a first scissor including a first jaw, a first curved blade, and a first handle, the first jaw including a first tip and a first concave inner surface, the first tip located on the first jaw farther from the first handle, the first curved blade projecting from the first concave inner surface of the first jaw; and
a second scissor including a second jaw, a second curved blade, and a second handle, the second jaw including a second tip and a second concave inner surface, the second tip located on the second jaw farther from the second handle, the second curved blade projecting from the second concave inner surface of the second jaw;
the first and second jaws pivotably connected to each other and configured to move between open and closed positions, the first tip of the first jaw and the second tip of the second jaw configured to contact each other in the closed position and be spaced apart from each other in the open position, the first curved blade and the second curved blade forming an opening in the closed position, the opening being of a generally elongated ellipse shape and configured to receive braided hair;
wherein the first and second jaws define a plane along which the first and second jaws are configured to move between the open and closed positions, the first curved blade projecting in a first direction at a first angle generally away from the plane and towards the second curved blade, the second curved blade projecting in a second direction at a second angle generally away from the plane and towards the first curved blade, the first and second angles are from about 10 degrees and to about 80 degrees.
