Abstract
A hair care device for use in untangling hair includes a body portion and a plurality of substantially parallel flexible bristles made of soft plastics material and projecting from the body portion. The bristles are arranged such that over at least a part of the area of bristles, some of the bristles are of shorter length. The bristles and the shorter length bristles are interspersed over the at least part of the area of bristles.
Claims19
A method of untangling hair, comprising:
- using a hairbrush including
- a body portion having a plurality of substantially parallel flexible bristles projecting therefrom,
- the plurality of bristles including bristles of at least two different lengths, shorter length bristles and longer length bristles, wherein each of the shorter length bristles is shorter than each of the longer length bristles, and
- the longer length bristles and the shorter length bristles arranged in alternating lines of longer length bristles and shorter length bristles,
- wherein when using the hairbrush, the longer length bristles release hair, that remains tangled, to an adjacent shorter length bristle when an end of the longer length bristle is bent sideways with respect to the body during use, due to the shorter length bristles having a length corresponding to a height of the longer length bristle when the end of the longer length bristle is bent sideways.

A method of untangling hair comprising using a hairbrush comprising:
- a body portion;
- a plurality of substantially parallel flexible bristles projecting from the body portion;
- the plurality of bristles including shorter length bristles and longer length bristles arranged in alternating rows of longer length bristles and shorter length bristles;
- the method including using the hairbrush by pressing and moving the hairbrush against tangled hair whereby longer length bristles bend sideways when engaging tangled hairs to position the free end of the longer length bristles at the free ends of shorter length bristles and to release hair that remains tangled to the shorter length bristles, whereby the shorter length bristles may untangle the hair that remains tangled.
