Is there any difference with the new style hair brushes, I love both of them but I feel the old style are softer

Also its easier to blend with these. With the older ones sometimes it would leave harsh lines and what not and the best thing about this cute little set is that it comes with a blending brush just made for blending out harsh lines

I did notice a litte difference but not that big except maybe with the adherence of the make up powder to the hair of the brushes. But I'm just an amateur when it comes to make up ^_^ .

Hmm I was wondering why they were so different they are still pretty soft but i would recommend the older ones but these are great for the price :)

I honestly prefer these, I have the old style ones too...but these seem to hold more eye shadow. It goes on a lot easier and in my opinion they work better. But that is just my opinion

I'm not sure exactly because I haven't tried the old ones. However, the new ones are quite soft.

We have been using Sonicare for many years. I bought the battery-powered toothbrush, since it's much more convenient. I have some brushheads from the maybe 10 year old rechargeable, and they fit, and work. I've not actually used them on a daily basis, but I did try one. I'm not surprised that Philips try to sell new brushes, and for all I know, the older style brushes don't work as well as the new style. Doesn't matter to me - usable or not - I love the new battery unit!

It looks like the only difference is the special attachment for pet hair. We tried to compare them very closely. If you don't need that it is less costly.

They both give me a build up feeling by the end of the day. I would try the 10 lite that came out. I haven't found it yet but I'm looking. I have thick hair so for this stuff to weight it down - it'll prob do worse for you. I did find that the keratin was a softer feel than the regular.

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

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.

It will get a little softer but not much. The coarseness is the nature of the hair that it is made from and is necessary to get a good lather and not shed or get "split ends". I've had softer synthetic brushes that have only lasted a couple months.

ask Amazon they should help you get a new one if you have only had this a short time, as for me the brush is way too large for my hair but it is great to just take the brush off and use it to dry my hair good luck take to Amazon they will help you.

I like both brands. They both perform about the same, Gelish I think lasts slightly longer. I find them both to be about the same to remove. I like the Gelish brushes and the cost better.

I found it to have slightly firmer bristles than the genuine heads, but not much firmer. It also appears to have fewer bristles. These head's bristles do not seem to soften with use.

I don't know about the afro hair. I have somewhat curly/frizzy hair, and I find the wood bristles are a lot lower friction than plastic brushes. I have both this and the oval one, and I have small hands, so I find the smaller one easier to use when blow drying, but I bring this one to my hair salon, and my colorist LOVES this brush. She uses it to dry my hair. I hope this helps you decide if you want it.

Don't know - I have short hair and pets (with short hair). But there is a a new 800 model without brushes so less gets tangled - so they say. I have the 560 with upgrade kit ; ) and still ove it.

We have very similar hair, mine is also thick, wavy and well beyond my shoulders. I got the 1.5" and it's really easy to use, just like brushing your hair.

The one pictured here is the one that I received. After that, I saw ones with handles and just went out and bought a Wet Brush, to see if I like that better. They all still feel like they are ripping your hair to me :(

Maryann--I don't have really thick hair so I may not be a lot of help. However, when I first start using the brush, I occasionally have trouble because it grips my hair so much that I can't keep the brush turning the way I'd like. It seems to take me a bit to get used to the new brush and how it's going to act with my hair.

I am not sure if there is a noticeable difference between the two, but I can say there is a noticable difference between using the products and not. I currently only use the shampoo and conditioner but my hair is noticeably thicker, I had very thin sides, and was thinning from the top - and that is now a thing of the past. I can pull my hair back without feeling nervous.. I hope this helps you, I write on very few products...but I can never go without saying something positive about this one.

Sounds like you have a lot of hair. I would go for the bigger one (1.5). It's going to grab more in the bristles with the bigger surface area on the brush, and likely cut down on the amount of time it would take to style. I always find a bigger barrell easier to wield than a smaller one with these dryers, curling irons, etc. My hair is just past shoulders, layered, fairly thick and wavy and this works wonderfully!
