FAQs

Who is Mason Pearson?

Mason Pearson has been around since 1885, when British engineer Mason Pearson patented his now-famous pneumatic cushion brush, designed not only to detangle but to actively improve hair health. Using years of knowledge in the wool processing industry, Pearson invented the automatic brush-boring machine, which ultimately transformed the brush-making industry. The iconic Mason Pearson hairbrush continues to be manufactured in London to this day, with raw materials such as the boar bristles sourced from the same trusted suppliers since 1941.

What are the most popular products by Mason Pearson?

The Large Extra Boar Bristle Hairbrush is the ultimate investment piece, a full-size brush with pure boar bristles that distributes natural scalp oils from root to tip for an unrivalled shine and smoothness. The Handy Bristle & Nylon Hairbrush is equally beloved, a mid-size option that blends boar and nylon bristles for effortless detangling and smoothing on all hair types. For on-the-go grooming, the Pocket Bristle & Nylon Hairbrush delivers the same exceptional quality in a compact size that slips easily into a bag without compromising on performance. Rounding things out, the Detangling Comb is a brilliant companion to any Mason Pearson brush, handcrafted with the same meticulous attention to detail and designed to glide through knots with minimal effort or breakage.

Which bristle type is right for me?

Mason Pearson offers three bristle types, each suited to different hair needs. Pure boar bristle brushes, like the Handy Boar Bristle Hairbrush, are ideal for fine to normal hair, gently smoothing and conditioning the hair shaft while distributing natural scalp oils from root to tip for a beautiful, healthy shine. For thick, coarse, or hard-to-manage hair, the nylon bristle Pocket Nylon Hairbrush offers firmer detangling and styling power that can work through even the most stubborn knots without causing unnecessary breakage. For those who fall somewhere in between, the mixed bristle Popular Bristle & Nylon Hairbrush combines the conditioning benefits of boar bristle with the detangling strength of nylon, making it a brilliant all-rounder for normal to thick hair and the most versatile option in the range.

What makes Mason Pearson brushes special?

Each Mason Pearson hairbrush travels through 18 stages of production before it is ready to be used on your hair, with many of the techniques dating back to the original 1885 invention. The specialty of the Mason Pearson hairbrush is that its bristles sit in a unique, handmade, patented rubber-cushion pad. The balance of firmness and softness of the cushion stimulates hair growth and evenly distributes the oils throughout the shaft of your hair. A skilled team of technicians hand-sort the boar bristles, removing those that do not meet colour and quality standards, and grading them for thickness and stiffness to be used in different brush models.

Does Mason Pearson offer more than brushes?

Yes, the Shampoo for All Hair Types and Conditioner for All Hair Types are the foundations of the range, formulated with hero ingredients including Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to promote strong, healthy hair without stripping the scalp of its natural oils. For blonde and silver hair, the Purple Shampoo & Conditioner Twin is a brilliant toning duo that neutralises brassiness while nourishing at the same time. The Leave-In Conditioner for Dry & Damaged Hair offers a targeted treatment for hair that needs a little extra care, and the Hair Serum for All Hair Types provides a reparative finishing step that works beautifully alongside the brushes to leave hair looking its very best.

Is Mason Pearson cruelty-free and vegan-friendly?
