(54) Hair brush


(57) The hair brush (12) includes an elongated member having a handle segment (13) and a bristle substrate segment (14). The bristle substrate defines a cylindrical core having a smoothly curve, concave central region (16) and radially larger end regions (18, 20). A plurality of bristles (25) are attached over the bristle substrate. In a preferred embodiment, the bristles have substantially equal length such that the outer peripheral portions of the plurality of bristles define a smooth curve, concave shape complementary (50) to the concave central region (16) of the bristle substrate. The bristles are further segmented into groups of small bundles and these bundles are disposed over the peripheral surface of the bristle substrate in a series (31). Each series of bristle bundles are axially spaced apart in a common radial plane passing through the axial center line of the brush. A rectangular bristle substrate (70) with a concave shape (74) is also disclosed herein.
