Are the bristles soft? I have thin fine hair and need volume

Yes the bristles are soft. I was afraid they would be rock solid like most curling irons. My hair is short and the barrel looks large but it works just great.

Hi Elizabeth,I think the bristles are too soft. There are two types of bristles on the brush- thin short ones which are fairly soft, and a bit longer ones slightly harder. They sit next to each other but even so, in combination, did not grab my hair and hold it in place. For this reason I returned the brush. My hair is short, thick and curly and I try to straighten every time I blow dry. I have yet to find a good hot air brush that would do the job.

Bristles are really soft. My hair are thin and fine too. Brush works great.

Yes, the bristles are at least 3/4 inches long, and the bristles are very stiff. My hair is long and thick and it works well.

The bristles should be long enough.I part my head with my fingers or comb into four sections if Im making really sure to get all my hair I also have thick long hair to.Also the bristles don't bend easy the bristles a made with plastic like a brush you have long and short bristles like in order.Outer bristles longer towards middle is shorter to prevent snagging.

No, they are only about 3" long. They are very good for thinner, fine hair.

My hair is about shoulder lenght so it isn't very hard for me. It does not seem heavy either. Its hollow in the center of the brush which helps with drying quicker.

They are soft but also long enough. I don't like styling tools that have really short bristles because it feels like I can't get my hair in them. I like these bristles

yes the bristles are extra firm--this is the best brush I've ever had-I have long thick hair that gets in knots and tangles and this brush gets rid of them all!!

I just purchased the Oral-B Dual Clean Replacement head. They are quite good but I would not call them a soft brush. In face, they are a little stiff when new. I don't know if Oral-B sells a soft head.

Johnny, they're pretty stiff. For me it was duh...what i mean it is an expoliant brush too. So it opens and cleans your pores. Hope this helps. And it is a bit awkward for me to use in my hands and for a woman i have biggish very steady hands. Kimmie

The bristles are thinner, longer and more flexible than a normal hair brush. The brush works well on my wet hair which is fine and thin. To me it's better on wet hair than dry.

The nylon bristles are not stiff but they do hold the hair if your hair is shorter. It does great for my short hair.

The bristles are firm,but not soft. They perform as any quality brush would.

No it's not a soft brush It's a hard brush worked well for me because my hair is very thick coarse and curly but can hurt if pressed to hard on the cheeks and facial area while combing.

They are not bristles. they are more like rubber combs. I have curly hair that gets wild. This iron relaxes the hair and leaves a smooth calm curl. It is just what I needed.

Noise is to be expected. It doesn't bother me. I just increase the volume on my TV or speaker a little when styling. It's not as loud as a blow dryer. I use this hot air brush every time I wash! The style lasts until I wash again. I use a large barrel curling iron for touch ups in between. You should use a thermal styling spray...makes a huge difference! I get tons of compliments on my full, shiny hair! The "brush" on the hot air brush controls hair well, but make sure to comb your hair out first. I hope this helps!

Not really they are thin so if you just want a little boost they are ok but real length...definitely not. I sold them to my sister who has long hair and wanted more volume.
