[0051] Both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of theAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 features, as claimed. As used herein, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “has,” “having,” “includes,” “including,” or other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements, but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. In this disclosure, unless stated otherwise, relative terms, such as, for example, “about,” “substantially,” and “approximately” are used to indicate a possible variation of ±10% in the stated value. In this disclosure, unless stated otherwise, any numeric value may include a possible variation of ±10% in the stated value.

[0052] The terminology used below may be interpreted in its broadest reasonable manner, even though it is being used in conjunction with a detailed description of certain specific examples of the present disclosure. Indeed, certain terms may even be emphasized below; however, any terminology intended to be interpreted in any restricted manner will be overtly and specifically defined as such in this Detailed Description section.

[0053] Hair has many unique properties that impact the correct hair care routine, and tools, for it. For example, curly hair that is fine might need different tools for proper hair care than straight hair that is coarse. Additionally, the same hair type may need different tools depending on what is the present state of the hair (e.g., if the hair is wet, if it is being treated, if it is being cut, etc.).

[0054] Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide hair care tools that include a ring for easy storage or to permit carrying of the hair care tools. One or more embodiments of the hair care tools may be combs. In other embodiments, the hair care tools may be brushes. In some aspects, the combs may be wide-tooth combs. In other aspects, the combs may be thin-tooth combs and / or a combinationAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 of both wide-tooth and thin-tooth combs. Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide unique handles; for example, handles that are weighted, handles that are ergonomic, and / or handles that can be used to part hair. One or more hair care tools may include bristles or teeth to interact directly with hair.

[0055] FIG.1A depicts a top view of an exemplary hair care tool, according to one or more embodiments.

[0056] Hair brush 100 may include a securement device such as a ring 102, a handle 104 with a first end 106 and a second end 108, and a head 110. Head 110 may further include a body 112, bed 114 with holes 116, and bristles 118. Handle 104 may flare out such that first end 106 may be wider than second end 108, as shown in FIG.1A. That is, handle 104 may taper to increasingly smaller dimensions when moving from first end 106 towards second end 108. In other aspects, hair brush 100 may include a handle that has a substantially consistent dimension and shape moving from first end 106 toward second end 108 (e.g., the handle 104 does not flare out). Alternatively, first end 106 of handle 104 may be narrower than second end 108. Handle 104 may be hollow and / or composed of a material configured to reduce the weight of hair brush 100. Handle 104 may have one or more geometric features (e.g., finger grooves) to facilitate handling, use, and manipulation of hair brush 100. Handle 104 may have a substantially circular perimeter or cross section (as shown in FIG.1A). Thus, the cross sectional area at first end 106 may be larger than the cross sectional area at second end 108 (and the cross-section may change shapes along different portions of the handle 104, such as transitioning from a circular cross section into an ovular cross section). While FIG.1A illustrates a circular cross sectional area, handle 104 may include one or more other cross sectional areas, including rectangular, trapezoidal, etc., and / or combinations thereof.Attorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 Handle 104 may have a shape and / or length configured to facilitate a user’s distribution of product throughout the hair. Handle 104 may further be configured to facilitate a user twisting handle 104, thereby twisting hair brush 100. Handle 104 may be composed of a resilient, waterproof, and / or heat-resistive material configured to be utilized in a variety of environments.

[0057] Ring 102 may be coupled to the handle 104 at first end 106. Ring 102 may be made of a different material than handle 104 and / or could be made from the same material as handle 104; for example, ring 102 may be made of metal (e.g., an alloy such as Zamak) and / or have a metallic finish. Ring 102 may be made of a plurality of materials as well. In some embodiments, ring 102 may be configured to be illuminated. For example, ring 102 may be made of, or coated, in a suitable, glow- in-the-dark material. Ring 102 may be coupled to handle 104 by a hinge such that ring 102 is configured to move (e.g., pivot or rotate) between a closed position and an opened position, as well as one or more intermediate positions. In the closed position, ring 102 may abut (and / or be otherwise adjacent to) first end 106 (as shown in FIG.1A), such that the ring 102 is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the hair brush 100. In the open position, ring 102 may extend away from first end 106 (as shown in FIG.1B) such that the ring 102 is substantially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the hair brush 100. Ring 102 may be used to hang hair brush 100 on, e.g. a hook, in the open position.

