A nit picking device and method for mechanically stripping nits, eggs, and lice from human hair. The device includes a pair of cooperating tongs each of which is elongated and joined at one end to the juxtaposed end portion of the cooperating tong. The opposite ends of the tong serve to carry an abrasive pad capable of stripping nits from nit laden human hair shafts. As the pads with human hair gripped there between are moved along the length of the hair, the nits are removed from the shafts and in one embodiment capture at least in part in the pads carried by tongs. In another embodiment, the tongs themselves are provided with an abrasive surface suitable for stripping nits as the tongs grip the hair and are moved along the length thereof.
