Bass Brushes The Green Brush, Bamboo Pin Hair Brush
Bass Brushes
The Green Brush, striped bamboo handle with solid bamboo pins and a rubber cushion pad
Bamboo where a plastic brush is plastic; held out of the low band by an undisclosed cushion pad and finish.
A detangling brush with a striped bamboo handle and solid bamboo pins instead of the molded plastic body and nylon ball pins of a standard hairbrush. The pins ride on a cushion pad whose material the brand does not name, which is the main open question on this card.

- Packaging
- Paperboard hang card per listing imagery; not formally disclosed by the brand.
- Microplastics
- A plastic hairbrush wears at the pin tips and handle over years of use and every discarded one persists as plastic. Bamboo pins and handle wear as wood fiber. The unknown is the cushion pad, which flexes constantly; if it is a synthetic rubber it is a small shedding surface.

About Bass Brushes
Bass Brushes is an American grooming-tool maker established in 1979 and now sold in more than 40 countries to stylists, barbers, and home users. It makes wood and bamboo hair brushes, body and spa brushes, beard and shaving brushes, and bamboo-handled toothbrushes.
The brand's pitch is that better results start with better natural materials and craftsmanship, and its bamboo Green Brush and Green Toothbrush lines are the closest it comes to plastic-free. It publishes no third-party certifications, many core brushes use boar bristle rather than vegan fibers, and it sits at a premium price, so the eco angle applies to specific lines rather than the whole range.
