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.

What's inside
Striped bamboo handle and solid bamboo pins per the brand. The cushion pad under the pins looks like dark rubber in brand imagery but its material is not published, and the pin tips and any finish are also unstated.
| Part | Material |
|---|---|
| Handle | Striped bamboo |
| Pins | Solid bamboo |
| Cushion pad | Not disclosed, appears to be rubber |
| Finish | Not disclosed |
| Packaging | Paperboard hang card per listing imagery |
Free of Molded plastic body and nylon pins (replaced by bamboo per brand)
- 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.
