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.
