I have always wanted to purchase a Mason Pearson brush. I decided to buy the small version because I thought it would be the most versatile for home, travel and my purse. Tressence was the best price on the internet. The delivery was very, very quick! I also purchased the detangling comb. Again best pricing. I can't say enough about the brush and it's function for my fine hair. I have a lot of hair but it is fine and now color treated. This brush makes my hair look years younger in quality and shine. It's instant! My hair stays clean much longer. I have shoulder length hair and I had been concerned that the brush might be too small. It isn't. It's perfect. If you have been holding off purchasing a Mason Pearson brush I advise against the idea. The investment is worth it and quite inexpensive when you consider the daily usage. I purchased the all boar bristle since this was recommended particularly for fine hair. I had another brush which wasn't MP but a mixed natural bristle with plastic but the copy (which was also expensive) isn't the same what so ever. I only wish I had made the jump years ago to a Mason Pearson.
