Abstract

A hair grasping device having a handle with hollow fingers, a trigger slidably attached to the handle, a number of grips slidably attached within the hollow fingers connected to the trigger. Each of the grips has a first and a second arm, a central post, and an extended position and retracted position. When in the retracted position, the arms are forced against the central post by the hollow fingers, and when in the extended position, the arms are forced away from the central post, creating a clearance between the arms and the central post.
