ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for treating hair including a handle, hair separation apparatus associated with the handle and extending longitudinally along an axis, apparatus for oscillating the hair separation apparatus about the axis so as to bring the hair separation apparatus into repeated engagement with a group of hairs so as to ease passage of the separation apparatus therethrough, and apparatus for preventing the hair separation apparatus from striking a portion of skin to which the hairs are attached. The hair separation apparatus is oscillated about the axis at a relatively high frequency, of, typically, greater than 4,000 cycles per minute and preferably greater than 10,000 cycles per minute, and at a relatively small amplitude, of, typically, no larger than about 5.degree. and, preferably, no larger than 2.degree.. A method of delousing hair includes the steps of placing hair separation apparatus in a group of hairs and oscillating the hair separation apparatus at high frequency, so as to bring the hair separation apparatus into repeated engagement with the group of hairs in a direction generally transverse to the length of the hairs, thereby also bringing the hair separation apparatus into repeated engagement with lice and lice eggs located among the hairs, so as to cause fatal injury to the lice and lice eggs.