[0058] Body 112 may be made of the same material as handle 104. Additionally, body 112 and handle 104 may be one, continuous piece. For example, handle 104 and body 112 may be molded at the same time to provide the entire base structure for hair brush 100. Thus, handle 104 and body 112 may be portions of the same structure. Handle 104 and body 112 may be made of a hard material (e.g.,Attorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 wood, metal, plastic, ABS, etc.) and / or may have a glossy finish. Handle 104 and body 112 may be composed of other materials and / or be composed of different materials than one another; for example, handle 104 may be metal, while body 112 is of a plastic and / or wood material. It is contemplated that handle 104 and body 112 may be any type of combination of materials that would provide a rigid structure. Body 112, similar to handle 104, may be composed of a resilient, waterproof, and / or heat-resistive material configured to be utilized in a variety of environments. Body 112 may surround bed 114 in a substantially rectangular shape. For example, as illustrated in FIG.1A, body 112 is a rectangular shape with rounded edges.

[0059] Bed 114 may include holes 116 throughout. Holes 116 may be hexagonal to provide a honeycomb design. Holes 116 may be circular, square, and / or any other shape to provide a unique design. Holes 116 may be configured to promote the flow of product, water, air, and / or a liquid through holes 116 and / or a user’s hair when a user brushes their hair. Holes 116 may be configured to assist in the stimulation of the scalp of the user, alone or in conjunction with bristles 118. Bed 114 may be dome-shaped such that the surface of bed 114 at the middle protrudes farther away from body 112 than at the edges (e.g., the surface of bed 114 slopes from the edges towards the middle), as shown in FIG.1C. The shape of bed 114 may be further configured to assist in the stimulation of the scalp of a user. The shape of bed 114 may assist a user in distributing product to the hair, overcoming knots in the hair, and / or reducing damage to the hair. Bristles 118 may extend perpendicularly from the surface of bed 114, such as substantially along a lateral axis, which may be about perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Bristles 118 may be made of a flexible and / or low-static material (e.g., silicone). In some aspects, bristles 118 may have a uniform length. In other aspects, bristles 118 may all be differentAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 lengths. In even further aspects, some bristles of bristles 118 may be the same length while others may be different. The shape of bristles 118 may assist a user in distributing product to the hair, overcoming knots in the hair, and / or reducing damage to the hair. Bristles 118 may have a singular shape (e.g., a same shape as one another) and / or a variety of shapes. Bristles 118 may be composed of a resilient, waterproof, and / or heat-resistive material configured to be utilized in a variety of environments. Bristles 118 may be composed of a material suited for reducing tangles to the hair, reducing damage to the hair, and / or promoting a desired texture in the hair. Bristles 118 may be arranged in a variety of patterns. In some embodiments, bristles 118 may be arranged in a symmetrical pattern on bed 114. In other embodiments, bristles 118 may be arranged in a desired shape on bed 114. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG.1A, bristles 118 may be arranged in parallel rows on bed 114 disposed between holes 116.

[0060] FIG.1B depicts a bottom view of the exemplary hair care tool according to FIG.1A.

