I’ve had my mason Pearson brush for 34 years. It’s excellent for daily brushing long thick hair as it redistributes the oil really well so keeps it healthy. That said they’re not nearly as expensive in England, the small one is 50 quid. They’re hand made the way they have been for hundreds of years and can last generations without perishing

[@Mintzik]

In the UK, most people with that style of brush have them from Denman, not Mason Pearson. Denman have also been making these brushes for a long time (my grandmother used them) and they're great quality and last a lifetime if cared for. Yes, MP ones do only cost between £50-£80 ($59-$ 95ish)from what I've seen here but Denman cost under £20. There is absolutely no reason, other than the luxury brand or personal desire to only buy handmade, to buy Mason Pearson.

I actually prefer the Tangle Teezer (or dupes) over wet brushes, because they're so easy to clean. To me it doesn't make sense to invest in professional shampoo, really work it in to get clean hair and then use a brush with residue of oil and product on my freshly cleaned hair. Sometimes I even put my Tangle Teezer in the diswasher.

[@savannahmancuso2965]

I prefer Tangle Teezer too! Glides like a dream, love using it to distribute my deep conditioners. But I don’t really have very tangly hair, so I could definitely see how the teeth would be too weak for really thick, textured hair.

[@graphitebeans]

IN 👏 THE 👏 DISHWASHER!!! Love that! Gonna try it!

[@BleedInAllColours]

@@graphitebeans I am all for saving time and effort where possible. Just make sure to put it in the uppermost floor of your dishwasher, as the heat is lowest here. On other days I just use an old toothbrush and a drop of soap / shampoo / dishwashing soap to give it a quick scrub. I always do this on wash day to get rid of oil and dirt and dry shampoo between the bristles before using it on my freshly washed hair.

[@luckyDancer100]

Yeah I thought it’s meant for people with finer hair? There’s a girl on KZbin somewhere who reviewed the wet brush & said she didn’t understand the hype. Couldn’t get the brush through her hair, etc. Then she used the tangle teezer and it worked! I personally prefer the wet brush, although I very rarely use it. I prefer to detangle in the shower with my hands, but everyone is different. I don’t know if you can judge all products the same.

[@PsychoKat90]

The MP brush is definitely a luxury item. Denman makes nice brushes with boar bristle and nylon pins, and the idea is to spread your OWN oils down the strands, not necessarily oil you added in. It's a historic form of hair care. And if you are shampooing properly, you are not really shampooing your ends, just the scalp, so pushing the oils down the strands is supposed to keep them a bit more conditioned.

[@multifandomnerd1328]

i think it also probably works best for people who shampoo once a week or something, since you'll have oil build up to actually re distribute

[@Donna-cc1kt]

I don’t know the reasoning but I love my Denman brush because of the scalp massage.

[@PsychoKat90]

@@multifandomnerd1328 true, if you shampoo every day then I'm not sure it would do much. On the other hand, it can actually extend the time your hair stays fresh, because boar bristles can also pull dust and dirt out.

I decided I wanted to go back to styling my hair the way I used to, but in a responsible manner! Trying to use up my Raw Curls Shampoo & Conditioner but I am using the Pureology Leave-In and the Redken Blow Dry Gel and am loving the results!

I think the Mason Pearson company was talking about distribution of your own natural scalp oils(sebum) that are released by brushing. That brush feels so good on my scalp. I use it whenever my hair is flat ironed and brush with it before going to bed and wrapping my hair up.

[@shirin8609]

Has it made a big difference in your hair? There's definitely value in the sensory experience and supporting good business practices, too, so I think it's fair to take those things into account. Overall, do you think the brush is worth $240? I'd appreciate your input. Thanks!

[@katiescollection6707]

​@@shirin8609 I find the Mason Pearson definitely distributes sebum well, so I can space out shampoos a day longer after using it, as my hair didn't get greasy on the roots as fast. It also does a great job at smoothing my hair down while keeping it full and fluffy after brushing in a way no other brush has, and it's very gentle on the hair. Hair texture will play a role in whether or not it works for you in a way that justifies the cost - if your hair is naturally straight or slightly wavy, you will probably get that smooth but full effect after brushing, but as my hair has edged more into the curly (2c/3a) territory from being slightly wavy (2a/b), I find brushing it makes the lengths get poofy, so I wouldn't recommend it to anybody with very wavy/curly hair if you wear your hair natural most of the time.

