The present invention comprises systems and methods for using a specialized styling device, such as a smart hairbrush, smart comb, or accessories, which allow for the collection of data from the devices, and for users to interact over a wireless network. The devices may including a wireless radio frequency modem connected to the internet and a battery to power components, including lights, speakers, cameras, microphones, and sensors. A smart brush may allow for computations through processors, memory, system-on-a-chip, applications, batteries, operating systems, and wired or wireless communication interfaces. It is also possible for the smart brush to connect with other electronic devices, including phones, tablets, and cameras in order to share electrical power and communicate over one or more interfaces. A smart brush may operate as an independent mobile device or within a smart home or other system with multiple computing devices, appliances, and sensors connected together within a network.
