Portable hair styling device with massaging bristles and formulation dispenser

Abstract

A hair and scalp treatment device that comprises a dispenser connected to a cartridge, wherein the cartridge comprises a formulation; a plurality of tips on the device, wherein the tips have at least one opening to dispense the formulation; and a controller configured to control the dispensing of the formulation through one or more tips individually.

the embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 
     
         1 . A hair and scalp treatment device, comprising:
 a dispenser connected to a cartridge, wherein the cartridge comprises a formulation;   a plurality of tips on the device, wherein the tips have at least one opening to dispense the formulation; and   a controller configured to control the dispensing of the formulation through one or more tips individually.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the controller controls opening the tips to dispense the formulation in a pattern and closes the tips that do not lie in the pattern. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the controller dispenses formulation only through tips that are sensed to be in contact with skin. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the dispenser includes a nebulizer to dispense the formulation as a mist. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the tips are arranged on a brush head. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the tips include a first and second hollow chamber. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to dispense the formulation through selected tips, but not all tips, the selected tips are arranged to dispense the formulation in a cone pattern or a fan pattern or both cone and fan patterns. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a camera and a diagnosis module, wherein the diagnosis module is configured to diagnose a scalp or hair condition based on images received from the camera. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the device is configured to replace cartridges. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more LEDs on the device, wherein the LEDs are controlled to deliver a selected wavelength and power. 
     
     
         11 . A hair and scalp treatment device, comprising:
 a plurality of tips on the device, wherein the tips include actuators that vibrate the tips in a first axis; and   a controller configured to control the vibration of the tips individually.   
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the tips comprise a second actuator to vibrate the tips in a second axis. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the tips comprise a third actuator configured to vibrate the tips in a third axis. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the actuators comprise a shape memory alloy or a piezoelectric material or a combination. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the controller is configured to select which of the plurality of tips to vibrate. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the actuator comprises a pair of piezoelectric materials placed opposite from each other. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the tips comprise two hollow chambers extending the length of the tip. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the tips are conductive. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the tips are attached to a brush head, wherein the brush head is statically connected to the device, and the tips vibrate without the brush head oscillating.
