  • Patent number: 10888154
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing brush for applying a fluid to hair includes a plurality of bristles that is coupled to and extends from a housing. The bristles are tubular and are in fluidic communication with an interior space defined by the housing. Each of a plurality of holes is positioned in a respective bristle. A handle extends from a first end of the housing. A channel extends through the handle to the housing. A pump is positioned in the channel proximate to the housing and is in fluidic communication with the interior space. A reservoir is selectively insertable into the channel so that a nozzle of the reservoir sealably couples to an inlet of the pump. The pump is configured to selectively pump a fluid that is positioned in the reservoir through the interior space and the bristles to exit through the holes to apply the fluid to the hair.
