Abstract: A hair styling device is provided for holding hair in place, particularly upsweep styles in the form of twists or French twists. The invention is particularly in the form of a comb with teeth conforming generally to the shape of the head so as to insert into an elongated twist of hair folded against the head. Separately offset arched sections on the teeth provide for insertion of a locking pin which serves to securely hold hair in place without the need for auxiliary anchors such as hairpins and clamps.

Abstract: A comb for use in creating braided hair. The inventive device includes an elongated handle member. A comb assembly is coupled to an outer end of the handle member for combing a volume of hair. An elongated pick extends orthogonally from the handle member and is spaced from the comb assembly for engaging and separating a desired volume of hair from a remainder thereof.
