ABSTRACT:
A braid detangling device for removing braids, comprising an elongated housing which serves to contain an electric motor, and first and second elongated teeth projecting in a perpendicular with respect to the housing. The first elongated tooth is fixedly attached to the housing and the second elongated tooth is movable between a retracted position wherein the two teeth are immediately adjacent to each other and an extended position wherein the two teeth are spread away from each other. A drive mechanism of any suitable type is provided within the housing adapted to apply a drive from the electric motor to oscillate the second tooth between the extended and retracted positions. The first and second teeth have pointed end adapted to be inserted into densely interwoven strands of hair. In use, the pair of teeth are inserted into a braid while they are in the retracted position and subsequent expanding motion of the second tooth pushes interwoven strands of hair away from each other and thereby resulting in disentanglement of a portion of the braid.
