Pocket Mixed Bristle

After being unable to find my Aveda brush after moving to Portland (Oregon), I had to finally bite the bullet and buy a new brush. I had spent a ridiculous amount of time reading reviews for a brush that would benefit my fine, starting to thin, naturally blonde hair. Being post menopausal, I have noticed the change in my hair.

Needless to say, after reading reviews about this brush, I …Read more

I was always thinking about buying a MP brush but couldn't justify the price in my head. How could a brush be so different that it's worth $100 plus to buy? Well let me tell you I finally gave in and bought the pocket mixed bristle and was so excited to give it a go. At first I was worried the size would be too small, I have long thick colour treated hair so was worried it wouldnt be …Read more

I have straight, below shoulder length hair. The individual hairs are fine, but there are many of them.

I'd heard many things about Mason Pearson brushes, so when I was able to get a discount I went for it. I had considered the larger sized brushes, but at >£60 I found this really hard to justify!

I bought the pocket sized mixed nylon and bristle brush. It feels …Read more

OMG I just received my brush in the mail. To be honest I was a little disappointed at first because the handle is plastic and there are not a lot of bristles? I sort of expected more. Anyways, I brushed my hair and it feels and looks amazing. It is so incredibly smooth, as if I put in a really luxurious hair mask. I'm used to brushes doing great things for my hair but this is definitely …Read more

I bought this probably in 2004 or 2005 and I am still using it. It is a very good brush and obviously long lasting. It is hard for me now to compare it to anything else since I have used it so long. It does tend to get pretty dusty and of course I lost the cleaning brush for it soon after I bought it. But the dust honestly does not seem to affect the performance very much (not to be gross). I …Read more

I received this brush as a gift from my husband's aunt. At first I was insulted because I wondered what she was trying to imply by giving me a hairbrush but once I read about the history of Mason Pearson and the quality of their products I realized what a great gift it was. This brush is truly a miracle! My hair is so silky and smooth now it looks like the hair in shampoo commercials. I …Read more

I was very skeptical about purchasing this brush and was almost about to return it because of the price. My stylist raved about the brush and convinced me on purchasing it. At first I had buyers remorse, keeping it in the box without touching it but once I took it out of the box and used the brush for the first time, I loved it. The bristles left my hair shiny and smooth. It really works on bangs …Read more

Would I buy this product again? Yes and no. No, because it is supposed to last a life time. Yes, because after what happened to it, I may have to get it replaced... but would I want to? Initially I was very sceptical about the benefits of this very very very very expensive hair brush. But after using it for a week, my hair was shinier, smoother, and easier to shampoo -- I even stopped using …Read more

I am so glad I invested in this brush (though I got it for a bit less on ebay). The last time I had my hair cut, my stylist said I had a lot of split ends. I don't even blow dry my hair every day, let alone use curling irons, a straightener, etc. so it was not heat damage. She asked if I was using a brush with beaded ends. Yes, I was... a crappy brush I'd gotten from Target. I'd …Read more

OK, this will sound insane to anyone who's never used a Mason Pearson ... but whatever.
I've had this brush for most of my life. No kidding, when I was a little girl, my mother was so enamored of my nice hair (because hers has always been thin) that she bought this for me.
I have literally had this brush for 20 years.
I know you look at these things, and wonder "why …Read more
