Styling brush

Abstract

The disclosure provides for a heated hairbrush, said heated hairbrush comprising a first side of a base, a second side of a base, a tapered end, and a handle. The first side of the base provides for at least one set of projections and a heated surface. The heated surface can be located directly on the first side of the base or on an additional plate that is placed on top of the first side of the base. The projections can align into rows and columns on the first side of the base. The projections may extend from a plate or plurality of extensions. The second side of the base may include ridges that span the latitudinal axis of the base. The ridges can also align with the columns defined by the projections. The second side of the base can also comprise a heated surface which can heat an inner portion of the ridges.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hairbrush, comprising:
 a base having a front side and a back side;   a tapered end; and   a handle;   one or more sets of projections projecting from and away from the base on the front side; and   one or more ridges that project across a latitudinal axis of the hairbrush, away from the base on the back side.   
     
     
         2 . The hairbrush according to  claim 1 , wherein the one or more sets of projections align into one or more columns across a latitudinal axis of the hairbrush and one or more rows across a longitudinal axis of the hairbrush, and each of the one or more ridges aligns with one of the one or more columns of projections. 
     
     
         3 . The hairbrush according to  claim 2 , wherein the one or more sets of projections comprise one or more heated sets of projections and one or more non-heated sets of projections and wherein a length of the one or more heated sets of projections is 40-75% of the length of the one or more non-heated sets of projections. 
     
     
         4 . The hairbrush according to  claim 2 , wherein the one or more sets of projections comprises at least a first and second set of projections, where the first set of projections define a row and the second set of projections defined another row, where the row and another row are on opposing lateral portions of the base and comprise fully non-heated projections, and the first and second set of projections are configured to move relative to the base. 
     
     
         5 . The hairbrush according to  claim 4 , wherein at least a portion of the one or more non-heated sets of projections define an outer perimeter around the one or more heated sets of projections such that no projections from the heated sets of projections defines the outer perimeter. 
     
     
         6 . The hairbrush according to  claim 3 , wherein the base further comprises one or more heating elements that provide heat to the one or more heated sets of projections. 
     
     
         7 . The hairbrush according to  claim 6 , wherein the one or more sets of projections further comprises a partially heated set of projections in which a heated portion extends away from the base and a non-heated protection that extends further outward from the base than the heated portion, wherein the non-heated set of projections are fully non-heated, the heated set of projections are fully heated, and the partially heated set of projections are heated along a portion of one end and not heated along a portion of another end. 
     
     
         8 . The hairbrush according to  claim 7 , wherein the heated portion of the partially heated set of projections circumferentially surrounds the non-heated portion such that the non-heated portion extends through the heated portion. 
     
     
         9 . The hairbrush according to  claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of inserts in which the plurality of inserts support the plurality of projections, in which the plurality of inserts are coupled to the base by a plate such that the plurality of inserts are positioned between the plate and the base, and the plurality of projections extends from the plurality of inserts through cavities in the plate. 
     
     
         10 . The hairbrush according to  claim 9 , wherein a first set of columns of the one or more columns includes a heated projection, a non-heated projection, and a partially heated projection. 
     
     
         11 . The hairbrush according to  claim 10 , wherein a second set of columns of the one or more columns includes a non-heated projection and a partially heated projection. 
     
     
         12 . The hairbrush according to  claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of a first row of projections comprises alternating non-heated projections and partially heated projections. 
     
     
         13 . The hairbrush according to  claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of a second row of projections comprises alternating partially heated projections and fully heated projections. 
     
     
         14 . The hairbrush according to  claim 1 , wherein the one or more ridges comprise an interior portion that is adjacent to the base and heated and a terminal portion that is an exterior edge of the ridge and non-heated. 
     
     
         15 . A hairbrush, comprising:
 a first surface of a base;   a second surface of the base opposite the first surface; and   one or more inserts;   one or more extensions extending from the one or more inserts, the one or more extensions configured to align into one or more columns across a latitudinal axis of the hairbrush; and   one or more ridges that project from the second surface and across the latitudinal axis of the hairbrush and away from the first surface, the one or more ridges align with the one or more columns of extensions.   
     
     
         16 . The hairbrush according to  claim 15 , wherein the one or more extensions comprise one or more heated extensions along an entire length of the heated extension, one or more non-heated extensions along an entire length of the non-heated extension, and one or more partially heated extensions including a heated portion and non-heated portion along an entire length of the partially heated extension, wherein a length of the one or more heated extensions is 40-75% of the length of the one or more non-heated extensions. 
     
     
         17 . The hairbrush according to  claim 16 , wherein the first side of the base further comprises one or more upward projections that are heated and a length of the one or more upward projections is 40-75% of the length of the one or more extensions.
