Abstract: The present invention relates to a brush, comb, or hair appliance having a cage body comprising one or more functional inserts or plugs accommodated within the cage body containing bristles, teeth, or mini posts, such as loop posts and/or hook posts. Such cage-type hair tools may have no electricity or source of power, they may use traditional sources of power, or they may be heated by exposure to hot air, hot surfaces, or other heat sources. The one or more functional inserts within the cage body may be sized to move within the cage, made of a deformable and recoverable material, and/or have a specific shape to force into the cage body and expand to fill or overfill the cage body and may include hair additives, including but not limited to water, air, moisture, steam, liquids, fragrances, gels, mousses, foams, conditioners, keratin, oils, sprays, volumizers, softening agents, and/or powders.

Abstract: The appliance is composed of heat-retaining materials such as natural materials, including but not limited to grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, clay, and/or stones, manmade materials, including but not limited to beads and/or gels of silicon or glycerin, or combinations of natural and man-made heat-retaining materials. The invention relates to curling irons, crimping tools, straightening irons, hair rollers, hot air dryer brushes, traditional hair brushes and combs, heated brushes and similar appliances. The appliances may be heated by conventional sources such as an electrical plug or battery, or, heated by placing said appliance on or in a separate heating housing unit, and/or by heating in a microwave. The appliance may be used to fashion or style hair without the need for ongoing power from electrical or battery-operated sources.
