9. A salon-quality Mason Pearson brush designed specifically for long hair, featuring a luxurious blend of nylon and boar bristles that detangle and distribute natural oils like a dream, turning every brush stroke into a sheer delight.

Dermstore

Promising review: "I have researched this brush for a few years now, I finally bought it about six months ago. I'm so glad I did! Using this brush is so healthy for your scalp; it descales and exfoliates your scalp and distributes the oil in your hair beautifully. I have been under a lot of stress for the past 12 years often on and have dealt with some hair loss off and on as a result. For the past six months of using this, my amazing hairstylist and my mom on separate occasions both noticed how healthy my hair has looked. On top of that, I didn't get my haircut for about a year and a half and they made these comments. It's important to take care of the brush and follow the instructions exactly on how to care for it, and also to not loan anyone due to possibly giving or getting a fungal infection in your scalp from someone. I would like to get the travel size brush so I'm not traveling with this expensive one. This brush is in investment, but I feel like honestly if I take care of it I only have to buy it once and enjoy the rewards that come with using it." —Anonymous
