Volume and curl enhancing hairbrush

Abstract

A hairbrush includes a main body, a first set of bristles, a second set of bristles, and a handle extending from the main body. Preferably, the hairbrush will have bristle sockets or the like arranged along the main body permitting a plurality of bristles to be inserted into each of the sockets. The bristles of the first set of bristles are substantially longer than the bristles of the second set of bristles. Furthermore, the bristles of the first set of bristles and the bristles of the second set of bristles will be of a different type. The first set of bristles and the second set of bristles can be arranged in a stacked helical pattern around the main body. In other embodiments, the first set of bristles and the second set of bristles can be arranged on flat hairbrushes. In use, the first set of bristles reach to the scalp and lift strands of hair up from the scalp, and the second set of bristles then smooth these strands. The result is to produce volume and luxurious hair.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hairbrush, comprising:
 a main body;   a first set of bristles;   a second set of bristles; and   a handle extending from the main body;   wherein the first set of bristles and the second set of bristles are of different types, and the first set of bristles and the second set of bristles are arranged along the main body in discrete channels.   
     
     
         2 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of bristles and the second set of bristles extend outwardly from one side of the main body. 
     
     
         3 . The hairbrush of  claim 2 , wherein the first set of bristles are on average of a greater length than the second set of bristles. 
     
     
         4 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein only the first set of bristles include bristles having ball tips. 
     
     
         5 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the second set of bristles is of the same type of bristle. 
     
     
         6 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the second set of bristles is natural bristle. 
     
     
         7 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the first set of bristles is a blend of boar bristles and plastic bristles. 
     
     
         8 . The hairbrush of  claim 7 , wherein the first set of bristles further includes plastic bristles having ball tips. 
     
     
         9 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of bristle sockets arranged along one side the main body, each of the bristle sockets holding a plurality of bristles. 
     
     
         10 . The hairbrush of  claim 1 , wherein the main body is substantially flat. 
     
     
         11 . The hairbrush of  claim 10 , wherein groups of the first set of bristles and groups of the second set of bristles are arranged alternately in horizontal rows. 
     
     
         12 . The hairbrush of  claim 10 , wherein groups of the first set of bristles and groups of the second set of bristles are arranged alternately and concentrically. 
     
     
         13 . The hairbrush of  claim 10 , wherein groups of the first set of bristles and groups of the second set of bristles are arranged alternately along protrusions, wherein air gaps exist between the protrusions. 
     
     
         14 . The hairbrush of  claim 13 , wherein a central protrusion of the protrusions includes bristles of both the first set of bristles and the second set of bristles.
