what are the bristles made of?

They are natural boar bristles. The bristles are soft enough for skin but firm enough for effective Skin Brushing.

Actually there are just bamboo tines. there are no bristles. I love the feel on my scalp and the tines do not split your hair because they are thicker.

Handle metal, bristles are plastic. I like it,but it is Xmas present so haven't tried it out yet.

Its actually two pieces of wood and plastic piece on the end which the bristles are attached too. As a scabby brush, its to soft for me.

I don't think they are I think they are all soft bristle. When I ordered them they were the same as I received from my oral surgeon. Best advice I can give is to check with Amazon or on the inner net.

The comb is made of hard plastic, not like a traditional hair brush made with bristles. I use an antibacterial wipe to clean it.

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.

The bristles seem to be just perfect. Not too hard and not too soft. I guess that would be a medium?? Hope this helps...I also purchased extra heads just in case, but the original seems to be holding up great!

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

Jessica, I have two copies of this brush, and there are two kinds of bristles--the straight up kind next to the bulb-on-the-end kind. I'm going to guess here and say both are synthetic. I love the brush--and I have thick, curly, fine hair, the kind that would show trouble if this brush was being rough on it.

All is says is anti bacterial synthetic bristles so you would have to ask the manufacturer .

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.

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

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.

They are made of plastic so be careful when removing to clean. Also they give you a half dozen extras. It is a good product.

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

These are natural bristles. I have asthma, and use this brush to dust everything when I vacuum. It is very gentle on furniture. Be aware that since they are not synthetic, with frequent use the bristles will wear down and have to be replaced every few years. It is a fantastic dusting brush.
