Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional hair styling devices and brushes are often hair style-specific, requiring multiple tools and are complex to use, and those designed for curly hair often increase frizz and reduce hair volume and definition.

Innovation Solution

A hair brush with a brush head featuring a plurality of channels and bristles, where the channels extend from the top to the bottom surface of the brush head, enhancing wave, curl, and coil formation while minimizing frizz and promoting hair smoothness.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional hair styling devices and brushes are used, then multiple devices are needed to achieve different hair styles, but the device complexity and ease of operation worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehair style versatilityVSAvoidnumber of devices
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The brush head is designed with multiple functional surfaces that can perform different hair styling functions. The first surface has bristles for detangling and smoothing, the second surface has the channel structure for wave and curl formation, and the third surface provides additional styling options. This allows a single brush to replace multiple specialized styling devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing devices directed specifically to curly hair are used, then wave and curl formation is improved, but frizz increases and hair smoothness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurly hair styling capabilityVSAvoidfrizz
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The brush head features different surfaces with specialized properties: the first surface has bristles optimized for detangling and smoothing without frizz, the second surface has the channel structure specifically designed for wave and curl formation, and the third surface provides additional styling functions. Each surface is optimized for its specific function to achieve both curl formation and frizz reduction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Object-affected harmful factors

If conventional brushes are used, then hair smoothing is achieved, but wave and curl definition is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehair smoothnessVSAvoidwave and curl definition
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The brush head is divided into multiple distinct surfaces, each with specialized bristle patterns and channel structures. The first surface provides smoothing functionality, while the second surface with its channel structure specifically enhances wave and curl definition. This segmentation allows both smoothing and curl definition to be achieved without compromising either function.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
