Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a hair dyeing apparatus and more particularly, a hair dyeing apparatus with a brush applying colorant and a comb entangling the hair.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Hair dyeing is used to give unique look to the hair by partially or fully changing the hair. In general, a hair dyeing process can be performed according to the following steps. First, ingredients for the colorant are mixed in the separate bottle until they are well combined. Second, the colorant is applied onto the hair with a brush. Then, the hair on which the colorant is applied can be entangled with a comb. After leaving the colorant in the hair for a while and rinsing the hair, the hair color can be changed.

Generally, a brush applying the colorant and a comb entangling the hair are separate apparatuses, which makes the hair dyeing process complicated and inconvenience. In order to solve these problems, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2009-0005692 suggests a comb for a hair coloring. It discloses a comb for a hair coloring comprising: a main toothcomb part 20′ having different sizes of tooth in a front of the comb, a sliding guide groove 50′ formed in a lateral side between the main tooth comb part 20′ and the opposite part thereof; a parting toothcomb 30′ formed in the end of a handle configured in the opposite side of the sliding guide grove 50′, and the handle 10′ having a plurality of acupressure bumps. The comb comprises a dyeing brush disposed in the edge or the lateral side of the main toothcomb part. With a combination of the dyeing brush and the toothcomb part, this structure enables a hair dyeing process quick.

However, according to this conventional structure, as the dyeing brush is formed in the lateral side of the toothcomb part, the dyeing brush or the toothcomb part can interfere with the hair. Thus, when applying the colorant onto the hair with the dyeing brush, the hair is tangled with the toothcomb part. Likewise, when combing the hair with the toothcomb part, the hair is tangled with the dyeing brush.

In addition, according to the prior art, a user has to make the colorant by mixing ingredients in a separate bottle. A user also has to take a small amount of the colorant from the bottle with the dyeing brush and bring it onto the hair. During this process, the colorant is spilt and dropped on skin, clothes, or floor, which causes skin problems and leaves colorant stains.

The present invention provides a hair dyeing apparatus that integrates a bottle for mixing the colorant ingredients, a brush for applying the dye, and a comb as one body. According to this structure, a user does not need to prepare for a separate bottle and take a certain amount of ingredient from the product, which enables convenient use. In addition, this structure prevents from drips and spills of the colorant. Furthermore, an individual as well as a professional hairdresser can evenly apply the colorant onto the hair.

Therefore, according to the hair dyeing apparatus of the present invention, a user can evenly apply the colorant on the hair and perform a hair dyeing process quick and easy with one integrated body of a bottle, a comb, and a brush.