[0061] As described above, ring 102 may be hingedly connected to the base structure of hair brush 100 at first end 106 of handle 104. Ring 102 may extend from a variety of locations along handle 104. A hinge connection between ring 102 and handle 104 may allow ring 102 to extend away from handle 104, thus providing a loop for storage and / or use (e.g., placing a hook through the loop, feeding a strap through the loop, etc.). Body 112 may fully surround and / or engulf an outer edge of bed 114, as seen from above in FIG.1A and from below in FIG.1B. In other words, body 112 may be formed around bed 114, and / or body 112 may include a top portion 142 and a bottom portion 144 that connect to one another with bed 114 therebetween, as shown in FIG.1E.Attorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304

[0062] FIG.1C depicts a cross-section view of the exemplary hair care tool according to FIG.1A.

[0063] Hair brush 100 may further include a logo, which may be located on the handle such that it can be easily read. The logo may be added to hair brush 100 via debossing, laser-etching, embossing, printing, stamping, or any method known in the art. Handle 104 may be at least partially hollow with a cavity 128 extending into handle 104 from first end 106. Cavity 128 may be in the shape of a truncated cone. Cavity 128 may provide a uniform thickness for the handle 104 and therefore may take a shape substantially similar to handle 104. Cavity 128 may alternatively be substantially cylindrical. Cavity 128 may be used to house a weight 148 (shown in FIG.1E), which may provide a better center of gravity for hair brush 100 which, in turn, may provide a better feel to the user and reduce hand fatigue. In some embodiments, the weight may be removable, and in other embodiments, the weight may be non-removable.

[0064] FIG.1D depicts a bottom view and a side view of the exemplary hair care tool according to FIG.1A.

Dimension 136 (e.g., the width of handle 104 at second end 108) may be in the range from approximately 0.75 inches to approximately 1.5 inches. Dimension 138 (e.g., the width of a hinge 150) may be in the range from approximately 0.25 inches to approximately 0.5 inches. Dimension 140 (e.g., the width of handle 104 at first end 106) may be in the range from approximately 0.9 inches to approximately 2 inches.

[0066] FIG.1E depicts an exploded view of the exemplary hair care tool according to FIG.1A. FIG.1F depicts a perspective view of the assembled hair care tool according to FIG.1E.

[0067] Bed 114 may be placed inside of body 112 such that a rim 146 may be entirely covered by body 112. Body 112 may be place inside of bottom portion 144 with top portion 142 then placed on top of bed 114. As seen in FIG.1E, rim 146 may be designed such that rim 146 is depressed into bed 114. The width of rim 146 may correlate to the width of body 112 that surrounds bed 114.

[0068] Additionally, weight 148 may be provided and stored within the handle 104 of hair brush 100. Weight 148 may be placed into handle 104 via first end 106. The hinge connection previously described may be provided by a hinge 150 as illustrated in FIG.1E. Hinge 150 may be a separate element received by an opening in the handle 104, and / or hinge 150 may be unitary with handle 104.

[0069] In some embodiments, for example, one or more portions of hair brush 100 is illuminated by a light source, e.g., an LED. In some embodiments, for example, one or more portions of hair brush 100 includes heating elements to control a temperature of the handle 104 and / or head 110. In some embodiments, forAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 example, one or more portions of hair brush 100 includes vibration causing elements for providing massaging or percussion features, weight 148 may be a battery, e.g., a AA battery, which powers the heater or vibrating element.

[0070] Hair brush 100 may be used for brushing hair. More specifically, hair brush 100 may be a detangling brush and / or a brush used for wet hair. Handle 104 provides a surface for a user to grasp hair brush 100. Handle 104 may flare out at an angle that provides an ergonomic grip. Bristles 118 may be made such that brushing wet hair will not damage (e.g., cause breakage) to the hair. For example, bristles 118 may be thin, long, and made of a low-static material. Ring 102 may enable hair brush 100 to be hung up for storage and / or use. For example, a user may place a hook through ring 102. Additionally, a user may simply use ring 102 to carry and / or hold hair brush 100.

[0071] FIG.2A and FIG.2B depict an exemplary hair care tool, according to one or more embodiments.

