Can someone advise me re Mason and Pearson hairbrushes please?

[diamondsneezer]

I would like to buy one for DD for her birthday. She has thick, down-to-the-middle-of-her-back hair and it's wavy. She will be 9.

She has to have it tied back for school so I need a good brush that I can use to get it into a ponytail quickly easily without too much pulling if you know what I mean!

I'd like to get her a proper brush but am thrown by the choice.

Thank you all - you've convinced me

I know it's perhaps an odd present choice but at £55 it's not something we will just 'acquire'. Good to hear that some of you have treasured yours. Let's hope DD feels the same.
