Mason Pearson Junior Bristle and Nylon BN2
Boar bristle moves the hair's own oil down the shaft in a way nylon cannot, and the mixed tufting is what gets it through density. The Junior is the size most people should buy; the full Popular is bigger than most heads need.

Our verdict on the Mason Pearson Junior Bristle and Nylon BN2
Two hundred and seventy five dollars for a hairbrush, and it is the finishing step rather than a detangler. Buy it once or do not buy it.
