     FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a hair grooming apparatus particularly used as a complimentary apparatus for hair combing, hair blow drying, hair weaving, hair partitioning, hair lifting, hair braiding, hair highlighting, hair coloring, and other hair manipulation processes or as a combination apparatus for some of the aforementioned processes. 
     BACKGROUND 
     There are several state of the art hair grooming devices known in the prior art that are preferably used to facilitate hair titling and hair combing of sectioned hair strands. Time after time, these devices managed to eliminate any unwanted tangling and matting of hair strands. Furthermore, there are other hair grooming devices known in the prior art that are used as multi-purpose apparatuses for purposes of hair combing and hair picking: Harvey, U.S. Pat. No. D282,293; Wall, U.S. Pat. No. 7,231,925; and Schleicher, U.S. Pat. No. 6,109,273. 
     There are other hair grooming devices known in the prior art that are used predominantly for the purpose of hair lifting only: Thomas, U.S. Pat. No. D270,296; Bozak, U.S. Pat. No. D368,981; and Featherstone, and U.S. Pat. No. 258,541. 
     There are few others that serve the purpose of replaceable brush holders with various orientations therein, see U.S. Pat. No. 5,293,661. 
     Finally, there are hair grooming devices known in the prior art that function as applicator tools for processes of hair dressing, hair coloring and the like. See Knight, U.S. Pat. No. 5,042,512; Foti, U.S. Pat. No. 5,499,637; Mourad, U.S. Pat. No. 5,533,537; DaSilva, U.S. Pat. No. 6,240,928. 
     However, none of the devices aforementioned provide an all-inclusive, multi-functional hair grooming apparatus that can seamlessly manipulate various processes of hair grooming with just one hand. Most of the devices known in the prior art require the use of a second hand as an assistant to hold the hair strands while the first hand performs the various hair grooming processes. The cumbersome procedure is a drastic disadvantage for a user who seems disabled when engaged in a combined effort of hair grooming process, where simultaneous actions are essential. For example, combination processes such as hair lifting and hair highlighting or hair combing and hair partitioning. Additionally, the present invention alleviates many hair grooming disadvantages and rewards a user with a revolutionary hair grooming tool that can be worn on one hand manipulated through movement of that one hand, thus leaving the other hand to perform other relevant tasks essential in making the hair grooming experience a seamless process. The present invention allows the user to save time due to its combined state of the art, multi-tasking functionality in hair grooming. 
     For the foregoing reasons, there is a need of a hair grooming device that is all-inclusive and versatile, and one which can enable anyone to perform various hair grooming processes with great flexibility and lesser disadvantages. The present invention is a multi-task hair grooming pick that is easily maneuverable, easily transportable, lightweight, and inexpensive to manufacture. 
     SUMMARY 
     The present invention is directed to a multi task hair grooming pick that ensures a user to separate, flip and articulate hair while simultaneously performing various hair grooming tasks with ease. The present invention is water resistant, detachable and is accommodated to fit the sizes and dexterity of anyone in all assortments. 
     The present invention is a hair grooming pick that manipulates hair in numerous ways, while simultaneously providing a means for attaching any accessory for aiding in the hair grooming process. 
     The present invention is a hair grooming pick that performs a myriad of hair grooming procedures, such as combing, parting, flipping, braiding, separating, or any other creative manipulation of hair. The hair grooming pick is effective in providing a tightly controlled, efficient manipulation of hair because it is attached to a glove worn by the user. The tight glove gives the use a feeling of complete control of the hair pick. Thus, while wearing the device, any small movement of the wrist or fingers translates into precise manipulation of the hair. The hair grooming device also provides illumination from an attachable light source. This is useful for grooming hair in poorly lit areas. However, since the light source is detachable, it can be used for a plethora of different illumination functions beyond the scope of hair grooming. 
     The present invention is a hair grooming tool that is comprised of a housing that houses a light source cartridge. The housing is attached to a finger hair stabilizer. A user inserts one of his or her fingers in the pick hair stabilizer when the hair grooming tool is used. 
     An object of the present invention is to provide a hair grooming device that gives the user a precision control feeling when using the tool. 
     A further object of the present invention is to allow a user of the device to handle the hair in a seamless an efficient manner.
