To be able to execute an exceptional haircut, proper shear and comb holding techniques are crucial. Yet, holding both tools can be challenging for an individual attempting to perform a personal cut considering the comb often gets in the way of the scissors which not only can lead to cuts on the fingers but also may result in an uneven haircut. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem.
An apparatus to simplify the process of having to hold shears and combs while cutting hair, protecting fingers as well, is not being met by any known device or system at present. There have been no products available as original equipment or as an aftermarket to address this problem either.
The main purpose of the styling comb is to provide users with a universal comb that attaches to the middle finger to facilitate hair styling.
The disclosure includes a comb comprising a shaft and a row of teeth wherein the shaft has a length and a width and a first end and a second end. The disclosure also includes a clip attached to the shaft of the comb wherein the clip has a length and a relation to the shaft length. The disclosure also includes a ring attached to the comb via the clip wherein the ring has a height and a diameter configured to receive a user's finger.
