Abstract
A comb for removing braids and cornrowed hairstyles from an individuals' hair.
The comb is comprised of:
1. three large tines, slightly bent at the tips, with spacing of approximately 3/4" between each tine, 2. fourteen small tines, also slightly bent at the tips, and a tail or handle, approximately 3 inches in length and slightly bent outwards.
The portion of the comb with the three large tines is spaced in such a manner that the individual removing the braids can place their first and second fingers comfortably in between each tooth which provides more control and speed to the individual.
The large tines of the comb can be used to grasp the hair easily and quickly, thus loosening the braids more readily. Once the braids have been loosened, the other end of the invention, comprised of fourteen small tines, can be used to comb the hair out.

Description
DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
The Extension Removal Comb is 6 inches in length from top to bottom, and 1 inch wide from the tip of the tines to the base (or back) of the comb. The front end of the comb, which is comprised of large and small tines, is 3 inches in length, while the tail or handle makes up the remaining 3 inches of length. Each of the three large tines measures approximately 11/l6th of an inch in length and goes from 3/l6th of an inch (in thickness at the base) to 1/l6th of an inch (in thickness at the tip). Each tine, which is rounded and smooth at the point, is bent outward towards the tip at a 45° angle.
There is a spacing of 3/4 of an inch between the first and second large tooth and the second and third large tooth. There are fourteen smaller sized tines also measuring 11/l6th of an inch in length.
The base of the comb (from which all the tines extend) is 5/l6th of an inch in length, while the width (or thickness) is 2/ 16th of an inch.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The Extension Removal Comb's main purpose is to aid in the process of loosening and removing braids and cornrows from an individual's hair. Many people of African descent fashion their hair in various braided hair styles. These styles can be created using an individual's natural hair, or extensions such as synthetic, kenakalen or human hair can be '~veaved" into the individual's own hair to create and maintain a braided style. These braided designs can range anywhere in length from 1 to 40 inches and from . S/
16th to 2 inches wide.
Depending on the complexity, length and width of the braids, it can take anywhere from one to twenty-four hours to create a braided hairstyle. The process of removing braids can take equally as long. The Extension Removal Comb has been designed to reduce the amount of time required to loosen and remove braids. By using this specially designed comb, braids can be removed quickly and efficiently in half the amount of time it would normally take to remove braids with a regular comb.
With a regular small-toothed comb, there is often difficulty in grasping and loosening the hair, which often results in breakage of the comb's tines. The large, slightly bent tines in the Extension Removal comb expedites the removal of braids quickly and efficiently without breakage to the comb or the individual's hair. This reduces the amount of time it takes to unravel the braided hairstyle which normally can take anywhere from one to five hours, sometimes longer depending on the thickness or thinness of each individual braid.
The width and slightly angled positioning of the large tines enable the braid to be unraveled with ease and simplicity, while the small tines of the invention can be used to comb out the unraveled braid and to also loosen very fine, tiny braids.
