Abstract
A modular brush for applying hair coloring in a user-selected pattern includes a brush body and a plurality of detachable bristle modules. The bristle modules have tightly packed bristles that retain a volume of hair treatment solution, such as dye after the bristles have been dipped into a supply of the solution. The modules may be arranged to achieve the user-selected pattern of hair coloring. The supply or number of supplies of the solution may be provided by a modular tray.

A Modular brush for applying hair coloring in a user-selected pattern comprising,
- a brush body, said brush body having a length and a width,
- a plurality of polygonal bristle modules, each bristle module having a plurality of generally planar sides, at least some of said bristle modules having a pattern of closely packed bristles on each of a plurality of said planar sides, each of said patterns having a width perpendicular to said length of said brush body, adjacent patterns of bristles on adjacent planar sides of a bristle module having a widthwise spacing therebetween said bristles within each pattern of bristles having coterminous outer ends, and
- means for selectively arranging said plurality of bristle modules on said brush body to form a desired bristle configuration, whereby said patterns of bristles and widthwise spacings may be employed to form patterns of hair coloring.
A modular brush comprising,
- a brush body,
- a plurality of bristle modules releasably secured to said brush body to form a multi-sided configuration in which sides connect to form a continuous exterior, with bristle patterns projecting outwardly from a plurality of sides, said sides being planar, each bristle module having at least one array of bristles, each bristle pattern having generally coterminous bristles, and
- a spacer module releasably secured to said brush body between first and second bristle modules of said plurality of bristle modules to provide spaces along said bristle patterns on said plurality of sides,
- wherein said bristle patterns may be varied by rearrangement of said bristle modules and said spacer module along said brush body.