[@strawberrie1]

@@shirin8609 I will never say that any brush is worth $240 but is a great brush and I do not regret the purchase. I use it for scalp manipulation and smoothing my hair after flat ironing and it smooths my hair like no other when it's straight but I have not noticed any big improvements in my hair since using it. When you do buy it make sure to search for a good deal or coupon code because I didn't pay full price for my brush.

@@shirin8609 yes. When you consider your paying between 10 and 20 dollars usually for a normal brush but your replacing them every few years, I do think the Mason Pearson is a worthwhile purchase. It's beautifully made and lasts forever with proper care. I use a wet brush most of the time because it's a very low tension brush on the hair. However when I really want to groom the hair I'll use a Mason Pearson and it's a great tool. I have very fine hair, a lot of it, it is colored and just at thigh length for reference.

I have a Tangle Teezer and I quite like it. The feel of it in my hand is really nice and ergonomic-- made brushing super easy after coming out of a massive depression. Wet brushes are nice and comfortable, but I like that the bed of the Tangle Teezer brush is really easy to clean because there's no squishy cushion for dust and debris to get caught in. Plus, I felt like they were basically ripping through my tangles instead of working through them, judging by the amount of hair I'd have to get out of my brush. I just wish the Tangle Teezer came with a nice case to prevent scratches.

The tangle teaser is my favorite brush in the world. I tossed my wet brushes out. The bristles are denser so it distributes product more evenly and it doesn’t have the balls on the ends of the bristles so it doesn’t pull on tangles at all. Also boar bristle brushes are always expensive but ALWAYS worth it for almost every single client I have. I recommend them to everyone. Better for your scalp, better for extending your style and adding shine and distributing the oils from your scalp down to the ends of your hair.

I have waist-length hair, and I use it between washings to stimulate my scalp and distribute the oil. It feels wonderful, but I’m sure there are similar brushes that get the job done for way less. I use my fingers and the detangling brush, otherwise

[@janedough6575]

Nothing can compare to the Mason Pearson brush, I’ve had mine for decades and they were worth every penny.

[@nicoleroakes3094]

I have watched so many of your videos and always learn something from each one! I love how you explain things in a simple yet informative way while also talking about the negatives of items. Keep these coming!

Appreciate you Nicole! I try to make it as simple as possible because it doesn't need to be that hard 🙏

[@rydiavalentine]

I have the rat tail comb and blow drying brush. Looks like I used them correctly. Only thing I was missing was the wet brush. I used a wide tooth bamboo comb to detangle my hair. Some hairs would come out, even when I've always started combing from my ends. I don't have the original wet brush, since it's not sold where I live. They don't send it here, either. But I found a similar one. The bristles are super soft, so they don't tear my hairs off. This brush really works!

[@theresafeeney2756]

I have a Wet brush, comb and hair drying brush and love all of them. I always heard the Mason Pearson brush is very good to distribute your natural oil from your scalp for healthy hair. I actually see a lot of viewers agree with the MP brush. Maybe I'll get one. Thanks for sharing!

[@faithk1892]

I remember when I first got my hair teased at a salon. It was for an event. They teased my hair so bad it took my mom forever to get the knots out. Thankfully she knew what to do. She said please never get your hair teased again. It causes a lot of damage and breakage along the cuticle of the hair and it's a complete mess. So I never did it again and my hair thanked me for it. ❤

[@majalisiecka7443]

I've been binge watching lots of your videos lately but what you said about the Mason Pearson brush made eyes and ears fall into my skull. Oil/sebum smearing natural bristle brush being not a thing? I thought such a well educated hairdresser would at least mention some haircare history. Because it's been a thing for centuries, before the conditioners and hair oils so loved on this channel. The Mason Pearson started producing them 130 years ago and somehow they're still going strong without changing almost anything. Also, for very dry hair the oil distributed on the length of the hair (some even put extra conditioner before shampooing the scalp) can protect the hair from the harsh impact of shampoo. I feel like lots of videos on this channel keep repeating information and not really adding new, but maybe I didn't go through enough of them. Just a little rant from a natural bristle lover, keep up the good work 😶‍🌫️

[@jenniferdixon9707]

I am a bit disappointed that you didn't discuss paddle brushes. For day to day brushing of long, straight hair, which ones are preferable?

