How to Choose
Your Ideal Hairbrush

Choosing the best hairbrush for you depends on three very important factors: your hair type, your hair length and your personal taste.

Types of Tuft

We truly believe that all beauty comes from within. By choosing the right brush for your hair type, you can stimulate production of your hair’s natural oils, to promote healthier locks for a smoother, softer finish.

For thick, harder to manage hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

I have fine hair. What is the best type of hairbrush for me?

For fine hair, we would encourage you to use a boar bristle hairbrush to reduce frizz and enhance shine.

What is the best hairbrush to use on a child?

Mason Pearson has a long history of being used by parents to brush their children’s hair. We can’t promise a tear-free experience, but we often receive feedback that it makes hairbrushing less stressful.

Our Child hairbrush has one length bristle that is designed for the fine hair and sensitive scalps of 3-6 year–olds.

When you’re trying to choose the best hairbrush for your child’s hair, you should consider their hair type and children with thicker hair will need a firmer bristle.

Can I return my hairbrush if I choose the wrong one?

For hygiene reasons, hairbrushes cannot be returned so it is really important you select the right bristles for your hair type.

There is a brilliant guide to help you choose the best hairbrush for your hair here. However, we’d really encourage you to speak to your hairstylist who will be able to feel your hair and see how it responds.

What hairbrush do hairdressers recommend?

 A hairdresser should recommend the brush that is best suited to your hair type and the way you use it. 

 

Mason Pearson is very proud to be the favourite choice of many renowned stylists and a must have in their kit bags. Most top stylists will recommend you use a Mason Pearson as a finishing hairbrush and to help you put your hair up.
