CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] None. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to hair brushes and, more particularly, to a two-part, tong-shaped, vented styling brush having brush heads with curved-profile heads. [0004] 2. Description of Related Art [0005] Various known hair brushes have two heads that are moveable toward and away from each other. The heads reside at a distal end of respective handle sections, and the proximal ends are attached by a hinge and are usually spring-biased. [0006] To date, the only known brushes of this type are referred to as "straightening brushes" and have generally flat brush heads that are generally limited to procedures on the hair where flat brush heads are optimal. OBJECTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION [0007] It is an object of the present invention to provide a hairbrush that overcomes the limitations of existing brushes by making a styling brush that is suitable for optimal performance in procedures that are not necessarily straightening procedures. [0008] These and other objects are achieved by the present invention. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION [0009] According to the present invention, a hair brush has two portions joined by a hinge at one end and each having brush heads at the other end. In profile, the brush heads are curved such that one is concave and the other is convex and, as a result, they nest within each other when closed together and apply their contour to hair trapped between the brush heads. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0010] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a brush according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. [0011] FIG. 2A is a partial, end view of a brush according to FIG. 1 shown in an opened position. [0012] FIG. 2B is a partial, end view of a brush according to FIG. 1, shown in a closed position. [0013] FIG. 3 is a top view of a brush according to FIG. 1. [0014] FIG. 4 is a bottom view of a brush according to FIG. 1. [0015] FIG. 5 FIG. 3 is a side view of a brush according to FIG. 1. [0016] FIG. 6 is an exploded of a brush according to FIG. 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION [0017] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, a brush (10) has a first portion (12) and a second portion (14) joined at a proximal end by a hinge (16) of a type generally known. Preferably, the hinge (16) is spring-biased by means of a spring module (17) of a type generally known. Each portion has a brush head (18, 20) at its distal end. The first brush head (18) has a generally concave cross-sectional profile with a concave hair engaging surface (22). The second brush head (20) has a generally convex cross-sectional profile with a convex hair engaging surface (24). When the heads (18, 20) are moved to the closed position as shown in FIG. 2B, the concave surface (22) and the convex surface (24) nest relative to each other. [0018] The first brush head (18) has a series of vents (26) beginning on the concave surface (22) and penetrating completely through. The second brush head (20) has a series of first vents (28) penetrating into the body of the second brush head (20), which is a hollow body, and a series of second vents (30) on the back surface (32) of the second brush head (20). The first vents (28) and second vents (30) are in communication via the hollow body of the second brush head (20) so that air can pass through.
