Abstract
A hair cutting guide and method for aiding in creating/trimming a human hair into a Mohawk type hairstyle. The Mohawk guide consists of two side pieces, two adjustable spacers/connectors, and two clips. The bottom edges of the two side pieces are contoured to follow the shape of the human head from the start of the hairline to the nape of the neck.
Claims6
A mohawk hair cutting guide comprising:
- two generally vertical side pieces that are substantially rigid and planar with a front edge, a rear edge, a top edge, and a contoured bottom edge extending across the length of the side pieces;
- wherein the outer contour of the bottoms of the side pieces are configured to closely follow the outer contour of the human head as the mohawk guide is moved during operation, generally along the middle of head, from the start of hairline generally at the top of the forehead to the end of the hairline generally to the nape of the neck;
- two clips that are each attached to one of the two side pieces, with the top of the clips used for operation above the top edges of the side pieces, the bottom edges of the clips rest slightly above the bottom contour edge of the side pieces while closed;
- the clips are configured to be manually opened via compressing the tops of the clips while the mohawk guide is being moved and to close when released thereby securing the mohawk guide to ones head by gripping the hair in between the clips bottom edges and the inner surfaces of the side pieces;
- and
- two adjustable spacers that serve to connect the two side pieces so they are generally parallel and have an even width, which serves to determine the eventual width of the mohawk to be created.
