Embodiment Construction

[0022]The present invention has a rounded base that rests in the palm of the hand 12. FIGS. 1 through 2, the present invention contains sixteen comb teeth 10, preferably molded of silicone, that are attached to a silicone base 14. FIG. 1 The comb teeth 10 makeup four horizontal rows, two horizontal rows contain four comb teeth 10a, two horizontal rows contain three comb teeth 10b, and one horizontal row contains two comb teeth 10c. The comb teeth have narrow rounded tips 16 that broaden to the end of a widened tooth base 17, which supports tooth pliability FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. Each pair adjacent teeth defines a channel 15 there between which receives hair during the combing operation. Each of these channels 15 are widely spaced in comparison to the native configuration. This expanded area 15 minimizes hair wedging between the teeth. With comb operation, teeth 10 bend gently in to tangled strands, separate, and allow for smooth run through. The comb teeth 10 have added length to accomm...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a multipurpose hair comb characterized by three elements; scalp cleansing, scalp massage, and hair detangling. The comb teeth are straight or curved, tapered in a specific style and are flexible but designed with resilience to meet the needs of hair grooming. The comb teeth are spaced widely as to lessen tension on the hair strands while gently facilitating passage of hair therethrough. The comb teeth contain pliability in all directions, side to side flex and upward downward bend. The tool structure is solid and resistant to harsh environmental conditions including impacts on hard surfaces. In the second rendition, a logo designed finger grip is added to the posterior comb for increased functionality and ergonomic design comfort. The posterior finger grip contains a small perforated hole intended for easy storage.

Description

THE FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is directed, in general, to hair care accessories, more specifically to hair grooming devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]“The average American woman is said to spend upwards of $50,000 on hair during her lifetime. The black hair care market alone has evolved in to a $10 billion industry and continues to grow” (Davis-Sivasothy, 2011) A vast portion of hair grooming tools within today's market are designed with the straight haired individual in mind, thus mass marketing campaigns are concentrated to persons with characteristic straight, wavy, or loosely curled hair types. Afro textured haired women purchase tools potentially formulated without consideration to the natural fragility of Afro textured hair, which increases the risk for potential hair damage. “Kinky hair often appears thick, tough, and coarse, but because of its inherent physical composition, it is not as nearly as strong as it appears. Every twist, bend and curl...
