ABSTRACT:
A braiding apparatus and method are provided useful in gathering and separating a person's hair into a series of discrete bundles which may be woven into braids, during which braid making process the apparatus of the invention may be left in the hair to maintain the hair bundle configuration while the braid is being made. An apparatus is provided with a pair of arcuately shaped pivotally interconnected clips having oppositely facing comb structures configured to form a series of bundle-forming slots when the comb structures are brought into registration with one another after moving the clips toward one another through the hair.
