Hi.. Are the bristles soft or stiff? (I'm thinking soft would be easier on fragile hair...) Thank you!

Hello! The bristles appear to be made of Nylon and are long, soft and flexible, not overly stiff and firm. The product takes some time getting use to. I believe soft or stiff may be a matter of perception, however, they are flexible.

They are stiff but I've had no problems with entanglement or breakage and I have very fine hair.

They are stiff, they grip really well, I've used them with dry and wet hair. It doesn't seem damaging. I think you'll be very pleased with them��

I have the medium size and they are definitely on the softer side. I had the smaller at one time and they may have been a bit more stiff.I just felt them and you can push them in without feeling like they bristle will hurt.I think they are worth trying at least--Good Luck with your decision.

They aren't too bad. I don't think they'll break your hair. Try a spray leave in conditioner on ur wet hair first for more strength. Frizz Ease by John Frieda is my favorite.

I would consider them medium. My wife & I both love this toothbrush. I use it more gingerly than she. It would seem the pressure used to actually brush is more of a factor than the soft, medium or hard bristle type, in my humble opinion anyway. There seem to be three different types of bristles on the brush head itself. Hope this helps !

I have small-to-medium sized woman's hands, and this fits well in my hand. Not sure what "original" bristles are, so I guess I'd have to say soft bristles, but this grooming brush works very well on my kitties and my Labrador and the bristles don't hurt them. Hope this helps!

Yes, but it might be a little too soft. I'd go with a more shorter hair and stiffer bristle brush. Hope that helps.

I've read on many other reviews to use a soft bristle brush. I have sensitive teeth and didn't experience any discomfort in my teeth but a little in my gums but it only lasted a few minutes.

It is a very stiff bristled brush for beards. I think too stiff for the scalp.

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

I have washed it many times and it has remained soft. I used to wash it just with baby shampoo. Now I use Dr. Brommers soap. They both cleaned the brush well, and it is still soft for me! I have also heard that if you want to restore some moisture back into your brushes, you can mix some olive oil in with whichever soap you use to condition the brush hairs while you clean them.

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.

I don't think this brush will work well for long thick hair. Its bristles aren't stiff enough in my opinion.

I find the bristles very soft. If you apply pressure, you probably could irritate your skin, but if you use gentle strokes, you should be okay. I use circular strokes when washing my face.

No, the bristles are too soft in my opinion. It probably depends on the type of cleaning job.

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.

Hi - The bristles are made of metal and are very sharp. I would look for a comb instead or a nylon brush. I just feel like this one is too sharp and may hurt their skin if they don't have thick hair.

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.

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.

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!!!
