         5 . The dispensing brush of  claim 4 , wherein said plurality of dispenser openings is longitudinally aligned along a central axis of said top surface of said head portion, said openings being centrally located between said multiple linear patterns of bristles.  
     
     
         6 . The dispensing brush of  claim 1 , wherein said fill aperture has a diameter of at least 0.25 inches (0.635 cm).  
     
     
         7 . The dispensing brush of  claim 1  wherein at least one of said plurality of dispenser openings includes a surrounding collar, said collar elevated a predetermined height above said top surface of said head portion.  
     
     
         8 . The dispensing brush of  claim 7 , wherein said predetermined height is at least 0.125 inches (0.3175 cm).  
     
     
         9 . The dispensing brush of  claim 4 , wherein said reservoir is adapted to receive a fluid through said fill aperture.  
     
     
         10 . The dispensing brush of  claim 5 , wherein said plurality of dispenser openings is adapted to dispense a fluid from said reservoir.  
     
     
         11 . A method for applying a fluid to a head of hair consisting of the steps: 
 providing a head of hair;    providing a dispenser brush, said brush including a handle portion and a head portion; said head portion including a first end and a second end; said first end of said head portion connected proximally to said handle portion; said head portion having a top surface and a bottom surface, a plurality of bristles laterally extending from said top surface, a fluid reservoir located in said head portion, and a fill aperture; said fill aperture being in fluid communication with said reservoir, a plug removably engaging said fill aperture, said top surface of said head including a plurality of openings, said openings being in fluid communication with said reservoir;    filling the reservoir of the dispensing brush with a predetermined fluid; and    passing said bristles through said head of hair, thereby dispensing said predetermined fluid from the reservoir through said dispenser openings onto the head of hair.
