Abstract

An applicator for cleansing and conditioning hair is provided comprising a brush and a removable pad.

Claims

1. A two-component hair brush comprising self-supporting bristles made of plastic or other suitable material and extending outwardly from said brush in a predetermined pattern and a removable pad having apertures therein arranged in the same pattern as said bristles so that when said pad is mounted transversely on the outer ends of said bristles the latter will penetrate through said apertures sufficiently to separate strands of hair and hold said pad in place during use but permit the ready removal of and replacement of said pad merely by pulling said pad outwardly away from said bristles.

2. A brush as claimed in claim 1 in which said pad is made from an absorbent material capable of removing oil and dirt from hair.

3. A brush as claimed in claim 1 in which said pad is impregnated with a hair conditioner.

4. A brush as claimed in claim 1 in which said pad is reversible.

5. A brush as claimed in claim 1 in which said bristles extend through said apertures in said pad 1/16 inch to 1/4 inch.

6. A brush as claimed in claim 1 in which at least some of said bristles contain an offset portion to limit the penetration of the bristles through said apertures.

7. A process of cleansing and conditioning hair which comprises brushing the hair with a brush having a perforated pad mounted transversely of bristles extending outwardly from said brush and through said perforations so that when the brush is applied to the hair the bristles extend through the perforations in said pad sufficiently tO separate the strands of hair and the pad contacts the hair, and thereafter removing said pad from said brush.
