Abstract: The Detangle hairbrush addresses the problem of removing the tangles from one's hair without pulling the hair loose from your scalp by moving the bristles in the same direction at the same time in a rapid back and forth motion the bristles will shake the strands of hair loose from the tangle instead of pulling them free from one's head as in the case of the fixed bristle hairbrush. The hairbrush handle consist of a cylinder or square shaped grip to accommodate the batteries, motor, gears, and pushrod that make up the drive system for the bristle plate. The head portion of the handle has C-shaped channels protruding downward from the long sides of the rectangular shaped head of the handle having the channels parallel and pointing toward the center creating rails for the bristle plate to ride on.
