Best Detangling: Mason Pearson Handy Bristle & Nylon Hairbrush
- Why We Love It: Mason Pearson brushes have earned a loyal following among top hairstylists (think Guido Palau and Jen Atkin) as well as a long list of celebrity fans, including Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss, Kate Middleton, and Jenna Ortega. It’s a favorite of Bridgerton darling Phoebe Dynevor too. “I remember my grandmother every time I use this brush,” Dynevor said in her Vogue Beauty Secrets. The appeal goes well beyond the name: they’re famously long-lasting, often becoming the kind of tool people keep for years and even pass down—which is why Vogue’s head of content Chloe Malle and her actor mother Candace Bergen consider it “the only brush you’ll ever need.” First crafted in the late 1800s and still made with meticulous care today, it’s a brush that’s earned its iconic status.
- Editor’s Note: “All I will say is that I have been in a relationship with my Mason Pearson brush longer than my husband. The medium-size white brush was given to me by my mother when I was about 12, I still have it and use it almost daily (I have curly hair so brushing is not always in order). I clean the line of grey gunk that accumulates on the edge with an acetone-free nail polish remover and comb the bristles with a delightful hairbrush cleaning tool that looks like a Lilliputian garden rake. After a cleaning, the brush appears much the same as it did when I removed it from its retro 1920s-designed box nearly three decades ago.” —Chloe Malle, head of content
