Patent Application

Stylin Kombs are to be used in the field of Beauty Culture. Beauty Culture at home, in the hair salon, or barbershop.
The subject matter that this invention addresses is hair styling. Plastic combs currently on the market cannot control a large portion of hair due to their length and shape. Stylin Kombs are longer than the standard haircomb.
Stylin Kombs are also flexible. They bend to fit the customers head, thus making it easier for the stylist or customer to work with a large portion of the hair.
Stylin Kombs teeth protrude from the inside of the comb. While styling hair there are sections of hair that must be kept in place while one is working on changing the hair to a desired look. Large portions of hair cannot be kept in place with a straight comb. A bendable comb sized to fit the child, teen or adult head of hair can help the stylist or person easily control a larger portion of the hair while working on or styling on another section of the hair resulting in faster easier styling process.
When styling hair, beauticians, barbers (stylists) can only separate a small portion of the hair because the comb used to separate the hair is not long enough and does not fit the shape of the head to hold the hair in place. There is a need to hold hair down with a comb of appropriate size while conserving energy. This makes the stylists job easier while processing the hair with the flat iron, straightening comb, hair color or other styling tools.
U.S. Pat No. 4,126,143 Shroeder's disclosure of a comb device with heat conducting teeth assists stylists with hair straightening. If hair is braided and dreaded heat is not necessary to control hair that is not being worked on.

With a larger portion of hair separated from hair that is being styled or worked on, styling becomes less frustrating—no more short combs, braiding, or rubber bands are needed to separate hair when Stylin Kombs are used.
Push the StylinKomb gently away from hair that you are woring with and you can perform the task of styling without constant pushing of hair that is in your way.
If you want a portion of your hair out and the rest laying down neatly, position the Stylin Komb in hair as desired as an accessory.
With the surge of conservation among all of us we must create hair styling tools that will help save energy and at the same time help stylists and others to quickly process and style hair. Stylin kombs can be used with out electricity, and they can be used to help speed up other styling processes. A few pennies can be saved with Stylin Kombs. They not only help in the styling process, they help beautify the hair as an accessory.
If there happens to be a power outage, heat controlling tools that aid in the hair styling process cannot be used. Stylin Kombs can be used when the power is on or off. The comb is very easy to used by both males and females.
