ABSTRACT:
A comb for precision cutting of hair to specific length. The comb comprises a standard main body portion with parallel teeth, extending from a base, and thickened end sections which laterally enclose the teeth. Extending from one of the end sections is a handle member, offset from the plane of the teeth by a sufficient distance such that fingers, which grip the handle member, are kept from contacting the scalp. The offset handle keeps the user's fingers off the scalp, thereby preventing inadvertent end tipping of the comb. The handle member is also laterally offset to the rear of the comb for enhanced ergonomic handling, to permit better visibility of the hair being cut and to remove the fingers out of line with the clippers or scissors. The main body portion further comprises pedestal stand-off elements such as flat sided protrusions integrated with the sides of the teeth and/or end sections which are placed directly on a scalp. The pedestal stand-off elements maintain the teeth of the comb a predetermined distance from the scalp, and also provide a stable support for the teeth, to prevent inadvertent tilting movement of the teeth relative to the scalp. In use, the main body portion of the comb is placed directly on a scalp, with hair then being combed between the teeth. A cutting implement such as scissors or a clipper, placed directly on the scalp-supported teeth, is then used to cut hair extending from between the teeth to a precisely predetermined length equal to the combined thickness of the comb teeth and the pedestal elements.