[0072] Hair comb 200 may include a ring 202, a handle 204 with a first end 206 and a second end 208, and a head 210. Head 210 may further include a body 212 and teeth 214. Handle 204 may include ring 202 at first end 206. Handle 204 may be made up of multiple disc-shaped elements or discs 254. For example, as seen in FIG.2A, handle 204 includes three substantially flattened discs 254 that are connected to one another in a straight line through the middle of each disc 254. The discs may also have additional structure (e.g., support 252) having increased thickness provided at the connection points to provide a more robust design that is less susceptible to breaking. Support 252 may be of the same material as handle 204 or may be a bonding material such as glue. Support 252 may be flat such that handle 204 is smooth and / or the discs 254 of handle 204 do not have bumps. AsAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 seen in FIG.2A, support 252 may be wider than the contact point of two discs 254 next to one another. Additionally, ring 202 may connect to one of the flattened discs 254 at first end 206. Handle 204 is provided in a straight line extending from body 212. This is further described with respect to FIG.2B. Ring 202 may be made of a different material than handle 204 (or could be made from the same material as handle 204); for example, ring 202 may be made of metal (e.g., an alloy such as Zamak) or have a metallic finish. Ring 202 may enable hair comb 200 to be hung up for storage and / or use. For example, a user may place a hook through ring 202. Additionally, a user may simply use ring 202 to carry and / or hold hair comb 200. Second end 208 of handle 204 may connect with body 212.

[0073] Body 212 may be made of the same material as handle 204. Additionally, body 212 and handle 204 may be one, continuous piece. For example, handle 204 (not including ring 202) and body 212 may be molded at the same time to provide the entire base structure for hair comb 200. Thus, handle 204 and body 212 may be portions of the same structure. Handle 204 and body 212 may be made of a hard material (e.g., wood, metal, plastic, ABS, etc.) and may also have a glossy finish. Handle 204 and body 212 may be other materials or not the same material; for example, handle 204 may be metal while body 212 is of a plastic and / or wood material. It is contemplated that handle 204 and body 212 may be any type of combination of materials that would provide a rigid structure. Body 212 may have a substantially ovular-shaped cross section. Alternatively, body 212 may have a substantially rectangular-shaped cross section. The cross section of body 212 may be numerous shapes, e.g., circular, square, etc.

[0074] Teeth 214 may extend from body 212 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of hair comb 200 (e.g., the direction handle 204 extendsAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 from body 212). Additionally, teeth 214 may extend from a different side of body 212 than handle 204. Teeth 214 may be thin, long elements that are made of the same material as body 212 and handle 204. Alternatively, teeth 214 may be made of a different material than body 212. Teeth may be made of a material that has low-static properties. Teeth 214 may be close to one another.

[0079] FIG.3A depicts an exemplary hair care tool, according to one or more embodiments.Attorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304

[0080] Hair comb 300 may include a body 302. Body 302 may include a head portion 304 and a handle portion 306. Body 302 may be made of a hard material (e.g., wood, metal, plastic, ABS, etc.) and may also have a glossy finish. In other embodiments, body 302 may include one or more geometric features such as, e.g., texturing, to improve gripping and manipulation of hair comb 300. Body 302 may be one piece such that head portion 304 and handle portion 306 are the same material. Head portion 304 and handle portion 306 may be other materials or not the same material; for example, handle portion 306 may be metal while head portion 304 is of a plastic or wood material. It is contemplated that head portion 304 and handle portion 306 may be any type of combination of materials that would provide a rigid structure. Head portion 304 may further include ring 316, teeth 318, and head end 320. Ring 316 may be made of a different material than body 302 (or could be made from the same material as body 302); for example, ring 316 may be made of metal (e.g., an alloy such as Zamak) or have a metallic finish. Ring 316 may enable hair comb 300 to be hung up for storage and / or use. For example, a user may place a hook through ring 316. Additionally, a user may simply use ring 316 to carry and / or hold hair comb 300. Body 302 at ring 316 may be wide enough such that ring 316 can be surrounded by body 302. Head end 320 may be the end at which head portion 304 and, more generally, body 302, terminates. As can be seen in FIG.3A, head end 320 may not be entirely straight. For example, head end 320 may be rounded by ring 316 and may extend substantially straight into a side of one of the teeth 318. Thus, head end 320 may include a side of one of the teeth 318.

