The Mason Pearson BN4 Pocket Bristle & Nylon combines fine natural boar bristles with nylon tufts in the compact Pocket size. Developed for normal to thick hair , this combination unites the smoothing effect of boar bristles with the detangling properties of nylon.
With a length of just 17.1 cm, the BN4 is the compact version within the classic Mason Pearson series. This makes the brush practical for daily use, but also easy to carry in a bag or when traveling.
The BN4 has 5 rings with fine boar bristles and nylon tufts . Both materials have their own function within the brush.
The natural boar bristles help distribute the hair's natural oils from the scalp along the hair lengths. This helps make the hair smoother and softer and supports a natural shine. The firmer nylon tufts help move the brush through normal to thick hair and aid in detangling.
Mason Pearson recommends the Bristle & Nylon brushes for normal to thick hair. The combination is particularly interesting when pure boar bristles do not penetrate the hair sufficiently and extra detangling action is desired.
If you have very fine or thinning hair, Mason Pearson offers other versions with softer or exclusively natural boar bristles. For very thick, coarse, and difficult-to-manage hair, a Mason Pearson with exclusively nylon tufts might actually be more suitable.
The BN4 is one of the smallest classic Mason Pearson brushes. Its compact size is designed for grooming on the go, quick touch-ups, and use in a handbag or travel bag.
Those looking for the same combination of boar bristles and nylon in a larger brush can choose from larger sizes with more rings of bristles within the Mason Pearson range.
The BN4 is handcrafted with Mason Pearson's signature Dry Natural Rubber (DNR) cushion . The bristles and nylon tufts are set into this.
The handle and base are made of cellulose acetate plastic . Because boar bristles are a natural material, the bristles may vary slightly from brush to brush, according to Mason Pearson.
Brush the hair gently in even movements. The combination of boar bristles and nylon helps to detangle the hair and distribute natural oils from the scalp along the hair lengths.
Regularly remove loose hairs from the brush and follow Mason Pearson's maintenance instructions for thorough cleaning. Proper maintenance helps keep the rubber cushion and bristles in good condition.
