Abstract
The technology described herein provides systems and methods for combing, drying, and straightening hair with a device having one or more rows of teeth. Additionally, this technology provides for an adjustable tension mechanism that provides for the compression of hair, thus wringing it of water and providing the ability for a user to also straighten his or her hair. Furthermore, this technology provides for combing, drying, and straightening hair without utilizing an electric or heating means.
Claims20
An adjustable hair combing, drying, and straightening device utilizing at least two adjacent rows of comb teeth, the device comprising:
- a first row of comb teeth disposed upon a comb body in a fixed position relative to a comb handle;
- a second row of comb teeth disposed upon the comb body and configured to slide in a generally parallel manner alongside the first row of comb teeth;
- and
- an adjustable tension mechanism disposed upon the comb body and configured to provide a tension between the first row of comb teeth and the second row of comb teeth, thereby configured to compress hair at a variable level of tension and provide a wring effect.
A hair combing, drying, and straightening device utilizing at least one row of comb teeth, the device comprising:
- an at least one row of comb teeth disposed upon a comb body in a fixed position relative to a comb handle;
- and
- a plurality of flaps disposed upon the at least one row of comb teeth, the flaps being elastic and flexible and disposed on each tooth and configured to facilitate a wring effect to hair passed through the adjustable hair comb.
A system for combing, drying, and straightening hair, the system comprising:
- an adjustable hair comb having a first row of comb teeth disposed upon a comb body in a fixed position relative to a comb handle, a second row of comb teeth disposed upon the comb body and configured to slide in a generally parallel manner alongside the first row of comb teeth, and an adjustable tension mechanism disposed upon the comb body and configured to provide a tension between the first row of comb teeth and the second row of comb teeth, thereby configured to compress hair at a variable level of tension and provide a wring effect;
- and
- a water displacement solution for use on the adjustable hair comb to displace water as the comb is passed through hair;
- and
- wherein the combing and drying of hair is facilitated without the use of an electrical source and a heat source.