[0081] Teeth 318 may extend away from head portion 304. Teeth 318 may be thick, long elements that are made of the same material as body 302. Alternatively, teeth 318 may be made of a different material that has low-staticAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 properties. The shape of teeth 318 may assist a user in distributing product to the hair, overcoming knots in the hair, and / or reducing damage to the hair. Teeth 318 may have a singular shape and / or a variety of shapes. Teeth 318 may be composed of a resilient, waterproof, and / or heat-resistive material configured to be utilized in a variety of environments. Teeth 318 may be composed of a material suited for reducing tangles to the hair, reducing damage to the hair, and / or promoting a desired texture in the hair. Teeth 318 may be arranged in a variety of patterns. Teeth 318 may be spaced apart from one another. For example, teeth 318 may be thicker and have wider gaps between one another than teeth 214. Teeth 318 may have a larger cross sectional area at the base where teeth 318 extend from head portion 304 than the cross sectional area at the tip of teeth 318 where they terminate. For example, teeth 318 may taper off while extending from head portion 304. Teeth 318 may also extend substantially straight. Teeth 318 may abut against handle portion 306; therefore, teeth 318 may be provided throughout the entire length of head portion 304, as shown in FIG.3A. In some aspects, teeth 318 may be all one, uniform length. For example, teeth 318 may extend from the same plane of body 302 and terminate in the same plane. In other aspects, teeth 318 may all be different lengths. In even further aspects, some teeth of teeth 318 may be the same length while others may be different. For example, some teeth of teeth 318 may extend from a different plane of body 302 than other teeth 318 and / or terminate in different planes as shown in FIGs.3A–3D. In some embodiments, teeth 318 may extend from body 302 in a configuration suited to conform to a user’s scalp, such that teeth 318 disposed on a bottom edge of body 302 may extend further into a user’s hair than teeth disposed on a top edge of body 302.Attorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304

[0082] Handle portion 306 may include a first side 308 and a second side 310. First side 308 and second side 310 may converge and meet at an end point 312. End point 312 may be pointed but slightly rounded. End point 312 may be sufficiently pointed to help part hair, such as while styling or treating. First side 308 and second side 310 may be offset from one another by an Angle A 314. Angle A 314 may be an acute angle. Angle A 314 may be an angle in the range of approximately 1 to approximately 20 degrees. As handle portion 306 tapers off and first side 308 and second side 310 meet at end point 312, first side 308 and second side 310 may become farther away from one another (e.g., body 302 become wider) as they move from end point 312 to end of handle portion 306 and / or end of body 302 at head end 320. In other words, body 302 may taper to increasingly smaller dimensions when moving from head end 320 towards end point 312. Second side 310 at the handle portion 306 may be rounded where second side 310 meets teeth 318, as seen in FIG.3A.

[0083] FIG.3B depicts different views of the exemplary hair care tool according to FIG.3A.

