Hair Brush

Abstract

A hair brush comprising: a first half that includes a first brush head connected to a first handle; a second half that includes a second brush head connected to a second handle; a plurality of first bristles and second bristles attached to the first brush head and the second brush head, wherein the bristles are arranged in multiple groups in which each group includes a second bristle surrounded by multiple first bristles; and a hinge that connects the first half to the second half, wherein the hinge biases the hair brush in an open position.

         34 . The hair brush of  claim 22 , wherein the hair brush is configured to assume a closed position when force is applied to the first handle and the second handle. 
     
     
         35 . The hair brush of  claim 34 , wherein a portion of a user's hair is clamped between the first brush head and the second brush head when the hair brush is in the closed position. 
     
     
         36 . The hair brush of  claim 34 , wherein hair that resides at or near a center of a surface of the first brush head and the second brush head has relatively more force applied thereto than hair that resides at or near edges of the surface of the first brush head and the second brush head. 
     
     
         37 . The hair brush of  claim 24 , wherein the horizontal lattices and the vertical lattices are substantially perpendicular to each other. 
     
     
         38 . The hair brush of  claim 24 , wherein spaces are formed between the horizontal lattices and the vertical lattices. 
     
     
         39 . The hair brush of  claim 21 , wherein the first bristles are made from a different material than the second bristles.
