A plurality of hair separating members comprising fine hair separators and coarse hair separators are secured to the body and extend outwardly therefrom. The body may be hollow and include a plurality of openings through an external wall, and at least one hair separating member is disposed through each opening. The coarse hair separators are structured to create spaces between sections of hair upon use, through which hot air can be applied. Moreover, the coarse hair separators are evenly dispersed throughout the body for more efficient hair drying. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A hair styling device comprising: a handle, a body connected to one end of said handle, a plurality of hair separating members secured at a first end to said body and extending outwardly therefrom, at least a portion of said plurality of hair separating members comprising fine hair separators structured to remove tangles from hair, and at least a portion of said plurality of hair separating members comprising coarse hair separators structured to create spaces between sections of hair defined by the width of each of said coarse hair separator. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The hair styling device as recited in claim 1 wherein said coarse hair separators are wider and longer than said fine hair separators. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The hair styling device as recited in claim 2 wherein said coarse hair separators are at least twice as wide as said fine hair separators. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The hair styling device as recited in claim 1 wherein said coarse hair separators are disposed in a generally alternating pattern to said fine hair separators such that said coarse hair separators are evenly interspersed along said body. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The hair styling device as recited in claim 4 wherein said plurality of hair separating members are disposed in rows and columns along said body, wherein alternating columns or rows comprise a combination of said coarse hair separators and said fine hair separators ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The hair styling device as recited in claim 5 wherein said coarse hair separators and said fine hair separators are disposed in alternating fashion along a common column. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The hair styling device as recited in claim 1 wherein said body comprises a plurality of openings disposed therethrough. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The hair styling device as recited in claim 7 wherein at least some of said plurality of hair separating members are disposed through said openings in said body and extend outwardly therefrom. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The hair styling device as recited in claim 1 wherein said plurality of hair separating members are disposed at least partially around said body. ### Claim 10 A hair styling device for use with heat, comprising: a handle configured to be grasped in the hand of a user, a body connected to an end of said handle, a plurality of fine hair separators configured in groupings and secured at one end to said body and extending outwardly therefrom, a plurality of coarse hair separators each secured at one end to said body and extending outwardly therefrom, wherein said plurality of fine hair separators and said plurality of coarse hair separators collectively at least partially surround said body, and said groupings of said fine hair separators and said plurality of coarse hair separators collectively configured in a substantially alternating pattern to evenly disperse said coarse hair separators. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The hair styling device as recited in claim 10 wherein each of said coarse hair separators are structured to create spaces between groupings of hair defined by the width of each of said coarse hair separator such that hot air can be directed to said space between groupings of hair for efficient hair drying. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The hair styling device as recited in claim 10 wherein said body comprises a plurality of openings disposed therethrough to facilitate the passage of heat through said body when hot air is directed to said body. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The hair styling device as recited in claim 12 wherein at least some of said plurality of fine hair separators are disposed through at least one of said openings in said body and extending outwardly therefrom. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The hair styling device as recited in claim 12 wherein at least one of said plurality of coarse hair separators is disposed through at least one of said openings in said body and extending outwardly therefrom. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The hair styling device as recited in claim 14 wherein different ones of said plurality of coarse hair separators are disposed through different ones of said openings in said body and extend outwardly therefrom. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The hair styling device as recited in claim 10 wherein each of said groupings include a plurality of fine hair separators in closely spaced proximity ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The hair styling device as recited in claim 10 wherein individual ones of said coarse hair separators are disposed between at least one of said groupings of said fine hair separators. ### Claim 18 (depends on 10) The hair styling device as recited in claim 10 wherein said fine hair separators and said coarse hair separators are disposed in rows and columns along said body. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The hair styling device as recited in claim 18 wherein alternating columns or rows comprise said fine hair separators. ### Claim 20 (depends on 18) The hair styling device as recited in claim 18 wherein alternating columns comprise a combination of said fine hair separators and said coarse hair separators.
