Abstract
A fluid dispensing hairbrush with a regulation valve is disclosed for dispensing hair products onto a user'"'"'s hair and/or scalp, particularly viscous fluids, such as gel, mousse, or thick conditioners, in a drizzling manner. The valve is adjustable for use with various fluids depending upon viscosity levels, as well as amounts of fluid to dispense. Use of the hairbrush prevents a user from unwanted contact on a user'"'"'s hands with fluids. Many hair products can be sticky or cause dry skin on a user'"'"'s hands, and in some cases, a user'"'"'s skin may become irritated by a hair product that may not irritate the user'"'"'s scalp. Further, use of a fluid dispensing hairbrush can expedite one'"'"'s hair preparation routine substantially.
