Regular brushing plays an important role in the condition of your hair. The Mason Pearson brushes and combs clean the hair, stimulate the scalp and help to distribute oils evenly across the scalp. The cellulose plastic handles on all of the brushes are hand polished and are made to be more comfortable to hold. Though they cannot make indestructible products, Mason Pearson makes a conscience effort to use the best materials available to make their products last as long as possible.
