Abstract

Apparatus is provided for holding a comb or similar device for treatment of the hair in a fixed position relative to the ear lobe in the first step of its use in parting the hair at a predetermined point. The apparatus includes an arcuate or similar retaining element having a slide member adapted to slide along the length of the arcuate element and a comb is held in a clamp which forms a portion of the slide member. A stationary support or positioning bracket on one end of the arcuate element provides a reference for alignment with the ear lobe. Thus, in use, the stationary bracket is aligned with the top of the ear lobe with the arcuate member extending over the person's head. The comb is previously positioned along the arcuate element so as to effect the desired location of the part in the hair. With this accomplished the whole unit is moved downwardly so as to effect the part by the downwardly moving comb. This apparatus affords a fixed setting of the comb in the slide member to effect the parting of the hair at the same location each time.
