Hair sculpting device

Abstract

A hair sculpting device that creates a wave-like pattern of hair by utilizing a plurality of long and short bristles in a repeating pattern, while penetrating the user's scalp to release oils that cultivate hair follicles in a wave like pattern.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(7) As used in the description herein and throughout the claims that follow, the meaning of “a,” “an,” and “the” includes plural reference unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

(8) As used herein, the term “about” in conjunction with a numeral refers to a range of that numeral starting from 10% below the absolute of the numeral to 10% above the absolute of the numeral, inclusive.

(9) As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term “hair sculpting device” is intended to include both a brush and a device. Therefore, the terms “hair sculpting device,” “brush,” and “device” may be used interchangeably.

(10) The present invention relates to a hair sculpting device used to style hair in a wave-like pattern while penetrating the scalp to distribute oil throughout the hair follicles. The device is configured to provide different lengths of bristles such that when a user is employing the device to her/his hair, the different bristle levels cause varying (different) orientation of hair follicles so they won't lay flat rather create a wavelike pattern in the user's hair.

(11) FIGS. 1-3 are exemplary embodiments of hair sculpting device 100. In one exemplary embodiment, device 100 comprises handle 20, head portion 30, wherein head portion 30 comprises top surface 50, bottom surface 60, and plurality of apertures 16, wherein plurality of apertures 16 comprise plurality of bristles 40. In one embodiment, top surface 50 is flat. In another embodiment, plurality of bristles 40 protrudes through plurality of apertures 16 in flat surface 50 of head portion 30. Handle 20 is integrally attached to head portion 30. In one embodiment, plurality of bristles 40 comprises bristles of different lengths. In an exemplary embodiment, short bristles 13 are about 4 mm to 7 mm long, medium bristles 14 are about 6 mm to 9 mm long, and long bristles 15 are about 8 mm to 11 mm long. In one embodiment, top surface 50 comprises about 70 to 90 apertures. In one exemplary embodiment, head portion 30 is configured to hold about 25 to 40 bristles. One of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate other lengths and different number of bristles based on the dimensions of device 100.

(12) In an embodiment, plurality of bristles 40 comprises bristles of differing lengths arranged to form a repeating pattern of short bristles 13, medium bristles 14, and long bristles 15, wherein short bristles 13, medium bristles 14 and long bristles 15 comprise a wave like pattern, as depicted in FIGS. 1 and 3. In another embodiment, short bristles 13, medium bristles 14, and long bristles 15 comprise a random pattern (not shown). In yet another embodiment, short bristles 13, medium bristles 14, and long bristles 15 comprise a staggered pattern, wherein short bristles 13 are always shorter than medium bristles 14, and medium bristles 14 are always shorter than long bristles 15 (see FIG. 1). In another embodiment, plurality of bristles 40 are arranged in a single row with long bristles 15 next to medium bristles 14, which in turn are adjacent to short bristles 13 and this pattern of bristles (i.e., long next to medium next to short) is repeated throughout device 100. Such rows are arranged side-by-side to create a wave-like pattern as depicted in FIG. 4.

(13) FIG. 5a depicts the collective bristle height of an exemplary embodiment wherein short bristles 13, medium bristles 14, and long bristles 15 comprise a specific collective height to enable a user to create a wave-like pattern. As provided in FIG. 5a, plurality of apertures 16 are arranged in a symmetrical pattern comprising twelve rows and seven columns (see FIG. 5). As illustrated in FIG. 5, in an embodiment, Row 1 column 1 comprises plurality of bristles 40 wherein the collective height of bristles 40 is 10 mm. In this embodiment, Row 2 column 1 comprises plurality of bristles 40 wherein the collective height of bristles 40 is 7 to 9 mm.

(14) In an embodiment, handle 20 and head portion 30 are manufactured from wood such as oak, pine, or other woody material, or any combination thereof. In an embodiment, head portion 30 is about 2 to 4 inches wide. In yet another embodiment, handle 20 is about 2 to 4 inches wide and about 6 to 8 inches in length.

(15) In an embodiment, head portion 30 is soaked in canola oil for 24 hours to condition plurality of bristles 40. In one embodiment, plurality of bristles 40 are manufactured from material such as boar hair, bristle bird hair, porcupine hair, trinity snail hair, or any combination thereof.

(16) Thus, specific embodiments of a hair sculpting device and a method to employ such device for brushing to release oils while creating a wave-like pattern have been disclosed. It should be apparent, however, to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced.
