VOLUME AND CURL ENHANCING HAIRBRUSH
A hairbrush includes a main body, a first set of bristles, a second set of bristles, and a handle extending from the main body. Preferably, the hairbrush will have bristle sockets or the like arranged along the main body permitting a plurality of bristles to be inserted into each of the sockets. The bristles of the first set of bristles are substantially longer than the bristles of the second set of bristles. Furthermore, the bristles of the first set of bristles and the bristles of the second set of bristles will be of a different type. The first set of bristles and the second set of bristles can be arranged in a stacked helical pattern around the main body. In other embodiments, the first set of bristles and the second set of bristles can be arranged on flat hairbrushes. In use, the first set of bristles reach to the scalp and lift strands of hair up from the scalp, and the second set of bristles then smooth these strands. The result is to produce volume and luxurious hair.
This application is a continuation-in-part of Ser. No. 15/912,439, entitled “VOLUME AND CURL ENHANCING HAIRBRUSH,” filed Mar. 5, 2018, pending, which claims the benefit of provisional Ser. No. 62/466,908, filed Mar. 3, 2017, the subject matter of each of the above incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to hairbrushes, and more particularly to hairbrushes having disparate sets of bristles arranged in particular patterns to enhance volume and curl.
2. Description of the Related ArtHair has a tendency to become tangled, snarled, and generally untidy if not cared for on a daily basis. Hence various combs and brushes have been invented for hair care. Combs have teeth that are useful for managing hair, particularly when hair is wet or needs to be parted and/or styled. Hairbrushes have bristles that stimulate the scalp, clean the hair, and spread natural oils through the hair.
Conventional hairbrushes include various types of bristles. These include bristles made of plastic, such as nylon. Some of these plastic bristles include balls on the tips. There are also natural bristles made of boar hair or the like, and blends of natural and synthetic bristle. Additionally, there are many different types of hairbrushes, including flat brushes, round brushes, teasing brushes, venting brushes, etc.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONA hairbrush includes a main body, a first set of bristles, a second set of bristles, and a handle extending from the main body. Preferably, the hairbrush will have bristle sockets or the like arranged along the main body permitting a plurality of bristles to be inserted into each of the sockets. The bristles of the first set of bristles are substantially longer than the bristles of the second set of bristles. Furthermore, the bristles of the first set of bristles and the bristles of the second set of bristles will be of a different type. The first set of bristles and the second set of bristles can be arranged in a stacked helical pattern around the main body. In other embodiments, the first set of bristles and the second set of bristles can be arranged on flat hairbrushes. In use, the first set of bristles reach to the scalp and lift strands of hair up from the scalp, and the second set of bristles then smooth these strands. The result is to produce volume and luxurious hair.
