What is the Mason Pearson Pocket Pure Bristle Hairbrush B4?

The Mason Pearson Pocket Pure Bristle Hairbrush B4 in Black is a compact, handcrafted hairbrush featuring five rings of pure boar bristle tufts, designed to gently detangle, smooth and enhance the natural shine of finer-textured hair.

Suitable for hair with fine individual strands or fine hair with high density, the brush helps distribute natural oils from the scalp through the hair, leaving it looking smoother, shinier and more polished.

The brush features Mason Pearson's signature orange air-cushioned pad, made from Dry Natural Rubber (DNR). This flexible cushion follows the contours of the scalp to provide a gentle, soothing massage with every stroke.

Handcrafted using traditional techniques pioneered by Mason Pearson over 130 years ago, the brush features a polished black cellulose acetate handle and base, finished with the brand's signature hot foil-embossed logo.
