Abstract

This invention is in the field of hair brushes, and more particularly to hair brushes constructed using a glove as the base and spongy material as the bristles. An increasing number of men and women have elected to forgo using chemicals on their hair, instead opting for natural hairstyles. These natural hairstyles often require the use of unique hair styling equipment to produce a desired look. In particular, men and women with coarse hair have begun using a technique called “palm rolling” to curl the ends of their hair after it reaches a length of approximately 1.5 inches to 6 inches. This technique involves applying the palm of one's hand to the hair and rubbing in a circular motion to produce a swirl or curl pattern. The problem with this technique is that the palm does not contain the porous or rough surface required to manipulate or form the hair into the desired shape. This makes the process of forming the hair into a swirl or curl pattern very long and tedious. For the foregoing reasons, there is a need for a hair brush constructed using a glove as the brush head and a rigid spongy material affixed to the inside of the glove as the working surface of the brush head. This configuration will benefit the user by giving the users the ability to control the exact amount of pressure he applies to the hair. The user will also have the option of controlling the size of the area where the spongy material contacts with the hair. Further, the hair brush sponge glove alleviates the potential for fatigue from holding the sponge brush because the hand is secured inside the glove.
