Abstract: An apparatus to separate hair into units of three for braiding, producing several such units in one application. The preferred embodiment comprises a platform having an upper shelf and an anchor. The anchor has comb-like teeth for fixing the device to the hair of the subject. The upper shelf prevents tangling of unbraided hair above the device. A blade, fixed perpendicularly to the platform, has a plurality of teeth separated by notches of alternating depths, which receive strands of hair. A lower shelf affixed at an angle acts as a support for the separated hair strands and prevents tangling. The upper and lower shelves are made removable. The width between braids may be varied by providing teeth of different widths on the upper shelf.

Abstract: A device for pulling segments of hair through a thin plastic highlighting grid that is placed upon a person's head includes an elongated body having a longitudinal axis. A plurality of pick elements extend from the elongated body. Each of the pick elements has a hook is formed at a first end. Each of the pick elements is spaced apart by a distance sufficient to enable a person's fingers to pass in between the pick elements when gripping the elongated body. In the method of use of the device, a highlighting grid is placed over a person's head of hair. The highlighting grid contains individual grid blocks printed thereon. The pick elements are used to simultaneously pierce a plurality of grid blocks on the highlighting grid. The pick elements pass through the highlighting grid and engage segments of hair on the head of hair. As the pick elements are simultaneously retracted back through the highlighting grid, each of the pick elements pulls a segment of hair through the highlighting grid.

Abstract: A combination comb, brush, and teaser apparatus includes a first teeth holder which extends along a longitudinal axis. A plurality of first teeth project out from the first teeth holder in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. A first handle portion is connected to the first teeth holder along the longitudinal axis, and a plurality of second teeth project out from the first handle portion in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The first handle portion includes a concave top side and a concave bottom side. Each of the first teeth tapers down from a teeth holder end to a free end. The free end is rounded. The first teeth are arranged in first teeth rows which are registrable with one another and second teeth rows which are registrable with one another, and wherein teeth in the first teeth rows are staggered with respect to teeth in the second teeth rows. There are two of the first teeth rows and two of the second teeth rows.

Abstract: According to a hair lifting comb of the present invention, a plurality of teeth, which are as thick as a bar-shaped supporting member and which at their distal ends are shaped like birds' beaks, are attached to the supporting member, as are side members of the comb, each of which is constituted by a first frame member, a second frame member and a third frame member. The thus structured comb, which maintains the supporting member at a maximum height of 18 mm from the scalp, is inserted into hair at the hairline and moved toward the rear of the head to lift the hair to a predetermined height.

Abstract: An apparatus to separate hair into units of three for braiding, producing several such units in one application, comprises a handle and a platform affixed thereto having an upper shelf and anchor. The anchor has comb-like teeth for fixing the device to the hair of the subject. The upper shelf prevents tangling of unbraided hair above the device. A blade fixed perperdicularly to the platform has a plurality of teeth separated by notches of alternating depths which receive strands of hair. A lower shelf affixed at an angle to the blade acts as a support for the separated hair strands and prevents tangling. The width between braids may be varied by providing teeth of different widths on the blade.

Abstract: A hairdressing comb comprises a series of hair lifting teeth each having a barb or hook-like formation at the end thereof, and, between each adjacent pair of hair lifting teeth, one or more plain comb teeth. The comb forms part of a hairdressing kit 30 for use in the foil highlighting of hair. The kit further comprises a former and a tray. The former facilitates the cutting of a sheet of metal foil into strips of equal width which fit in the tray.

Abstract: A comb for selectively separating strands of hair for individual treatment includes an elongated base and a plurality of teeth positioned at spaced-apart locations along the length of the base. Each tooth includes a shaft which extends outwardly from the base to a free end. The teeth include a hair-engaging portion at the free end of a shaft which is substantially linearly straight and smooth from the base to the hair-engaging portion. The hair-engaging portion is positioned to engage only selected strands of hair while allowing non-selected strands to fall freely from between the teeth as the comb is lifted, moving the teeth in a direction toward the base through the lock of hair. Each hair-engaging portion includes a tine member which extends outwardly from the shaft to define a substantially open hook throat. Each tine member is on a common side of each tooth so that the selected strands may be released from each hook throat by a single longitudinal movement of the base.

Abstract: The present hair weaving comb for rapidly and evenly separating hair for highlighting and the like includes a set of legs extending from an elongate support member. Distal end portions of the legs include hair separating teeth for separating a section of hair into sub-sections. When the legs of the comb are initially inserted into a section of hair, the teeth create sub-sections of hair. When the legs are further inserted in the section of hair, the teeth group and displace alternate hair sub-sections away from other alternate hair sub-sections. The other alternate hair sub-sections are bypassed by the teeth and slide into hair-receiving slots formed between the spaced-apart legs of the hair weaving comb. When the legs are still further inserted through the hair section, the displaced hair sub-sections are pushed out of a hairstylists's hand and readily fall out of the teeth of the distal end of the comb and down to the head of the customer.

Abstract: A combined shredding and grooming comb formed of an elongated strip of plastic, having one edge provided with uniform V-shaped teeth and a second edge with uniformly straight shaped parallel teeth. The plastic strip terminates at each end with a handle member capable of mating and interlocking with each other to form a complete handle assembly whereby the strip may be bent into a closed loop tear-drop shape for use and whereby either set of teeth may be presented to the animal fur for shedding and combing the same.
