Abstract: An improved hair brush which can be selectively manipulated from either end when in contact with hair on a body is provided which has an elongated member or shaft with a handle extending from one end of the shaft, a short end portion extending from the shaft in the opposite direction, and a sleeve adapted to cover the handle and be releasably retained thereon. The sleeve and the short end portion are adapted to releasably secure the sleeve to the short end portion when the sleeve is released and removed from the handle. In such position, the sleeve can function as a second handle upon being releasably secured to the end portion, and the brush therefore can be manipulated by manipulating the handle or alternatively by manipulating the sleeve upon the sleeve being released from the handle and being secured to the end portion.
