  • Patent number: 5992423
    Abstract: A hairbrush is provided which includes a brush head that is detachable from the handle whereby numerous brush heads may be rolled into the hair and the handle removed such that the detached brush heads may act as curlers. The hairbrush includes a handle with a polygonal socket tool extending therefrom. A detent, preferably a spring loaded ball detent, protrudes from one of the side walls of the socket tool. The hairbrush also includes a brush head having a central core. An end wall of the central core defines a socket which is sized and shaped to receive the socket tool. A ridge defined by the socket engages the detent when the socket tool is inserted in the socket. Preferably, the hairbrush also includes a retraction mechanism for retracting the detent so that when the retraction mechanism is actuated the detent no longer engages the ridge of the socket.
