The unique rubber-cushion pad, made by hand using Mason Pearson’s original techniques, allows for effective and efficient brushing. It is kind to use and massages the scalp. The cellulose plastic handle is hand-polished and any sharp edges are removed to make the hairbrush more comfortable to hold.   * Brushing the hair cleans and polishes it and stimulates the scalp all at once.  And brushing is a wonderful conditioning treatment as it not only distributes oil along the entire hair shaft but gets rid of any scaly particles as well.  This is the way to brush:  ideally, bend from the waist. Brush from the scalp to the ends of the hair in long, slow, firm strokes, touching the scalp each time with the bristles of the brush. * You'll find that a Mason Pearson glides more easily and smoothly through the hair, allowing you to lift your hair in wide curves.  A Mason Pearson brush is designed so that every individual tuft penetrates right through to the scalp.  Too hard a bristle would hack at your hair and scalp, too soft a bristle would slide ineffectively over your head. * Brushing is for all hair types. Dry hair: Brushing activates the tiny oil glands at the case of each hair - so that they lubricate each hair shaft just enough for elasticity and bounce and there's no danger of hair being brittle, dry and difficult to manage. Greasy hair: Brushing helps lift away excess oil from the hair shaft. Dandruff: A Mason Pearson brush reaches every corner of the scalp and makes a thorough job of sweeping away the scales.   The pads are selected for the type of hair to be brushed: Pure Bristle brushes For fine to normal hair, fine long hair.Types: Large Extra, Small Extra, Handy Bristle and Pocket Bristle. The Sensitive models are for very fine or thinning hair.The Child’s model for children aged between 3 and 6 years.   In general, the longer the hair the bigger the brush required. However, if a person is more comfortable with a smaller brush, it may be necessary to use a smaller mixture model instead of a larger pure bristle one.   Model Overall Length Head Length Width   mm inches mm inches mm inches Large Ladies’ 229 9 130 5 1/8 77 3 Medium Ladies’ 226 8 7/8 120 4 5/8 70 2 3/4 Handy 216 8 1/2 110 4 3/8 64 2 1/2 Pocket 172 6 3/4 90 3 1/2 51 2 Large Military 130 5 1/8     83 3 1/4 Medium Military 124 4 7/8     73 2 7/8   WE ARE OFFERING: ONE AUTHENTIC FACTORY BOXED MASON PEARSON - B2 Handy-sized Small Extra stiff pure boar bristle Hairbrush Dimensions: 9" X 2 - 3/4"                     2008 - SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE: $215.00                                    MAINTENANCE GOOD GENERAL CARE OF THE PRODUCT WILL PROLONG ITS USEFUL LIFE Do not use it on applications for which it is not designed; for example , it is not designed to be used on animals . It should not be left continuously in strong sunlight during a large part of its life. The ultra-violet light can perish the rubber and the heat can distort the handle. Important: Do not use oils or spirits on your hairbrush. These can destroy the rubber. Oil-based preparations used on the hair can do the same if allowed to accumulate. Cleaning: The pad and bristles need to be cleaned periodically . For the best results, use a Cleaning Brush, which comes with all the larger models and can be purchased from us for the Pocket size. Otherwise, use a narrow toothbrush. Follow the cleaning instructions below to keep your Mason Pearson Hairbrush in good condition, even after many years of use. Dry clean it frequently. The dead hairs and scales from the scalp can clog the pad and bristles of your hairbrush. 1. Loosen any ‘woven’ strands with a comb. Insert the comb at the sides of the brush as near to the pad as possible and follow round the whole circumference of the brush, lifting the hair away. 2. Draw the Cleaning Brush across the bristles from one end of the pad to the other and then diagonally. If there is an accumulation of dust on the surface of the rubber pad, use the tips of the filaments of the Cleaning Brush to dislodge it using a light scrubbing action. Wash it occasionally. However, you are advised to wash it more frequently, if it becomes apparent that grease is accumulating quickly, because grease in contact with the rubber pad can cause it to deteriorate. Similarly, this applies to hair preparation, oils or chemicals which are likely to remain on the brush after use. 1. Dry clean as above. 2. Make a lather of lukewarm (never hot) soapy water. Do not use detergents, ammonia, petroleum-based products or shampoos to clean the hairbrush. 3.Dip the Cleaning Brush only, and NOT the hairbrush, into the soapsuds and draw it across the bristles from one end of the pad to the other and then diagonally. Use the tips of the filaments of the Cleaning Brush to brush the surface of the rubber pad, with a light scrubbing action in the same way. Hold the hairbrush so that the head is pointing downwards, with the hole at the bottom. This should never be blocked, either when cleaning or when the brush is in use. 4. Dip the Cleaning Brush in clean rinsing water and apply it to the hairbrush. 5. Shake the hairbrush to remove any excessive moisture and leave it to dry with the handle uppermost, and the pad facing downwards. Never dry the bristles with a towel. The bristle and nylon are softened if they become too moist. In the case of a nylon hairbrush only, leave it to dry in an airing cupboard for an hour. If the hairbrush is pure bristle or a mixture of bristle and nylon, then this method should not be used. Natural bristle can become brittle if exposed to dry heat for an extended period. So, leave the brush to dry naturally at a comfortable temperature. Important: Do not use oils or spirits on your hairbrush: these will destroy the rubber. Care of the handle: For plastic handles to maintain their shape, do not boil in water or apply heat to them. Strong chemicals, notably nail varnish remover, can attack the surface or cause the plastic to sink. In addition, these can draw out the coloured dyes and pigments from the plastic. For the wooden handles, all the foregoing applies. Also, the presence of water inside the hairbrush will cause the wood to swell and the coating to crack.    We stock the entire line of  MASON PEARSON BRUSHES!  Do not miss out on this exciting offer.    WE WILL COMBINE SHIPPING SO THAT YOU CAN SAVE $$$$$$$$$$ 1.  We will combine shipping on 5 consecutive days of purchases. 2.  All combined items must be paid in a single payment. 3.  The higher shipping price on a combined shipment will prevail. 4.   $4.00 will be added for each additional alike item purchase.                                                                                         Visit My eBay Store: GM Gift Gallery and Soap Shoppe Check out my other items!
