Abstract
A hair styling device for styling curly or wavy hair. The hair styling device includes a body and a plurality of tines extending from a proximate end of the body, wherein each of the plurality of tines have a same length as measured from a proximal end to an opposing distal end of a tine. The tines are rigid and non-flexible to facilitate the manipulation and styling of curly hair. In some embodiments, the tines are angled such that the proximal end of the tine extends from a first side of the body and the distal end of the tine is disposed on a second side of the body, wherein the first side and second side are opposite one another. In other embodiments, the tines include an arcuate configuration. The configuration of the tines allows for various manipulation of hair to provide differently styled curls or wavy features.
Claims12
A hair styling device, comprising:
- a body having a proximate end and an opposing distal end, and a planar front face perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body;
- a plurality of tines extending from the planar front face disposed at the proximate end of the body in a substantially annular configuration;
- wherein each of the plurality of tines comprise a same length as measured from a proximal end to an opposing distal end of the tine;
- wherein the distal end of each tine extends inward towards an exterior perimeter of an opposing side of the body and at an angle offset from the longitudinal axis, such that a pair of adjacent tines of the plurality of tines cross one another;
- wherein the planar front face is fixed and nonrotatable relative to the body;
- wherein the plurality of tines are configured to engage with hair and lift the hair away from a head of a user by rotating the handle about the longitudinal axis in a first direction to wrap the hair against two or more tines of the plurality of tines;
- wherein the plurality of tines are configured to release the hair from the two or more tines of the plurality of tines by rotating the handle about the longitudinal axis in a second direction, wherein the first direction is opposite the second direction;
- wherein each tine is rigid and non-flexible.
