The present invention provides a novel method of a hair comb having a plurality of comb teeth bodies having various shapes and functions for integrally forming a comb and forming a center handle capable of being held by a user by a hand on the side of the hair comb. The comb tooth body is selectively used according to the state of the user's hair so as to be selectively used in the body of the body part, and comb teeth forming a comb to comb the head and the lower section consisting of fine teeth which are situated in the lower part of the teeth section, since they are used less frequently, and offer a user selective fine combing. Thus, the new structure allows the selective combing to be used in accordance with the required state of the user.
The invention as per its preferred embodiments is a unique comb designed in the shape of a bearded axe. It is recommended to be carved from wood but can be made from any other material including but not limited to acetate, bone or other material by way of carving, machine cutting, injection molding, et. al.
The comb as per preferred embodiments is in the shape of a unique axe, which enables a novel ergonomic experience for beard, mustache and hair grooming. In contrast to common handheld combs, this comb's shape significantly distances the comb's teeth section from the handle and thus alters the fulcrum allowing the comb teeth to travel farther with each stroke, so providing a novel and refined combing experience.
The proposed invention as per its further embodiments enables the user to keep his or her hand free from contacting the beard, mustache or hair and thereby any styling products used.
The system as per its further embodiments has it's uniquely designed teeth section, where the comb has both coarse teeth and fine teeth, both which allow for selective nuanced grooming.
The coarse teeth as per its preferred embodiments are situated at the top of the teeth section, since they are used frequently, and thereby offer a user ease of access for general grooming. The fine teeth are situated in the lower part of the teeth section, since they are used less frequently, and offer a user selective fine combing.
The system as per its additional embodiments has top edge of the comb which is designed with a slight curve that enables one to press the edge against the face and shave alongside so to create a smooth line.
The comb axe-shape and handle position, which distances the user's hand from the comb's teeth itself, allows to create a greater fulcrum and so enables a unique and more controlled combing motion and experience, where small wrist movements result in large strokes and thus less hand and arm fatigue.
The comb's teeth top edge is designed as a curved facial hair shaving stencil tool. This comb is of simple construction but novel and unique function, as a user will find this comb enables one to comb with less arm movement and fatigue, keep his or her hands free of hair product, and have nuanced control over both grooming and shaving.
