Junior Pure Bristle and Nylon Mixed Brush BN2

So I have long (a few inches past my bra) hair that is very thick, and due to several factors, also very fine. This is a nightmare combo for detangling - I have recently been using the "Wet" brand detangling hairbrushes, but it still feels like I am ripping through my hair. Rake combs just don't get in-between the fine hair enough to properly detangle. I'll add in here that my hair & skin are chronically dry, and I seem to always have this section of hair about 3/4 down that is unmanageable, regardless of my split ends. Adding in product helps with detangling, but weighs my hair down. I researched this brand a bit after several friends recommended, and yes, it's more expensive than any hairbrush I've bought, but the company has a solid reputation for quality and it's warrantied for life. I actually found a MP brush in my grandmother's cabinet from decades ago & it's in perfect shape, even after being through dozens of kids & grandkids. This detangling brush goes right through my hair, detangles everything without product, and feels amazing on the scalp (and I have a sensitive scalp that is not a fan of bristly brushes). It's also fantastic for getting all of my hair up in a ponytail or bun (I have other MP brushes now, but this one really grips and holds all of my hair up without having to use any pressure - I smooth with the popular mixture brush after pulling up the hair with this one). I don't blow dry my hair, but I do get a respectable amount of volume when I brush it after it's air-dried a bit as well. The brush is solidly built, appears legit compared to my other MP brushes. The packaging is attractive, they've clearly retained their older branding & it stands out nicely - I'll definitely keep the boxes for travel or storage (also, keep your packaging & receipt because they are lifetime warrantied & you may be asked for it if you request repair/replacement). It comes with a nylon cleaning brush which does seem to work effectively. There was some red residue on the brush from the packaging insert, but it wiped off easily. If you have oily hair, or don't want the natural bristles in the other MP brushes, this would be a great everyday brush. It is enjoyable to use and gets right through my hair without pulling or snagging, whether my hair is wet or dry. It feels solid in my hand and is a handsome brush to look at. My hair is noticeably smoother than even a few days ago with almost no product. I've used cushioned paddle-style brushes before & this definitely has a softer hold. If you do blow-dry your hair, I probably would also incorporate a vented, non-cushioned brush to avoid damaging the MP brush with product or direct heat - but I've also got less need to blow dry after using this one. Overall, I really love this brush. I will probably also buy this for my long & curly-haired niece since it is that gentle of a detangler. The cost is absolutely worth is (as are the more expensive natural-bristled MP brushes), and it's a very effective brush that should last for years. It will need to be properly cared for (it should not be submerged b/c of the vented cushion and exposure to lots of product or heat will degrade the bristles & bed), but that's been the case with any high-quality beauty product. I've since bought other MP brushes & combs and have been similarly impressed.

It's hardly necessary to add another 5 star review for this brush, but the brush is so fantastic that I wanted to add my voice to the chorus of others saying so. Assuming mine isn't the first review you've read, you've heard the brush is great, and I'm guessing that you, like me, are wondering if it's REALLY worth the price tag. I did too. And you might also be trying to find some tidbit of information to convince a reluctant spouse that buying a $200 hair brush isn't insane, which, let's be honest, it is, as my husband repeatedly told me. What convinced me really had nothing to do with the brush and everything to do with a general frustration buying crap. There are certain products that have risen to the top of their industry but that command a price premium - think Dyson vacuums, Vitamix blenders... the Mason Pearson is one of them. I have bought dozens of lousy hairbrushes in my life, most of them around $10. Sometime about a year ago, I splurged on a $40 brush that claimed to be "as good" as the Mason Pearson. It's not. It's essentially the same lousy brush with a hefty price tag. And when I think of all the money I've spent on brushes, it's considerably more than $200, and had I bought this first I would have saved money and aggravation and had a better product all along. I have no idea what part of "brush science" makes this brush different, but it feels AMAZING to brush your hair with it. So, here's what happened - I agonized over buying this. I read every review I could find. They all said essentially what I'm saying - it's the best brush, we're not sure why, but you should just trust me and buy it. So eventually, I did. The day it arrived my husband came over to watch me open it, naturally curious what in the world could possibly make a brush cost so much. And I think more than likely waiting with an "I told you so" chambered for when the brush inevitably was just a brush and nothing more. I ran it through my hair and immediately noticed a difference. It's is just so perfectly comfortable and it feels like the brush is actually massaging your scalp when you use it. I was standing in my kitchen, not in front of a mirror, but my husband remarked immediately at how silky and shiny my hair was - from ONE use. If I saw the scene play out in a commercial I would have said it was absurd, but it's true. One use, and my hair was so much softer and shinier that my husband noticed. I've been using for a couple of months now and I'm in love. Brushing my hair is something I look forward to. I have long, thick, wavy hair that I straighten, and it works great for me. I have a 7 year old with very long, thick straight hair and a 5 year old with medium length straight thin hair and it works well through all the different textures and lengths and they beg me to use it. The only thing I would say is that this is not the right brush to use on wet hair. I use a Wet Brush for that, which is no where near as nice as the Mason Pearson, but the instructions that came with it specifically said not to use it on wet hair and I believe them. I will be buying one of these for my daughters as they get older, because it will last their whole life and the earlier they get one the less they'll waste on cheap drugstore brushes. Every other brush I've ever used feels like running sticky fingers through your hair. Buy this one. You'll love it.

