Claim Text:
1. A hair care device for use in untangling hair comprising a body portion and projecting therefrom a plurality of substantially parallel flexible bristles made of a non-rigid plastics material, the entire plurality of bristles including bristles of two different lengths, shorter length bristles and longer length bristles wherein each of the shorter length bristles is shorter than each of the longer length bristles by a uniform amount of approximately 0.007 meters; wherein the longer length bristles and the shorter length bristles are arranged in alternating lines of longer length bristles and shorter length bristles, the lines of longer length bristles and shorter length bristles being offset relative to those in adjacent lines to centrally dispose each shorter length bristle between longer length bristles except at a periphery of the body portion: wherein said longer length bristles are tapered or have two or more distinct sections of differing thickness, each of the longer length bristles thicker at a base section nearer to the body portion than at a free end and wherein length of the shorter length bristles approximately corresponds to a length of a longer length bristle from the base to a point of bend in the longer length bristle; and wherein the hair care device has only the shorter length bristles and the longer length bristles and is free from any other type of bristle.
