Abstract

A hair-penetrating shield 220 comprises a tooth array having top 280 and bottom 290 surfaces. In some embodiments, for a majority of the teeth, a cross section of each tooth (for example, triangular in shape) has an asymmetric width profile such that the tooth cross section, on average, is narrower near the top of the tooth and wider near the bottom of the tooth. In some embodiments, a ratio between: i) a first average tooth width describing the average tooth width below the top-bottom midpoint; and ii) a second average tooth width describing the average tooth width above the top-bottom midpoint is at least 1.2, or at least 1.6. In some embodiments, a non- viscous hair-coloring agent is dispensed as a mist over the top of the surface of the shield so as to color roots of hair passing through the spaces between the teeth of the user's hair. In some embodiments, closely-spaced teeth of the hair penetrating shield protect the user's scalp from the non-viscous hair-coloring agent. Related methods and kits are disclosed herein.

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a hairbrush for detangling human or animal hair. In some embodiments, the hairbrush includes a field of bristles where bristle height is substantially random and substantially independent of position on the hairbrush. In some embodiments, within the bristle field, the bristle width and/or the bristle material may vary between bristles - for example, substantially randomly with respect to position and/or in a manner that is correlated with bristle height.

IPC Classes  ?

• A45D 24/04 - Multi-part combs
• A46B 9/02 - Position or arrangement of bristles in relation to surface of the brush body, e.g. inclined, in rows, in groups
