Abstract
A hair-grooming device comprises a hollow elongate holder having a comb or brush attachment fitted onto one end portion thereof. A high-voltage source is enclosed in the holder for ion-generation. An elongate conductive support is mounted in and insulated from the holder and electrically connected to the high-voltage source, such support extending parallel to and opposite the attachment. At least one row of electrodes extends outwardly from the support toward the holder. There is a slot-like opening in the holder adjacent the attachment for each row of electrodes, the electrodes in each row extending toward the corresponding opening for escape of the formed ions through such opening to the exterior of the holder.