[0084] Hair comb 300 may further include a logo, which may be located on the body 302 such that it can be easily read. The logo may be added to hair comb 300 via debossing, laser-etching, embossing, printing, stamping, or any method known in the art. Dimension 324 (e.g., the diameter of an edge of ring 316 extending into body 302) may be approximately 1 inch to approximately 1.7 inches. Dimension 326 (e.g., the outer diameter of ring 316) may be 0.8 inches to 1.55 inches. Dimension 328 (e.g., the distance between the center lines of two teeth 318 next to one another) may be approximately 0.25 inches to approximately 0.45 inches. Dimension 330 (e.g., the width of teeth 318 at the tip) may be approximately 0.04Attorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 inches to approximately 0.1 inches. Dimension 332 (e.g., the height of hair comb 300) may be approximately 2.5 inches to approximately 6 inches. Dimension 334 (e.g., the diameter of ring 316) may be approximately 0.75 inches to approximately 1.3 inches. Dimension 336 (e.g., the thickness of hair comb 300) may be approximately 0.5 degrees to approximately 2 degrees. Dimension 338 (e.g., the angle of offset between first side 308 and second side 310; Angle A 314) may be approximately 1 degree to approximately 20 degrees, or more preferably approximately 7 degrees to approximately 15 degrees. Dimension 340 (e.g., the width of hair comb 300) may be approximately 0.2 inches to approximately 0.6 inches. Dimension 342 (e.g., the length of hair comb 300) may be approximately 6.5 inches to approximately 12.8 inches.

[0085] Hair comb 300 may be used for combing hair. More specifically, hair comb 300 may be used to detangle hair without creating unnecessary frizz. Hair comb 300 may be used to help massage skin while promoting healthy hair growth. Hair comb 300 may be used for both dry and wet hair. Hair comb 300 may be used for fine hair, coarse hair, or any type of hair. Preferably, hair comb 300 is used for curly hair but other hair types (e.g., wavy, straight, etc.) are contemplated in the present disclosure. Additionally, since hair comb 300 has wide gaps between teeth 318, hair comb 300 may be better suited for coarse hair. Handle portion 306, as discussed previously, may provide an additional function besides being a place a user can hold hair comb 300. As end point 312 may have a pointed shape, handle portion 306 may be used to part hair, to skim hair, etc. during treating, cutting, etc. Ring 316 may enable hair comb 300 to be hung up for storage and / or use. For example, a user may place a hook through ring 316. Ring 316 may extend from aAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 variety of locations along handle portion 306. Additionally, a user may simply use ring 316 to carry and / or hold hair comb 300.

[0086] FIG.4A depicts an exemplary hair care tool, according to one or more embodiments. FIG.4E depicts an exemplary hair care tool, substantially similar to the embodiment disclosed in FIG.4A, according to one or more embodiments.

[0087] Hair comb 400 may include a body 402. Body 402 may include a head portion 404 and a handle portion 406. Body 402 may be made of a hard material (e.g., wood, metal, plastic, ABS, etc.) and may also have a glossy finish. Body 402 may be one piece such that head portion 404 and handle portion 406 are the same material. Head portion 404 and / or handle portion 406 may be composed of a resilient, waterproof, and / or heat-resistive material configured to be utilized in a variety of environments. Head portion 404 and handle portion 406 may be other materials or not the same material; for example, handle portion 406 may be metal (e.g., an alloy such as Zamak) while head portion 404 is of a plastic or wood material. It is contemplated that head portion 404 and handle portion 406 may be any type of combination of materials that would provide a rigid structure. Handle portion 406 may be sized and / or shaped to assist a user in parting hair. In some embodiments, handle portion 406 may be relatively cylindrical. In some embodiments, handle portion 406 may be relatively frustoconical. Handle portion 406 may be relatively cylindrical and terminate in a relatively frustoconical shape to permit a user to create parts in the hair. The shape and / or material of handle portion 406 may assist a user in parting the hair in numerous directions and / or removing knots in the hair. In some embodiments, handle portion 406 may be flexible to prevent a user from experiencing discomfort when parting and / or detangling the hair. Handle portion 406 may be rigid to permit a user to draw distinct parting lines in theAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 hair. Head portion 404 may further include ring 416, teeth 418, and head end 420. Ring 416 may be made of a different material than body 402 (or could be made from the same material as body 402); for example, ring 416 may be made of metal (e.g., an alloy such as Zamak) or have a metallic finish. Ring 416 may enable hair comb 400 to be hung up for storage and / or use. For example, a user may place a hook through ring 416. Additionally, a user may simply use ring 416 to carry and / or hold hair comb 400. Head end 420 may be the end at which head portion 404 and, more generally, body 402, terminates. As can be seen in FIG.4A, head end 420 may not be entirely straight. For example, head end 420 may be rounded by ring 416 and may extend substantially straight into a side of one of the teeth 418. Thus, head end 420 may include a side of one of the teeth 418.

