The device includes a hollow barrel having a plurality of bristles disposed along its surface and a plurality of openings in fluid communication with a chamber defined therein. The barrel is engaged to a hollow handle defining a chamber configured to contain an enclosed pressurized fluid reservoir containing a quantity of fluid. A user switch disposed along a surface of the device helps to discharge a volume of pressure from the fluid reservoir to thereby discharge a volume of fluid. The brush dispenses the volume of discharged fluid through the plurality of openings as a fluid spray or a fluid mist. In one embodiment according to the invention, the device permits a user to apply and to distribute a fluid through their hair, while the user brushes and/or styles their hair with the device.
