MAZE hairbrush is designed to conveniently remove tangled hair and facilitate convenient maintenance of a personal care product. The void maze pattern on the brush head initiates controlled flexibility within the structural frames and creates gaps for easier access to trapped debris. The design is cost effective and promotes a sustainable lifestyle through user engagement.
