Mason Pearson Brushes for Very Dense or Coarse Hair

Very dense and/or coarse hair requires a brush with smooth, stiff filaments. The #1 choice here is the Universal. With its complement of four stiff nylon filaments in each tuft, it has the best chance to work through very thick and/or coarse hair.

The Handy and Pocket Nylon would be good choices for shorter hair.

It is possible that if your hair is at the extremes of density and/or coarseness that there is no Mason Pearson that will brush your hair effectively.

If you haven't yet had a look at our full Brush Guide, we recommend doing so.
