# Self-Shedding Hairbrushes The Magic Comb Easily Releases Tangled Locks From its Bristly Grip By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-02-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-comb References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/02/14/gift-of-the-magi/) The majority of people don't find it fun to grab and rip entwined tresses on their [hair brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mela-keras-le-brush) in order to clean it, but the task is necessary for ensuring that the implement remains an effective styling tool. The Magic Comb makes this process a great deal easier, requiring just one hand to operate and promising to molt all dead hair collected to date. Su-in Kim and Kim Tae-Jin's invention is a [spiral-style groomer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heated-detailer-brush) with fine cushion-tipped bristles that wrap 360 degrees around. Just between this section and the handle, a [smooth metallic dial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blendsmart) is integrated, requiring just a flick of the thumb to activate. This causes the core of the Magic Comb to rotate and the quills to bend and retract inside. Give the detangler a shake and the knotted nest will simply fall off. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hair](https://www.trendhunter.com/hair) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Self-shedding Hairbrushes:** A trend in haircare products that incorporate innovative mechanisms to easily remove tangled hair, providing convenience and efficiency for users. - **One-handed Hairbrush Operation:** A trend in hairbrush design that requires only one hand for operation, allowing for greater ease of use and maneuverability. - **Molt Technology:** A trend in hairbrushes that utilize advanced technology to automatically shed dead hair, reducing the need for manual cleaning. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Haircare Products:** The haircare industry can explore self-shedding hairbrushes as a disruptive innovation opportunity to offer customers a more convenient and efficient hairbrushing experience. - **Beauty Tools and Accessories:** Companies in the beauty tools industry can capitalize on the trend of one-handed hairbrush operation by developing ergonomic and user-friendly designs that cater to the needs of busy individuals. - **Technology and Gadgets:** The technology industry has an opportunity to develop innovative solutions using molt technology, creating self-cleaning brushes that minimize the effort required for maintenance and improve the user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pet Hair-Collecting Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/layer-brush.md) - [Detangling Pet Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-teezer.md) - [Specifically Designed Hairbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-bonne-brosse.md) - [Vegan Hair Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-hair-brush.md) - [Effective Detangling Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/detangling-brush1.md) - [High-End Dog Grooming Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-groom-tool-brush.md) - [LED Light Hairbrushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreo-flip.md) - [Product-Applying Haircare Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyfasi-deluxe-detangler.md) - [Customizable Detangling Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/detangling-brushes.md)
