If conventional hair styling devices and brushes are used, then hair smoothing is achieved, but multiple devices are needed and they are complex to use

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveease of useVSAvoiddevice complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple styling functions (smoothing, curling, wave creation) into a single brush device with integrated bristle patterns and channel structures, eliminating the need for multiple separate styling tools

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The brush is designed with universal applicability for various hair types and styles through its multi-functional bristle configuration and channel system that can create different hairstyles with a single device

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Object-affected harmful factors

If existing devices directed specifically to curly hair are used, then curly hair styling is attempted, but frizz increases and hair volume and definition are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefrizz reductionVSAvoidhair volume and definition

Core Design Contradiction:

Object-affected harmful factorsVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The brush features localized functional zones with different bristle types and channel configurations in specific areas to address different hair needs - smoothing areas reduce frizz while defined areas maintain volume and curl definition

Inventive Principle:
