Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a hairbrush for detangling human or animal hair. In some embodiments, the hairbrush includes a field of bristles where bristle height is substantially random and substantially independent of position on the hairbrush. In some embodiments, within the bristle field, the bristle width and/or the bristle material may vary between bristles—for example, substantially randomly with respect to position and/or in a manner that is correlated with bristle height.

94) A hairbrush comprising a bristle-retaining surface and a bristle field of at least 100 bristles that are individually deployed to the bristle-retaining surface such that bristle heights vary in a substantially random manner and are substantially independent of bristle location on the bristle-retaining surface, the bristle field providing the following properties:
- (i) height properties such that at least 5 different heights that significantly differ from each other are represented;
- (ii) width properties such that each bristle has a width that is at least 0.5 mm;
- and
- (iii) bristle end properties such that at least 60% of the bristles have a rounded end.
