Abstract
An improved hand-held electric powered hair trimming appliance is described comprising a comb and a cutter. The appliance is adapted to be advanced along a bed of hair in the same type of combing motion as is used to style the hair and the cutter is transported simultaneously with the comb. The comb is adapted to apply a force to strands of hair being combed causing distal segments thereof to deflect away from the bed of hair. The cutter is positioned in the path of the deflected segments of hair for shearing thereof by the cutter. Predetermined spacing of the cutter with respect to the comb provides for the majority of the sheared distal segments having a predetermined length.
