaced teeth extend transversely from the tooth support portion such that upon passage through hair such teeth channel the hair without substantial resistance and without adversely affecting the body of the hair. A second set of substantially shorter length of teeth are provided, which each are disposed between a pair of the teeth of the first set such that when the teeth of the second set are passed through the hair a relatively small drag is created on the hair to permit precisely controlled contouring and styling thereof.

  • Patent number: 4296765
    Abstract: A method is provided for attaching a hairpiece to the head of a recipient having some natural hair. The hairpiece has a plurality of loops about which natural hair can be secured that are disposed on the hairpiece so as to be adjacent natural hair when the hairpiece is in position. At each of a plurality of loops, a first adjacent group of natural hair is pulled through the loop and held outwardly extended from the recipient's head under controlled tension. A second adjacent group of natural hair is then held outwardly extended from the recipient's head under controlled tension in an orientation such that the two groups cross against each other over the loop and the loop is snuggly disposed against the recipient's head. A line is tied about the two groups where they cross, and a flowable adhesive is applied to the knotted line.
