Mason Pearson Brushes

[Nita81]

Does anyone own one?? Do they really live up to the hype??

I have a brush by Conair that is similar in design.....this is my favorite boar bristle brush. It's between $5-7.

Honestly, i have been tempted several types to buy it because it had been recommended by a top black celebrity hair stylist who styles the heads of the destinys child members and the list goes on. But after reading the cathe howse book..Ultra Black Hair Growth, I was thankful I didn't spend $70-150 on a brush. I guess it really all depends on what type of products u rely on to get the style that you want.

I've had one used on me once. It was the "Popular" one, boar and nylon I loved it. If I can find one at a decent price I'm getting it.

i've never used one and probably never will at those prices. According to their website this is what makes their brushes different from other companies. i'm not sold.

• The unique rubber-cushion pad, made by hand using Mason Pearson’s original techniques, allows for effective and efficient brushing. It is kind to use and massages the scalp.

• The cellulose plastic handle is hand-polished and any sharp edges are removed to make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold. This handle was developed from the original wooden design which we continue to make in small quantities.

• We continue to try to improve on the established design : for example, the "Child" brush is in response to a customer’s request. This is designed to enable a child to become accustomed to the activity of brushing. Similar to this, in the materials used, is the "Sensitive", which has been developed for people who have thinning hair or very fine hair. This brush gently stimulates the scalp. The natural extension has been to have a "Sensitive" model for those men who are "thin on top".

• We build our products to last as long as possible. While we cannot make indestructible products, we use the best materials available so that, with a little care, they should give good service.We try to make improvements continuously. We have developed our own special nylon and take particular care in our selection of natural bristles to use the best combination for each brush.

What did she say about the brush?

Their brushes seem nice but I ain't paying that much for a brush. I like Crabtree & Evelyn's combs and brushes.

I love these brushes. I have the nylon detangler and the pure boar one.

What did she say about the brush?

I have the Cathy Howse book also so I'll chime in...she doesn't say anything about THIS brush but she doesn't believe in brushing the hair AT ALL. Her thing is to throw all brushes away because 'they brush the hair straight off the head'; I personally have a boar bristle brush and use it for smoothing only.

I have one and like it. I also have a denman way cheaper and fine, IMO.