[0088] Teeth 418 may extend away from head portion 404. Teeth 418 may be thin, long elements that are made of the same material as body 402. Alternatively, teeth 418 may be made of a different material that has low-static properties. Teeth 418 may be close to one another. For example, teeth 418 may be thinner and have smaller gaps between one another than teeth 318. Teeth 418 may also extend substantially straight. Teeth 418 may abut against handle portion 406; therefore, teeth 418 are provided throughout the entire length of head portion 404, as shown in FIG.4A. In some aspects teeth 418 may be all one, uniform length. For example, teeth 418 may extend from the same plane of body 402 and terminate in the same plane. In other aspects, teeth 418 may all be different lengths. In even further aspects, some teeth of teeth 418 may be the same length while others may be different. For example, some teeth of teeth 418 may extend from a different plane of body 402 than other teeth 418 and / or terminate in different planes. As seen in FIG. 4A, since hair comb 400 is thin, ring 416 partially interferes with a portion of teethAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 418. A majority of teeth 418 (e.g., the teeth that are not directly below ring 416) may start in the same plane. Teeth 418 that are near ring 416 may start in different planes, in some embodiments partially circling ring 416 while providing enough body 402 between ring 416 and where the teeth begin. Further, as shown in FIG.4A, all of the teeth 418 may terminate in the same plane. The shape of teeth 418 may assist a user in distributing product to the hair, overcoming knots in the hair, and / or reducing damage to the hair. Teeth 418 may have a singular shape and / or a variety of shapes. Teeth 418 may be composed of a resilient, waterproof, and / or heat-resistive material configured to be utilized in a variety of environments. Teeth 418 may be composed of a material suited for reducing tangles to the hair, reducing damage to the hair, and / or promoting a desired texture in the hair. Teeth 418 may be arranged in a variety of patterns.

[0089] Handle portion 406 may include a first side 408 and a second side 410. First side 408 and second side 410 may converge and meet at an end point 412. End point 412 may be pointed but slightly rounded. However, end point 412 may still be pointed enough to help part hair, such as while styling or treating. End point 412 may be relatively rounded. In some embodiments, end point 412 may be relatively frustoconical. The shape and / or material of end point 412 may assist a user in parting the hair in numerous directions and / or removing knots in the hair. In some embodiments, end point 412 may be flexible to prevent a user from experiencing discomfort when parting and / or detangling the hair. End point 412 may be rigid to permit a user to draw distinct parting lines in the hair. First side 408 and second side 410 may be offset from one another by an Angle B 414. Angle B 414 may be an acute angle. Angle B 414 may be an angle in the range of 1 to 15 degrees. As can be seen in FIG.4A, Angle B 414 may be small enough that first side 408, when nearAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 head portion 404, is not above ring 416. In other words, the small Angle B 414 does not allow for a wide enough body 402 to house ring 416 within. Thus, to provide ring 416, a portion of body 402 circumferentially surrounds a portion of ring 416 to ensure ring 416 is entirely surrounded by body 402. In other words, body 402 bends around ring 416 causing first side 408 to have a small protrusion near head end 420.

[0090] As handle portion 406 tapers off and first side 408 and second side 410 meet at end point 412, first side 408 and second side 410 may become farther away from one another (e.g., body 402 become wider) as they move from end point 412 to end of handle portion 406 and / or end of body 402 at head end 420. In other words, body 402 may taper to increasingly smaller dimensions when moving from head end 420 towards end point 412. In some embodiments, handle portion 406 maintains a relatively constant diameter as it extends from first side 408 to second side 410. Second side 410 at the handle portion 406 may be rounded where second side 410 meets teeth 418, as seen in FIG.4A.

