Mason Pearson. The golden child of brushes.

Screen Shot 2013-08-22 at 1.33.44 PMAsk me my #1 hair grooming tool. Ask me what useful hair accessory I would be most lost without. Go ahead. It is my Mason Pearson brush and it is more precious to me than gold.

I am a product and gimmick skeptic. I rolled my eyes for years at the thought of spending more than $15 on a brush. How could it be any better than any other brush? But then I overheard someone I know and trust absolutely ranting and raving about the brilliance of the Mason Pearson brush. So I went for it with my last tax return.

Mason Pearson is a brush company out of London that established in the late 1880’s. They design and hand make cellulose cushion brushes with boar bristles and perfectly smooth easy to hold handles. These brushes are absolutely unrivaled.

I use mine several times a day. My Mason Pearson brush has taken the place of any heat and smoothing hair product that I would have once used to tame my unruly mane. Instead of shine spray or drops, a couple of swipes with this thing distributes my healthy natural hair oil into my ends, leaving a smooth, shiny, seamless finish. It is an absolutely essential part of my ShamPHree routine.

I use it in the salon to finish up-dos. I brush my kids hair with it. My kids brush their own hair with it. Do you hear me?!?!? My kids brush their own damn hair with my Mason Pearson brush because their young and innocent minds can feel and see the superiority of it. They stand in the mirror brushing their whisp-y spider web hairs and smiling at themselves.

Today, I want to share a little brush and powder trick I use often. This little trick comes in handy when I feel like I am due for a ShamPHree but I want to stretch it out a couple more days. It freshens my hair, smooths it, gently cleans it, and evens it out from root to tip. It is how I powder my hair without the mess.

I take my M.P. brush. I take my NEB hair powder. I sprinkle powder on the brush, and I thoroughly brush my hair. Done!

For this post, I contacted Mason Pearson to see if they wanted to send me a brush to offer you all as a giveaway. They were not interested. I guess they know they are the shit. I am glad for them. They are a golden company with the highest of standards.

I wish I could offer one to you. I want you all to experience the genius of this company and the beautiful hair that it delivers to you by your own hand. I will keep working on em. In the mean time, buy your Mason Pearson brush here.
They are not cheap, but they will be your golden brush for life and you can tell them all your hair secrets and they will never tell a soul.
