Abstract A hair management or styling implement which is formed generally in the shape of a scissors-type implement, with respect to including a pair of lever-type elongated members pivoted to each other intermediate their ends. Two adjacent ends of the elongated members are in juxtaposition and comprise a pair of handle members for manual grasping and manipulation of the implement in a singular manner by a person''s hand in a scissors-type motion. The opposite end of one of the levers has a hair brush, comb, or the like, through which a tuft of hair may pass in a brushing or combing fashion. The bristles or teeth of the brush or comb face inwardly with respect to the implement and a pair of hair guiding arms are formed on the adjacent end of the other elongated lever member for pivotal movement from spaced positions relative to the brush or comb to positions alongside the brush or comb whereby the tuft of hair may be sandwiched between the arms and the brush, or comb, for biasing the hair strands therethrough.
A hair management or styling implement comprising: a first elongated member having a hair confining portion through which hair may pass in a combing or brushing fashion and a handle portion forming an extension of said hair confining portion; and a second elongated member pivotally mounted to said first member intermediate the hair confining portion and handle portion in a crossing fashion, saiD second member including a handle portion on one side of the pivot opposite the handle portion of the first member on one side of the first member and a clamping portion on the other side of the pivot opposite the confining portion of the first member on the opposite side of the first member for engaging a tuft of hair and hand biasing it into engagement with said hair confining portion when the handle portion of the second member is manually moved toward the handle portion of the first member whereby varying maximum hand exerted forces can be applied between the hair confining portion of the first member and the clamping portion of the second member.
