The Marilyn Brush Company's purpose is to provide you not only with the highest quality brushes ever made, but also with an array of tools that will help you achieve the perfect hair do! They have been awarded "The Stylist Choice" award for both 2006 and 2007! At Marilyn Brushes they take great pride in their products because they use only the finest materials available in the marketplace. Their bristles are 100% boar and because of its quality and the way they place them in the brush, they actually close the cuticle of the hair. Marilyn's ceramic brushes are not made of metal but rather of a perfect combination of plastic and ceramic that allows the brush to heat for up to 10 minutes, making the blow dry a very fast process, but without causing any damage!!