[@risryan4191]

Have to shout out mason Pearson - I've used this brush since I was 14yo, I have a lot of hair but very fine strands, and it's length is down to my thighs. I use it daily and love how my hair responds. Anything else I use ends up giving me splits and damage, despite meticulous practice and care

[@mairimillar8866]

I prefer a paddle brush to dry my own, mid-length hair, but hairdressers usually argue round brushes are better but I find round brushes so hard to use.

[@user-xi2ih2wx4n]

Sorry to disagree, Mason and Pearson brushes are excellent. They were designed to brush the bodies natural oil along the hair shaft, not before shampooing, but rather, through out the week, when one didn't wash the hair. They have been around before many hair products we have today. In older times, woman had long hair and washed it infrequently. Brushing each night before bed, kept the hair shinny and healthy. I have had long hair, one length for most my life, (only recently cut short), and I wouldn't use anything else. They have always been the Rolles-Royce of brushes and were made of horse hair. Sadly, it would seem the company selling them have up the price tag and altered its recommended use and changed from horse hair to plastic. I agree they are over priced. Not good for someone with treated hair as they do collect a lot of hair however, great for a head scratch and long untreated hair.

[@mor913]

I still have my mason Pearson that I bought in the mid 90s for $40. Which was luxury for me at that time. It in great condition. I cared for it all these years. I use it to brush my hair. Not to style or dry my hair.

[@karenbrandwein8245]

The mason Pearson brush was excellent. Your right. As was the Kent.. I still have a mason Pearson brush.. They say it's guarenteed for life. Been wanting to send it back and get a replacement. But haven't found a way. They don't have a US customer services number. I don't think this great young styles gets it.. But 240.00 is outrageous. I have long hair again and just bought Wet Brush.. hope I got the right one . But quite frankly whats the difference between this and the con Air. Hope I got the right one . I'd like Chris to take a look at my hair.. he seems to know conditions... I'm .I never learned he to use a blow dryer... Ugg .and my hair takes forever to dry. What happened to the good old days when you washed and conditioned your hair. Put some rollers in . Sat under a dryer or hood for 45 min to 1 hour and were good to go????

[@karenbrandwein8245]

Just took a look at my old ratted mason Pearson brush .. it does look quite different from the New Ones I've seen recently for 235.00. Much better quality. But it's broken and needs to be replaced . My hair isn't as thick as it was..unfortunately . But it's still need a good Brush. It also helps smooth the hair.. don't know if I need those heavy nylon Bristles anymore. Since my Olexplex experiencey hair seems a lot thinner. Yes I have to reinvest in shampoo and conditions. And I'm on a low fixed income. Soo frustrating.

I love my wooden comb and I just don’t like plastic ones I even have a wet brush and I don’t use that. The only time a plastic comb is used is when my husband trims my hair maybe once or twice a year and even then I pre comb my hair with my wooden comb and I never comb my hair to put conditioner through I find if you are very gentle with your hair while combing you shouldn’t have breakages and I have waist length hair

[@Donna-cc1kt]

[@bethm203]

Out of all my brushes, my tangle teezer is my favourite, and i even own a mason and pearson. Tangle teezers are the best brush you can buy if you're thinking if you should buy the wet brush or the TT got for the Tangle Teezer.

