Abstract
An apparatus for treating hair comprises a motor, a housing engaging the housing, and a pair of combs, each comb movably engaged by the housing. A mechanism comprising two arms is engaged by the housing with each arm operably connected between one of the combs and the motor so as to force each comb to reciprocate substantially perpendicular to their longitudinal axis so as to cause the teeth of each comb to reciprocally cross back-and-forth, over and between the teeth of the other comb member. The apparatus can be used for detangling hair, removing parasites such as lice, and/or removing particles such as dandruff.