I love this brush. I have very thick, long hair. It is ALWAYS tangled, wet or dry. Before this brush, I just could not keep up with it. Combing my hair was always a painful and time consuming ordeal. With this brush however, my hair is painlessly untangled very quickly. I was hesitant about combing out my wet hair, thinking that like everything else I've tried, it wouldn't work. But it did. Amazingly. What used to take 15 minutes (and a bucket of tears sometimes), now takes less than two and is a downright PLEASURE. I brush my hair twice a day, every day now and I've noticed an improvement in the look and feel of my hair. I was really hurting with the cost, but when you have hair like this, it is practically a necessity. I would've paid that much just to use it once, that's how pleasant it was. My usually cost conscious mother, after watching my brush my hair said, "Where was this 20 years ago when I was having to fight to get a comb through your hair?" and made no comment about the cost. No more tears, no more yanking hair out of my head just to get through a nasty knot. My hair is healthier because I no longer have to fight it, and I am so much happier. 3 MONTH UPDATE: I still LOVE this brush. I had gotten my hair cut right after getting this brush and it has kept my hair healthy and soft and has really stretched the effects of a new hair cut. 8 MONTH UPDATE: Still in love. Still use it every day. I carry it in my purse even! It's really durable too- I literally toss it in my purse without any protection and the only thing I've noticed is that the gold label is starting to wear off slowly. I've noticed that it traps lint in between the bristles sometimes, but nothing that can't be solved by running the included cleaning brush through it a couple times. It's still as amazing and wonderful as the day I bought it! I never review items, much less update my reviews, but $160 is A LOT to spend on a plastic hairbrush so I want everyone to know it is worth it.

Definitely a splurge, I am not going to lie... it hurts the wallet thinking you'll be spending it on a $120 brush, but how many brushes do you buy in a lifetime? The last one I had lasted 5 years and snapped at the handle - typical drug store brand. I figured since I've overhauled all of my makeup and hair tools to high-end toys, I might as well get a brush worth having as well... This brush polishes your hair with just a few strokes - any nasty coarse strands are suddenly silken and beautiful after running this through your hair. It definitely delivers what it promises; the combination of boar bristles and plastic massages my scalp without being too harsh on my skin. It's VERY light weight (I was expecting something a bit heftier) but over use, I've come to realize I like lighter items in my hand as it doesn't stress your arms (great news for hair dressers or people with arthritis) or hands. This is NOT the type of brush for a person that likes something that does it ALL. I would NOT recommend combing your hair with this wet - EVER. This is something you would use on dry hair for a quick brush through to de-tangle or polish during styling. It is not something to use with a hot blow-dryer and it won't curl your hair or cook breakfast for you. =P It's definitely worth it in my book because I am a SUCKER for tools and gadgets worth having that can make my life easier/nicer. This makes my hair shiny without having to put it through heat if I don't have to and it reduces the amount of product I have to use. I definitely appreciate the simple craftsmanship and my only gripe would be that I have to clean it from the hair that collects in the bristles. - That's OK though, since the brush does come with a separate brush to "Brush" your brush? LOL... I know it sounds weird, but that's what it is and it works. Hope this helps and I hope you get it! It's a fine luxury brush definitely worth owning. =)

It’s the best. It’s worth every penny. I lost mine and came to replace it here. It’s more expensive than it used to be but it’s the same quality as I always remember. No pulling, gets through the most tangly hair ever and does not hurt. I missed my brush when it went missing, so much so that I even bought a similar looking white brush on here but it just yanked my hair out and broke my strands. This investment is worth it. Since purchasing my replacement, I found my missing brush. I’m happy to have multiple brushes now because they’re that good and I never want to be without again. It sounds dramatic, but the reviews raving about this are true. So very true. A lot of people say to just buy it. Yes, it’s expensive. But once you get it; you’ll understand.

My gaily hair brush for the last 5 years. I am of the age, where most of my peers are getting bold, I suspect that this brush allowed me to still keep my hair intact. Great quality, comfortable and gentle, seems magical - love it.

I love it for my fine hair but the quality … I saw people saying it last a long time but it’s been 2 months and my bristles are falling out😭

3 estrellas por lo caro que es . Compré el rosado que dice para niños . Y no logro pasar entre mi cabello . Supongo que es porque es de niños . Compré este porque vi en tik tok lo suelen comprar para viajes por lo pequeño . Yo desenredo con un tangle teezer primero cuando está seco . No peinen en mojado que revienta el cabello . Y luego me cepillo con este . Hoy primera vez lo probé . Lo que sí noté , da brillo . Deja un acabado impecable . Y por lo pequeño puedes llevarlo a cualquier lado . Pensé en devolverlo porque no traspasó mi cabello a menos me esfuerce . Pero el acabado es tan hermoso . Que ya me enamoré del cepillo y como no tengo dinero para el grande adultos . Voy a quedarme con esto . Pienso vale la pena . Pero si tienes más dinero invierte en el más grande o si tienes mucho cabello
