1. A hair product dispensing brush and/or comb assembly being configured to contain and selectively dispense a fluid onto hair, said assembly comprising:
a brush and/or comb applicator having a proximal end opposite a distal end, an internal cavity for accepting a fluid, a plurality of bristles extending from a front side of the brush and/or comb applicator, and at least one dispensing nozzle surrounded by the plurality of bristles,
a body having a handle portion with a proximal end and a distal end, and a head portion extending longitudinally from the distal end of the handle portion, where a longitudinal axis of the assembly extends through the proximal and distal ends of the brush and/or comb applicator and the proximal and distal ends of the body,
the head portion having a proximal portion which tapers gradually inwardly toward the longitudinal axis, and a distal portion to which the brush and/or comb applicator is detachably coupled,
the handle portion having a rear half-shell and a front half-shell where the rear half-shell and the front half-shell define an internal space
a fluid container removably placed within the internal space of the handle portion of the body and is fluidly connected to the internal cavity of the brush and/or comb applicator in an installed position, where the fluid container includes a main section and a narrowed section, and
a valve coupled to the narrowed section of the fluid container and extending longitudinally within the head portion of the body, the valve including a plurality of outlets on a front side thereof emanating perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the valve and configured to mate with the at least one dispensing nozzle,
wherein the bristles of the plurality of bristles and an entirety of the head portion do not extend past an outer surface of the handle portion of the body,
wherein the brush and/or comb applicator is rotatable between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position the plurality of outlets of the valve face the at least one dispensing nozzle for permitting dispensing and in the second position the plurality of outlets of the valve face away from the at least one dispensing nozzle and wherein fluid is not dispensed from a rear surface of the distal portion of the head.
