  • Publication number: 20110056505
    Abstract: A multi-functional hair brush comprising an elongate body including a handle segment and a bristle segment. The bristle segment of the multi-functional hair brush includes at least two types or styles of bristles, each performing a separate and different function in styling hair. In one embodiment, the multi-functional hair brush includes a round brush bristled in two different ways to perform two different functions. The two different brislings may include first bristles on a first half of the round brush to start and straighten a difficult hair, and second bristles on a second and opposite half of the round brush to finish styling the hair. In another embodiment, the handle segment of the hair brush includes an off-set handle. The off-set handle provides improved feel and comfort in handling the hair brush while styling hair.

  • Publication number: 20100307519
    Abstract: A hairbrush for styling hair has a brush head releasably connected to a rod rotatably mounted on a handle portion of the hairbrush and having a handle. The brush head has a plurality of spaced apart bristles for insertion between strands of the hair and gripping the strands therebetween. As the rod, and therefore the brush head are rotatable relative the handle, the brush head, with strands of hair gripped thereon, can be rotated as the handle is moved towards the head of a person whose hair is being styled, thus causing the strands of hair to be rolled around brush head, without requiring cumbersome twisting of the handle. A spring facilitates rotation in an opposite second direction and unrolling of the strands of hair off the brush head. A locking pin enables locking and unlocking of the rod and brush head to prevent and enable rotation thereof.