[@lyndafromparisathena6321]

4:50 Note: Mason Pearson advice from a head shaved man who doesn’t have long thick hair to manage 😒: can he even understand the feeling of using a BN large Mason Pearson on long thick hair, the crazy airy volume it gives to your roots when you brush your mane upside down, the closing of cuticules and silky hair you get, easy instant detangling ? With all my respect: Can a bald guy understand All the problematics of a girl’s long thick hair in order to understand the benefits of a Mason Pearson brush ? My hair are long, thick Asian hair, almost at waist line. I try to grow them so they need particular maintenance. I have 2 BN (Bristles Nylon) large + I just bought 2 BN additional pocket size for travel: 1 for clean hair, 1 for dirty hair that I use to spread the sebum of my greasy roots between shampoos so the roots don’t look so oily and so I can space shampoos. It also helps make the dry hair length feel softer, more moist. I also spread the sebum before the shampoo: your own sebum will coat your dryer hair ends and protect them from the shampoo striping your hair oils. That’s why your roots look healthy and your ends look fried, frizzy, damaged. If not, I try to coat my ends with coconut oil so the ends won’t be overly dry after the shampoo. Once the ends are dry, no leave in conditioner can help. Only oil hair mask deep conditioning, OLAPLEX, protein collagen can save them. Combined with yearly trimming, I don’t have anymore split ends. I discovered this brand in my mom’s bathroom when I was a kid. I found a pocket BN brush and never returned it. This brush is now over 30 years old, the bristles have suffered but it’s still usable. I had no clue it was a famous expensive brand but I liked it so 15 years later, I invested in the BN large ones. I didn’t pay 240$, maybe 130$ each but yes it is very expensive , I had to order them from UK France and pick them in France to reduce shipping and import taxes costs. It’s an investment that costs an arm but it’s worth it, Mason Pearson last for decades with proper care. After 7 years they re still in good condition, don’t have too much signs of wear. I’ve owned a lot of cheap brushes in my life before and they all ended in the bin or I don’t use them: I got a wood brush, you start brushing and it entangles in your hair immediately, it gets stuck in your hair. The latex mat broke after few years. Cheaper brush natural boar bristles were too soft and not long enough, the bristles don’t even reach my scalp and under layers of my hair. Either they broke overtime because it was plastic. Morrocanoil or L’OREAL pro paddle brushes are super but they don’t spread the sebum / leave in oils nor close cuticules. I don’t ever want to use anything else than Mason Pearson.

It took a few months, but I have a head full of ringlet curls.... This was after I badly damaged my hair with extensions....

I was given a Mason Pearson when I was 21 yo (I’m now 58) and I only just bought a new one a year ago. That brush is a marvel and distributes the oil on my dry hair (now grey but previously dirty blonde) like no other, so I’ll happily pay the price. A new one a year ago cost me £89 but, given the previous one lasted over 30 years, doesn’t seem bad to me. Each to their own though, but they work for me.

I’m gonna poo poo on the Mason Pearson too. As a stylist I started out w it to mainly smooth/finish updos but also do “flat brush” blowdries the Bumble & bumble way bc they demanded us to have them. Well that always ended up w melted plastic bristles. Then I got a Denman version for $20 and had the same performance doing the same tasks, but the bristles melting didn’t hurt as bad. Then I got another dense boar brush w heat resistant plastic, game changer. Mason Pearson is like Land Rover, products that rely on heritage reputation and make the consumer feel like they have clout, but they actually have terrible reliability.

I only use heat tools1-2 times per week (beachy waves mostly) and wear my hair in "protective styles" the remainder of days. My hair is now virgin after coloring for 35+ years....love it. I've never worn my hair below chin level because it was fine and I thought I could not grow it. Now, at 68 yo, I have learned I can have below shoulder gentle layers.

I have fine, Scandinavian hair in other words: hair that tangles just by looking at it. I prefer the Wet Brush Pro for my wet hair but my Tangle Teezer Salon Elite when it's dry. I think the Wet brush is uncomfortable and pulls my hair once it's dry but it's obviously superb on wet hair (hence the name, I guess ;). So I'm personally a fan of both, YMMW. But, I've also seen videos here on YT of WOC trying the Tangle Teezer on their natural hair and being amazed at how well and painfree it worked on their hair so if you have coily hair (and certainly if you have little ones with that hair texture) I'd say it's worth a shot too. At least check out some videos of people with similar hair texture testing out the Tangle Teezer.
