- This Mason Pearson brush is made of Nylon, size Pocket, color Dark ruby - N4. Regular brushing gives your hair the best chance to look and feel its best. So it makes sense to choose a top quality hairbrush in order to enjoy the best results. There are a number of ways in which Mason Pearson hairbrushes are set apart from all others. Mason Pearson hairbrushes are not mass produced. Most of the work is carried out by hand, using techniques pioneered and patented by the founder - Mason Pearson - over one hundred and thirty years ago and improved over succeeding generations. 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 gently massages the scalp. The plastic handle shape was developed from the original wooden models, which are still made in small quantities. The plastic handles are hand-finished to remove any sharp edges to feel comfortable in the hand. In general, the longer the hair the bigger the brush required, however, if you are more comfortable with a smaller brush, it may be necessary to use a smaller ‘mixture’ model instead of a larger pure bristle one. What tuft should I use? Bristle tufts for fine to normal hair. Bristle and nylon tufts for normal to thick or long hair. Nylon tufts for thick or wiry hair. What size should I use? Choosing the right size of hairbrush depends largely on the size of your hand - you will want the brush to be held comfortably in your hand while you brush or style your hair. The Ladies’ brushes are made in four sizes – Large, Medium, Handy and Pocket and the Men’s brushes in two sizes - Large and Medium in the Military Style. The ‘Child’ Pocket size was produced response to popular demand. This enables a child between the age of 3 and 6 to become accustomed to the activity of brushing their hair.
