Question 1

A reviewer below mentions that this brush has nylon quills, but the D82 model is supposed to be just boar bristles. Can someone confirm?

Accepted Answer

This brush IS just boar bristles & I was confused by that one commenter's post that it had nylon quills. It does NOT. There IS a Denman brush that does but its description clearly indicates "nylon pins".  For the record, I own that brush also & it has boar bristles with a nylon pin in the center of each cluster of bristles. I use the 100% boar bristle brush for smoothing & on my delicate edges & the boar bristles with nylon pins for reaching my scalp thru my very thick hair. The 100% boar bristle brush will not penetrate thick hair so choose carefully based on your hair density & styling needs or buy both for each need like I did. I hope this helps!

Question 2

What is natural bristle? Is it boar?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is mostly boar bristle with a single nylon bristle in each 'thatch' or bunch.  It's a nice brush.  We've had a few Jean Pierre brushes and I like this one better.  It works great for long hair, wet or dry.

Question 3

is this as good as a Mason Pearson?  does it last as long?  have the same quality of bristles &perform as well on the hair making hair smooth & shiny

Accepted Answer

Simply no. It is not as quality, but for the price, it is competitively good. It is what I could afford at this time and the brush is performing well. I daresay it will not be as sturdy as the Mason Pearson, but if you are looking to cut prices, it is a great buy. Denmans are great brushes too.

Question 4

I have to really press the brush against my scalp for it to brush any hair. Otherwides it just glides on top. Am I doing something wrong? Fine hair.

Accepted Answer

I bought this for my husband who is balding so he would have a nice brush that wouldn't hurt his scalp - he loves it.  I have used it on my hair, I have very fine, very long hair and it seems to work ok and feels good on my scalp but I prefer my Denman nylon styling brush as it works better for me. I'm not surprised that you have to push hard if you have a lot of hair - although that brush is a great scalp massager:)
