Mason Pearson Universal Nylon Hairbrush - NU2

I have wavy hair with some coils; it is not coarse but fine / dense. I have A LOT of hair that I keep between 2-3ft long. I wish I would’ve purchased this brush sooner. The brush is strong, painless to brush with, and has made my hair softer / smoother. It was worth the price as it replaces the many other brushes I’d been using for upkeep + will outlast those other brushes. I’ll be purchasing the pocket sized one for my purse + hoping that Mason Pearson will make a larger size of this nylon brush (the largest size for this one is their ‘medium’ ATM).

After using my Mason-Pearson Detangler brush, purchased for me by my parents 30+ years ago, the pad finally began to lose a few bristles, and to show other signs of wear, necessitating the need for a replacement. So I recently purchased this dark ruby Universal model.This Universal is only my 3rd MP brush, including the Pocket Nylon brush I own, also purchased decades ago— a testament to the quality of M-P’s fine hair care products.The Universal (“medium” sized) has 7 rows of bristles, the Detangler (“handy” sized), has 6 rows. Both brushes have identical bristles, but the Universal is a larger brush.Need help deciding? If you have smaller hands, or intend to use this predominantly for styling, consider the “handy” size Detangler instead. Both are full-sized, adult brushes. The Pocket-sized brush (5 rows of bristles), while intended as a travel/purse brush, can also be used as an everyday/primary brush for children. The pad is only slightly smaller than the other two, but the handle length is considerably shorter.I have provided two photos for visual reference both of the 3 brush-types/sizes mentioned here (plus the Cleaner), and their accompanying boxes.While I am blonde, I have a healthy headful of very thick, moderately coarse, slightly wavy hair. I adore M-P’s largest, traditional brushes with boar bristles (so luxurious and absolutely gorgeous displayed on one’s dressing table!), but due to the thickness of my hair, I have always used the nylon-bristled models as my everyday/primary brushes (on dry hair) because they're the only bristles that penetrate to my scalp. While the nylon bristles are firm, they do flex, and are so well-polished, they’ve never scratched my scalp. They literally glide through my hair. They’re also useful for brushing-out hairspray and dry shampoo. Additionally, I use my M-P’s for styling such as back-brushing (volume & height can be achieved in seconds).With proper care these brushes will last decades. Included are glossy, full-color leaflets with care directions such as using the included Cleaner brush, as well as some historical information on the company.These cult-classic brushes are truly the best investment one can make for a lifetime of beautiful hair.Very highly recommended!Thank you for reading,-CC, Amazon Prime Member-Reviewer

Best purchase ever! I used to buy those $10 brushes from CVS and went through them every month. I finally decided to splurge on this brush and haven't regretted it yet. I highly recommend this brand and have purchased several of their brushes. Side note: this brush works wonders on weaves, wigs or hair extensions! Detangles like a pro with minimal shedding.

These are the best brushes I have ever used! They last forever, you can will them to your grandchildren when you’re gone. The best quality brush you will ever buy. My mother used them, I didn’t think they were fancy enough for me. When I finally had two dollars to rub together, I bought mine and have never regretted it. If you want to take good care of your hair, this is how you do it.

Soft soft bristles for infants only

I have purchased three of these: one for me,One for travel, one for a teen granddaughter. We call these “the magic hair brush”. This is gentle on 70 year old head of hair and somehow seems to add volume while massaging my scalp. Clean as instructed. Do not use on wet hair.

I have had the mason pearson brush for about 2 years now and I absolutely love the mix of boar and nylon in the brush! It holds onto my fine-medium hair beautifully and pulls down any scalp oil at my crown into my ends. I use this on day 1-3 hair only. If I can make it to day 3-4 hair or i use scalp oil I use an inexpesnive boar only brush. The mason pearson brush has rubber on the base that can detiorate over time with xposure to some oils and products.I do baby this brush. I clean it out of any hair every use. I sue the brush cleaning tool about 1x a week and I give the brush a full water and mild soap cleaning 1x every 2 months- being very veyr carful not to get any water into the hole and then letting the brush dry fully.Yes this brush is expensive. Is it worth it? Yes, for me it is worth it. I lose much less hair now with regular use and my har is absolutely looking and feeling more healthy over these 2 years. This feels so good on my scalp and it really pulls down the oils into my medium-long hair mids and ends.

Great product

Worth every penny. My girls hair looks great

Keeps my hair healthy

Lasted 5 years.

Got it for the wife and she says “it’s so-so”. Save your money.

The boar bristles really are amazing. My wife can feel the difference with each stroke and it doesn’t cause the frizzy static. She loves it and is thrilled about how well it removes tangles while being the softer bristles.

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

This brush is the best brush I’ve ever used. It is worth every penny. It makes a huge difference in your hair.

Excellent brush . Keeps hair in good style

I have used these brushes for over 60 years and when my granddaughter wanted one but was put off by the price I just had to get her one. It makes hair shine and gets out tangles. It is worth the price as they never seem to wear out

Thoroughly brushing with this brush every night for 2 weeks literally changed the texture of my hair from wiry and dry to soft, supple and silky.Best hair investment ever.

Have dealt with seborrheic dermatitis my whole life - wish I found this brush sooner. It really exfoliates my scalp way better than a cheap Conair brush from the drugstore (with the plastic balls on end of the bristles) . I look forward to brushing my hair with it each night because it really calms down my scalp and feels great. Expensive but worth it .

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.

Works well on my hair

For reference, I have EXTREMELY thick, wavy, and long hair that has always been the bane of my existence because it's so hard to manage. I wasn't sure this brush would even be able to get through my hair, but it does just fine. I also don't know what magical powers it has, but it is a great detangler and hardly pulls at all. Does it work miracles on my hair and turn it into a sleek mane? No. But it is still the best brush I have ever used. Whether it is worth $140, only time will tell. (Other brands of brushes always seem to start losing their bristles on me.)

Soft but firm bristles. East to clean

I love my hair bush

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.
