Abstract
A hairbrush construction having an elongate body with a grip portion thereof for holding and manipulating the brush and employs bristle elements carried by the body to extend away from one side. A tapered end portion is carried at the leading end of the body and serves to readily enter, gradually separate and lift a shock of hair of a person as the end portion passes into the hair. The end portion is tapered as viewed in both elevation and plan to form a substantially pointed end to the entering portion. In one embodiment the end portion is readily releasably coupled to the end of the body and can be disposed in a plurality of positions relative thereto. According to another embodiment the hairbrush includes a bristle unit carried in a receiver portion of the body so as to move between readily projected and retracted positions relative to the body of the brush.
