What is the Mason Pearson Handy Bristle & Nylon Hairbrush BN3?

The Mason Pearson Handy Bristle & Nylon Hairbrush BN3 in Black is a handcrafted hairbrush designed to gently detangle, smooth and enhance the natural shine of mid-length hair.

Featuring six rings of boar bristles and nylon tufts, this brush combines the detangling strength of nylon with the natural oil-distributing properties of boar bristles. Together, they help leave the hair looking smoother, healthier and glossier.

The BN3 is particularly suited to medium-textured hair and fine hair with high density, offering a balanced brushing experience for everyday grooming.

Its signature orange air-cushioned pad is made from Dry Natural Rubber (DNR), allowing the brush to flex gently with the contours of the scalp while providing comfort and stimulation during brushing.

The brush features a polished black cellulose acetate handle and base, finished with Mason Pearson's signature hot foil-embossed logo.

A dedicated cleaning brush is included to help maintain the hairbrush.

Who is it best for?

The Mason Pearson Handy Bristle & Nylon Hairbrush BN3 is recommended for:

• Mid-length hair
• Medium-textured hair
• Fine hair with high density
• Hair that needs gentle detangling
• Hair that would benefit from natural oil distribution
• Anyone wanting smoother, shinier-looking hair
• Those who prefer a combination of boar bristles and nylon tufts
• Anyone looking for a handcrafted hairbrush for everyday grooming

What problem does it solve?

The Mason Pearson Handy BN3 helps address tangles and uneven distribution of natural scalp oils.

The nylon tufts help detangle the hair, while the boar bristles distribute natural oils along the lengths to enhance smoothness and shine.

Its flexible air-cushioned pad also follows the contours of the scalp, providing a comfortable brushing experience.

Tangled, dull-looking hair → nylon detangling + boar bristle oil distribution → smoother, glossier-looking hair.
