    The document describes a hair styling apparatus that combs hair while simultaneously drying it using heated comb teeth. The apparatus styles wet or damp hair more effectively than dry hair by separating tangled strands through combing and drying actions. The majority of comb and tooth materials should have high thermal conductivity, like metal, to effectively dry hair during combing, while tooth tips may use less conductive materials to avoid scalp discomfort from heat.

    including a single comb member, and further that this effect is much less
    pronounced in apparatuses employing two comb members, reciprocating
    parallely along their longitudinal axes, because such parallely reciprocating
    comb members are more distant from one another at all times. as compared to
    5

    the comb members according to the present invention.


    According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a
    method of grooming and/or styling hair which method preferably utilizes
    apparatus 10 described hereinabove.
    The method is effected by combing the hair to be groomed and/or styled

    JO

    with the comb member of apparatus 10, while at the same time operating the
    hair drying mechanism to thereby heat the hair combed so as to effect grooming
    and/or styling thereof.
    The method of the present invention is most effective on wet or damp
    hair. since as mentioned hereinabove. dry hair can be styled without employing

    15

    the hair drying mechanism.


    Since wet hair tends to group or "stick" together a combing action is not
    sufficient in untangling or ungrouping hair and as such simultaneous drying
    which is enabled by the apparatus of the present invention greatly facilitates
    hair separation and as greatly increase hair body or volume.

    The majority of the materials of comb members 18 and teeth 20 are to


    be of relatively high thermal conductivity typically a metal or metal alloy. Tips
    of comb teeth 20 could be optionally made of a material of relatively low heat
    conductivity to avoid contact of excessive heat to scalp causing discomfort.

    Although the invention has been described in conjunction with specific


    embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives. modifications and
    variations \Vill be apparent to those skilled in the art.

    Accordingly, it is

    intended to embrace all such alternatives. modifications and variations that fall
    within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.
