Are the bristles soft or hard?

I find them to be hard, or at least harder than I'd prefer on a back brush.

I would say the bristles are about medium. They scrub well, but are not so stiff as to be uncomfortable. The problem is the slippery handle. There's no way you'll be able to hold onto it without taping it in some fashion.

Against my hand they felt a bit stiff but not too bad. Against anything else it felt like the kind of brush you would use to clean a grill.

bristles are harder than most brushes I have seen or used, but not so hard to be hurtful. I actually would love to find a stiffer solid piece bath brush, but in 20 years or so, this is the best I have found.

These bristles are not soft, but are firm - they give a real good back scrub.

The bristles are a happy medium and then lean slightly on the soft side. I don't like soft bristles but this brush is just right.

They are not really soft but not as hard as most of the back brushes. I would say stiff and not hard and you can scrub with them and they don't scratch. I think it's a real quality brush. Mary

This brush isn't super soft, the bristles are pure boar hair which are pretty stiff and give you a rough but solid brush.

The others are SOOOO right! HARD PLASTIC. Just went and looked at mine. I had this confused with a drying brush (that I returned). The bristles are hard plastic. But, they are plenty long. I do use it because I feel it's a little kinder to the ends of my hair because (maybe?) I'm not exposing the ends to such high and focused heat as a curling iron or my inStyler. By the way, I could not live without my inStyler. It was a good investment.

They are hard bristles and not very flexible. Once they are bent they stay bent. There also aren't a lot of bristles, they are flat, rather than coming out from all sides like a bottle brush.

Soft. This is the best sonic toothbrush i have ever used. My husband and I have had the best checkups at the dentist since switching to this from our Sonicare. It is messy though, sprays all over the place. (sorry for the late response, i did not see this email in my in box- too much junk mail!)

Yes the bristles are nice and soft. Im very happy with this brush and I do recommend it. I am a makeup artist and my clients like how soft it feels when I'm applying their foundation.

Well I wouldn't say hard, but I wouldn't say soft either. So maybe somewhere in between. Hope that helps. Also I would really recommend them.

They are actually a medium bristle...not too soft...not too hard...I use this brush on my boats and trailers and in my construction business. This brush tackles most of the things I have to clean with no problem.... I highly recommend this brush to any and to all!!!

They are normal size but are soft not hard. They give a good brushing though. It is well worth it!

The packaging says "soft" in the upper top right, but the bristles seem slightly firmer than a soft toothbrush.

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.

They are hard plastic bristles. However the release function make them gentle on your hair. This is the second one I have owned. It works wonderfully. If you use product in your hair that leaves a deposit on the metal tube, simply retract the bristles and wipe it with a damp cloth. I have tried many and this, by far, has worked the best.

I measured the bristles. They are about an inch long. They are rather stiff. Go gently the first couple of times using the brush until you get used to it.

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.

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

They are soft bristles. Sometimes...it depends how thick of hair I want to curl...learned though as not to get it thick to curl.Ela

Bristles vary from 5/8 to 3/4, overall and within clusters. Outer ring bristles are a bit longer, because of the slight curvature of the handle. That gives an almost flat surface to the bristle tops. I would describe it as 'firm' but perhaps not 'stiff'. Best hairbrush I've ever had, but, I have standard length and density MALE hair.
