Detachable hairbrush

A hair curling system comprising:

• a handle;
• a socket tool extending from said handle, said socket tool having a plurality of surfaces;
• a detent protruding from one of the plurality of surfaces of said socket tool;
• a retraction mechanism for retracting said detent;
• a plurality of curlers, each of said curlers having a central core;
• a socket formed in the end wall of the central core of each of said curlers, said socket being sized and shaped to receive said socket tool;
• and
• a ridge formed in said socket, whereby said detent engages said ridge when said socket tool is inserted in said socket, and whereby said detent does not engage said ridge when said detent is retracted by said retraction mechanism.

A method for curling hair comprising the steps of:

• providing a handle having a polygonal socket tool extending therefrom, the socket tool having a plurality of surfaces and also having a ball detent protruding through one of the plurality of surfaces;
• providing a plurality of curlers having a central core, the central core having an end wall with a socket formed therein, the socket having a plurality of walls and being sized and shaped to receive the socket tool of the handle such that the surfaces of said socket tool contact the walls of said socket thereby inhibiting said brush head from rotating about said handle;
• attaching the handle to one of the plurality of curlers by inserting the socket tool of the handle into the socket of the one of the plurality of curlers such that the ball detent engages a ridge formed in the socket thereby inhibiting separation of said brush head from said handle before detachment is desired;
• rolling the one of the plurality of curlers attached to the handle into the hair;
• detaching the handle from the one of the plurality of curlers rolled into the hair;
• and
• attaching the handle to another of the plurality of curlers, rolling the another of the plurality of curlers into the hair, detaching the handle from the another of the plurality of curlers, and repeating such steps until a desired number of curlers are rolled into the hair.