[0091] FIG.4B depicts different views of the exemplary hair care tool according to FIG.4A. FIG.4F depicts different views of the exemplary hair care tool according to FIG.4E.

[0092] Hair comb 400 may further include a logo, which may be located on the body 402 such that it can be easily read. The logo may be added to hair comb 400 via debossing, laser-etching, embossing, printing, stamping, or any method known in the art.

Dimension 424 (e.g., the height of teeth 418 without ring 416 interfering) of may be approximately 0.5 inches to approximately 1.3Attorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 inches. Dimension 426 (e.g., the length of hair comb 400) may be approximately 7 inches to approximately 12.5 inches. Dimension 428 (e.g., the width of hair comb 400 at head end 420) may be approximately 0.1 inches to approximately 0.4 inches. Dimension 430 (e.g., the width of hair comb 400 at end point 412) may be approximately 0.03 inches to approximately 0.1 inches. Dimension 432 (e.g., the outer diameter of ring 416) may be approximately 0.8 inches to approximately 1.5 inches. Dimension 434 may be 0.9 inches to approximately 1.75 inches. Dimension 436 (e.g., the outer diameter of ring 416) may be approximately 0.5 inches to approximately 1.1 inches. Dimension 438 (e.g., the angle of offset between first side 408 and second side 410; Angle B 414) may be approximately 1 degree to approximately 15 degrees, or more preferably approximately 1 degree to approximately 8 degrees. Dimension 440 (e.g., the distance from the location at which handle portion 406 and head portion 404 meet to the end point of teeth 418) may be approximately 0.6 inches to approximately 1.5 inches. Dimension 442 (e.g., the width of teeth 418) may approximately 0.02 inches to approximately 0.09 inches.

[0094] Hair comb 400 may be used for combing hair. More specifically, hair comb 400 may be used to detangle hair without creating unnecessary frizz. Hair comb 400 may be used to help massage skin while promoting healthy hair growth. Hair comb 400 may be used for both dry and wet hair. Hair comb 400 may be used for fine hair, coarse hair, or any type of hair. Since hair comb 400 has small gaps between teeth 418, hair comb 400 may be better suited for fine hair. Handle portion 406, as discussed previously, may provide an additional function besides being a place a user can hold hair comb 400. As end point 412 may have a pointed shape, handle portion 406 may be used to part hair, to skim hair, etc. during treating, cutting, etc. Ring 416 may enable hair comb 400 to be hung up for storage and / orAttorney Docket No.: 00431-0009-00304 use. For example, a user may place a hook through ring 416. Additionally, a user may simply use ring 416 to carry and / or hold hair comb 400.

[0095] Referring to all ring openings discussed in the present disclosure, while shown as a fully closed circular opening in the figures, numerous different configurations are also contemplated. For example, the ring openings may be partially closed such that a slit is formed to, e.g., allow material such as a purse strap and / or lanyard cord to be fed through the slit. In such configurations, the material surrounding the ring opening may exhibit some flexibility and / or compliance to enable materials to be fed through the slit. The ring opening may be a partially enclosed opening like a hook. The ring opening may be fully closed but include a latch-like mechanism, for example a carabineer, a spring snap hook, a trigger snap hook, or other related latches to, e.g., allow material into ring opening while also securing the material. Additionally, while ring opening is depicted as a circle, other shapes are contemplated. For example, ring opening may be polygonal, rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, a shape of a heart, a shape of a star, etc. Ring opening may even be a non-uniform shape or a combination of shapes. For example, ring opening may be a D-ring, e.g., ring opening may include a portion that is curved while another portion that is substantially straight. In other words, ring opening may be a semi-circle, more specifically a half circle.
