Are the bristles made of metal or plastic. Are they soft are hard?

The bristles are made of metals. They are not soft, but pokey. And my dogs give me faces when I hold the brush and they've learned to cringe upon seeing this brush. :(

metal, just like any other slicker... the difference is that the bristles are contactable and make it easy to clean the brush... also the design of the ergonomic handle makes it easier to brush

Bristles are stainless steel. Just the right stiffness, they do not scratch the dogs's skin but rather massage it. We are very happy with this brush.

Not stiff, and not overly soft either. I find the brush just fir enough to be useful. I suppose they are like a medium toothbrush.

They're wooden handles & really poor quality bristles. Very hard & scratchy.

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.

Nylon bristles, wood type handle. I've used them in classroom setting and am very happy with them. Easy to clean. Hope this helps you...

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 a very soft fine grade of nylon. The package contains 2 brushes. I clean the brushes about once per week. I soak it in a water/peroxide solution and then put it through the dishwasher cycle. It has never made my skin break out. Since I have never used the electric brushes I can't compare them, but I really like this product. If you want a natural bristle then these are not for you. I wanted something that would clean my skin without irritating it and for this purpose it works well on my sensitive skin.I hope this helps.

Believe it or not, they are. I find that they are very actually pretty stiff (with the exception of the fan brushes) and thick. I have had them for a couple of weeks now and I have had no shedding problems. Especially for the price, these are very good quality brushes. Hope that helps

I consider these bristles relatively soft. I don't think they could scratch anything. The brush is completely full of bristles so you get a lot of scrubbing. I like how good a job it does.

The bristles are a combination of synthetic hair and animal (not sure what type of animal) but they are really soft.

I love the answers we rated it from soft to hard. Guess it all depends. Soft to me is when you press the bristles and they go down easly. Hard is when your press on them and they don't go down. Looks like you will just have to try it.

Hi, they are made out of a hard durable plastic. They are very easy to clean.

I don't know for sure, but I can imagine them being damaged, the bristles inside are plastic.

Feels like nylon or some other type plastic material, but a finer bristle than you find on a hand scrub brush.

I think they should be called soft. That's what they are labeled and what I always use. Don't detect that they are any different than what I always use. Had a little problem with the first one I used. Some bristles came loose after a few brushings but, so far, that hasn't continued as a problem.

The body and finger loop are pretty rigid plastic but the bristles are very flexible.

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.
