A device for pulling segments of hair through a thin plastic highlighting grid that is placed upon a person's head includes an elongated body having a longitudinal axis. A plurality of pick elements extend from the elongated body. Each of the pick elements has a hook is formed at a first end. Each of the pick elements is spaced apart by a distance sufficient to enable a person's fingers to pass in between the pick elements when gripping the elongated body. In the method of use of the device, a highlighting grid is placed over a person's head of hair. The highlighting grid contains individual grid blocks printed thereon. The pick elements are used to simultaneously pierce a plurality of grid blocks on the highlighting grid. The pick elements pass through the highlighting grid and engage segments of hair on the head of hair. As the pick elements are simultaneously retracted back through the highlighting grid, each of the pick elements pulls a segment of hair through the highlighting grid.
