Further, it takes much time to braid hair with hands, and a mistake can occur during braiding. Even the desired braided style is done, the braided hairstyle may be not so tight and attractive.
The present invention has been accomplished under the circumstances in view. It is the main object of the present invention to provide a hair braider, which facilitates braiding multiple sections of hair into a complicated hairstyle.
To achieve this and other objects of the present invention, a hair braider comprises a braider body, at least one pair of first braiding holes and at least one pair of second braiding holes cut through two opposing walls of the braider body at selected locations, a slotted throat extended from each of the first and second braiding holes to the border of the braider body for enabling different sections of the hair of a person to be pushed from the border of the braider body into the respective braiding holes, and corrugated surface portions located in the slotted throats and the first and second braiding holes. Further, the slotted throats that are respectively connected to the first braiding holes are disposed at two opposite lateral sides of the braider body. The slotted throats that are respectively connected to the second braiding holes are located at a bottom side of the braider body.
Other advantages and features of the present invention will be fully understood by reference to the following specification in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference signs denote like components of structure.

In an application example, the hair braider (1) is used to compile a French braid, and the procedure is outlined hereinafter.
Step I: At first, divide hair (2) at the center of the top of the head into a first right section of hair (21) and a first left section of hair (22), and then twist up the first right section of hair (21) and the first left section of hair (22), and then push the strain-like first right section of hair (21) and the strain-like first left section of hair (22) through the two slotted throats (121) at the two opposite lateral sides of the braider body (11) into the respective first braiding holes (12) (see
Step II: divide the part of hair (2) at the center of the top of the head at two opposite lateral sides relative to the first right section of hair (21) and a first left section of hair (22) into a second right section of hair (23) and a second left section of hair (24), and then combine the second right section of hair (23) and the first left section of hair (22) and put them into the first braiding hole (12) and the second braiding hole (13) in a proper order, and then combine the second left section of hair (24) and the first right section of hair (21) and put them into the first braiding hole (12) and the second braiding hole (13) (as shown in
Step III (the final step: repeat Step II, divide the part of hair (2) around two opposite lateral sides of the second right section of hair (23) and a second left section of hair (24) into a third right section of hair (25) and a third left section of hair(26), and then combine the third right section of hair (25) with the first right section of hair (21) and the second left section of hair (24), and then put them into the first braiding hole (12) and the second braiding hole (13) in a proper order, and then combine the third left section of hair (26) with the first left section of hair (22) and the second right section of hair (23) and put them into the first braiding hole (12) and the second braiding hole (13) in a proper order, and then turn the braider body (11) counter-clockwise or clockwise through 180-degree angle (as shown in
At final, a small pigtail (27) is left at the end of the braided hair, at this time, the hair braider (1) can be removed from hair (as shown in
