If anyone out there has owned a Mason Pearson brush, than you understand about how important it is, to have a good hair brush that keeps hair healthy and shiny. While I love the Mason Pearson, the trouble is: it can be a bit pricey.

Solution…The new Kashuk Tools Bristle Hair Brush at Target. This brush is so amazing, it even looks like the Mason Pearson and it’s only $14.99!

This brush features a luxuriously formed base, densley packed with bristles and a contoured handle to fit    comfortably in hand. It’s perfect size, fit’s great in a purse . What’s not to love?

Very exciting news has surfaced! Frederic Fekkai has just announced the launching of an at-home permanent hair color kit.

The kit is different from other at-home kits. For starters, the delivery of color — a proffesional looking brush — aims to make application more precise than traditional bottle systems, complete with a pointed end to carve out hair sections.

There’s also a special blending technique, which will instruct you to cafefully mix solutions in a supplied bowl, as opposed to shaking it in a bottle.

The special ingredients in the luxurious formula are olive, illipe and lemongrass butters. There are also special scalp soothing agents: rosemary, lavender, nettle and clove flower extract.

Frederic Fekkai Salon Color Kit will be available starting in August at Bloomingdales’s and Ulta Stores.

Retail price $30
