Abstract

Hair iron brushes are disclosed herein. In several embodiments, a brush base can include an arc-shaped bristle implanting surface, a plurality of brush bristle rows, and heating plate having a plurality of elongated heating surfaces. The brush bristle rows and the elongated heating surfaces can extend lengthwise along a longitudinal axis of the hair iron brush. The brush bristle rows can include a plurality of brush bristles made from a heat resistant material. The elongated heating surfaces and the brush bristle rows can be arranged in an alternating pattern across a width of the arc-shaped bristle implanting surface. In certain embodiments, the brush bristle rows and/or the heating plate can include a multi-element mineral powder and/or a far infrared radiating powder. The hair iron brush can be configured to provide both a brushing function and an ironing function that can impart curls or straighten hair.
