Heated hair-straightening brush

Abstract

A hair-straightening brush comprising a base and a plurality of pairs of heated surfaces positioned along the base closely together to tightly engage user's hair therebetween to modify structure of the hair from curly to straight by moving the brush along the engaged hair. The heated surfaces may be defined by heated filaments extending from the base and operatively connected to a heating element within the brush. In some embodiments, the heated surfaces are defined by heated strips extended from the base and operatively connected to a heating element within the brush.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to devices for temporarily straightening curly hair and reducing such hair condition commonly known as frizz.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Straightening one's naturally curly hair typically takes a large amount of time and requires the use of multiple tools. However, naturally curly hair that has been temporary straightened return to the original curly structure when exposed to high humidity. Therefore, it is desirable to have a portable device for straightening hair in the event of exposure to high humidity such as rain, snow or other conditions which cause elevated humidity in the air. It is desirable to have a hair-straightening tool that permits quick retouching of one's naturally curly hair to correct the effects of high humidity and return hair to the desirable straight structure in a brief period of time throughout the day.[0003]There have been few devices available that have been made with the intention to solve th...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a device for straightening hair that includes a heated base plate and heated filaments. The heated filaments have a fixed end and a movable free end, allowing them to engage with the user's hair. The heated filaments are spaced close enough for the user's hair to pass through. The device also includes non-heated bristles to help straighten the hair. The ceramic surfaces of the heated base plate and filaments provide a gentle and effective way to straighten hair.

Problems solved by technology

Straightening one's naturally curly hair typically takes a large amount of time and requires the use of multiple tools.

However, naturally curly hair that has been temporary straightened return to the original curly structure when exposed to high humidity.

There have been few devices available that have been made with the intention to solve the aforementioned problems.

However, while such devices are portable and readily operable without the need for a power outlet, the use of straightening irons takes a significant amount of time which may not be available to a person with a busy schedule.

Any of such brushes by itself would not sufficiently straighten naturally curly hair.

These devices, however, fall short at allowing quick on-the-go touch up of naturally curly hair to maintain the desired temporary straight structure.
