A comb is disclosed for applying a metered amount of a liquid preparation to the hair. The back of the comb has a reservoir and a metering chamber operably connected to the reservoir through a valve. The metering chamber is mounted over the teeth of the comb and has openings to allow its liquid contents to flow by means of gravity out of the chamber and in the direction of the teeth of the comb.
