Abstract
A dual blade teasing comb and hair pick includes a laterally space pair of comb blades, each including an elongated spine having a longitudinal series of teeth depending therefrom and an elongated rearwardly extending cylindrical hair. The combs may be pivotally and slidably interconnect whereby the comb teeth are effective for increasing teased volume during backcombing and the picks may be pivoted to permit repositioning of the teased volume.
Claims7
A comb assembly, comprising:
- a pair of combs, each comb comprising an elongated spine, a longitudinal series of teeth depending from the spine, and connecting means between the combs positioning the teeth of the combs in laterally spaced relationship at a distance of loss than about 3/4 inch wherein said connecting means pivotally and slidably interconnect said combs.
A method of creating a teased volume of hair adjacent a scalp section, comprising the steps of:
- a. grasping a plurality of hairs;
- b. extending said hairs from said scalp;
- c. providing a first series of comb teeth and a second series of comb teeth, rotating said first series of teeth relative to said second series of teeth and engaging said plurality of hairs with said first series of comb teeth;
- d. simultaneously engaging said hair with said second series of teeth behind and in close proximity to said first series of teeth;
- e. moving said first series and said second series of teeth in tandem toward said scalp to establish a compacted volume of hair adjacent said scalp;
- f. moving said first series of teeth and said second series of teeth in tandem away from said scalp while maintaining contact with non-compacted hair;
- g. repeating said steps of moving until a desired compaction of hair adjacent the scalp has been attained;
- and
- h. providing elongated cylindrical hair picks in combination with said first series and said second series of teeth, relatively rotating said hair picks;
- inserting said hair picks into said compacted volume;
- and lifting said hair picks away from said scalp to reposition said compacted volume.

A dual blade teasing comb and hair pick, comprising:
- a first comb unit and a second comb unit;
- each of said comb units including an elongated spine having a longitudinal series of teeth depending therefrom and an elongated cylindrical hair pick attached to a rear portion thereof and extending rearwardly thereof;
- and
- pin means pivotally interconnecting said spines of said comb units at said rear portions between said teeth and said hair picks, and accommodating relative pivotal movement therebetween and maintaining said spines in close parallel juxtaposition at a distance of less than about 3/4 inch.
