Portable braid releasing devices and methods for the use thereof. The devices and methods disclosed herein may be suitable for releasing, loosening, or undoing hair braids worn on the head of a user. In some embodiments, said devices may include a narrow body disposed between two ends, and a recessed portion disposed on a length of the body, wherein the two ends include a first end opposite a second end, and wherein at least one of the two ends is tapered. Methods for using said devices may include inserting the first or second of a device into a braid of a wearer, gliding the device toward the end of the braid, and repeating this motion until the braid is loosened and/or undone to a desired level.

A formula delivery appliance generally includes a formula delivery head having features to mix, direct, and distribute formulation through nozzles to a desired location, such as the hair or scalp of a user. In this regard, the formula delivery head may include a plurality of nozzles configured to discharge the formulation at a desired flow rate. In some instances, the flow rate across the plurality of nozzles is controlled such that each nozzle has a flow rate within a specified percentage of the average flow rate across the plurality of nozzles.

A protective hairstyling device including a mitt-styled glove having a palm portion and a plurality of finger stalls or elements coupled to the palm portion. The palm portion includes a palmar side panel and a dorsal side panel, where the palmar side panel is coupled to the dorsal side panel along an outer periphery. Each finger element includes an inner finger panel and an outer finger panel, where the inner finger panel is coupled to the outer finger panel along an outer edge. The palmar side panel includes a series of nodules, and the inner finger panel of each finger element includes a series of prongs.

A cosmetic applicator for applying a product including a cosmetic, care, or pharmaceutical product onto the keratinous substrate. The cosmetic applicator comprises an applicator head and wherein the applicator head further comprises an applying member. The applying member includes at least one main face which is bounded by two opposing lateral edges. At least a portion of the one of the at least two lateral edges includes at least four parallel incisions which make a non-zero angle with a central longitudinal axis of the cosmetic applicator. The at least four parallel incisions form at least three parallel applicator tabs on the applying member.

Most methods of hair styling requires the use of gels, electric tools, or heavy and dangerous hot-irons. The invention I made alters the structure of the teeth in combs/brushes to create friction by adding edges (of various shapes and sizes) to the teeth to rob against the hair as the hair is being combed/brushed thus causing friction and creating heat. The heat created and the force of the friction of the Designer Comb straightens the hair for all hair types but for 3 b hair and kinkier it also flattens the hair so people with afros can simply comb up the sides of their hair to get a high-top hair style.

There is provided a computer-implemented method for generating an optimized hairstyle guide for use with a hair clipper. The method comprises acquiring (202) a plurality of reference points for mapping a hairstyle onto the head of a subject, receiving (204) a first user input for adjusting at least one of the relative position and the hair length value of a selected reference point, adjusting (206), based on the first user input and one or more predetermined rules, at least one of the relative position and the hair length value of one or more non-selected reference points, and generating (208) an optimized hairstyle guide for mapping the hairstyle.
