A dual-purpose hair styling and retention device including a curved handle having a top surface couplable to a user's head and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, the top surface and the bottom surface forming a hand gripping surface. The dual-purpose hair styling and retention device also includes a base pivotally coupled to the handle, the base having an upper surface and a bottom surface opposite the upper surface, the upper surface including a plurality of bristles coupled thereto. The dual-purpose hair styling and retention device further includes an extended configuration in which the handle extends from the base to expose the hand gripping surface and a hair-retention configuration in which the base is selectively coupled to the bottom surface of the handle to at least partially obstruct the hand gripping surface and expose the plurality of bristles.

A comb to collect and subsequently crush parasite having a body having a handleable portion, a row of closely spaced teeth projecting outwardly from the body, and a crusher engaged to one of the teeth or handle. The teeth are configured to collect the parasites when combed through hair, and the teeth present upper surfaces that form a planar first face. The crusher has at least one planar crushing surface configured to move to abut against the first face of the teeth to cause the parasites to be crushed between the at least one crushing surface and the first face of the teeth.

A brush is provided herein, the brush having heating elements dispersed on and protruding from its face and spacers arranged to maintain a specified distance between protruding ends of the heating elements and a scalp of a head that is being brushed. The spacers are dispersed on the brush's face at a specified density that assures maintaining the specified distance with respect to a resilience of the spacers.

An eyelash comb having a heating element which allows for easier separation and reapplication of mascara on the eyelashes.

The present invention is a tail comb that features a retractable tail and a toggle on the spine, allowing one-handed operation. The retractable tail allows for easier hair manipulation and can be securely stored inside the handle when not in use. This enables easy storage and transportation, making it ideal for use at home or on the go, and eliminating the need for a separate storage compartment or case. By extending the tail, the toggle is pushed to the bottom of the spine, enabling easier sectioning and parting of the hair. When the toggle slides to the top, the tail retracts and safely stores inside the handle, preventing injuries, tangles, or breakage of the comb. The toggle mechanism is user-friendly and suitable for professional hairstylists and everyday users. The patent application aims to protect the inventor's intellectual property and restrict unauthorized production, use, or sale of a similar tail comb.

An apparatus for styling hair includes a first electrode and a second electrode spaced apart from the first electrode. An electrolyte reservoir can be disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, and is configured to maintain a volume of an electrolyte between the first electrode and the second electrode. A control module is electrically coupled to the first electrode and the second electrode. The control module is operable to bias the first electrode at a first potential and the second electrode at a second potential to create an electrical potential difference between the first electrode and the second electrode. The electrical potential difference is configured to produce an electrolysis zone in the electrolyte disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The electrolysis zone is configured to style hair disposed in the electrolysis zone between the first electrode and the second electrode.

Described is an apparatus comprising: an ensemble of sensors including a moisture sensor to sense moisture content of hair, the moisture sensor positioned in a first housing to be in contact with the hair; and a processor to receive data associated with sensed moisture content and to transmit information related to the received data to another device, the processor positioned in a second housing different from the first housing.

A comb and a thermal protective glove are provided herein. In one embodiment, the comb includes: (1) a base having a top side and a bottom side, (2) a longitudinal row of teeth on the top side of the base and (3) an attacher having a coupling end connected to the bottom side of the base.
