Estimating the term…
A hair braiding tool for fusing the end of a braid of synthetic fibers includes a first elongated member having at least one substantially semi-cylindrical transverse groove formed in a surface thereof with the groove having an open end and a closed end and a second elongated member pivotally connected to the first elongated member and having at least one substantially semi-cylindrical transverse groove formed in a surface thereof with the groove having an open end and a closed end. Upon bringing the first and second members into engagement with each other, the semi-cylindrical grooves therein mate with each other to define a cylindrical passage having an open end and a closed end for receiving a braid end therein. An electrical heating element is disposed in contact with the closed end of the cylindrical passage for trimming and fusing the braid end.
A hair braiding tool comprising first and second members, each of said members having at least one substantially semi-cylindrical groove therein, said grooves each having a closed end defined by a blade, said grooves and said blades being complementary to each other when disposed in mating relation to define at least one passage having a closed end and an open end for receiving an end of a synthetic hair braid and heating means for heating said grooves and said blades to fuse said end to prevent unraveling of the braid.
