Will this brush get softer with time? I have used it about 4 times and its very course but as my first brush i have no comparison...

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.

You don't want it softer than it is. Any softer and it will cease to satisfy me. Badger is softer than boar anyway ....

It's my second brush, and does seem a bit softer than it did at first. That said, I thought it was pretty good to begin with.

Yes. The first two or three uses were not as comfortable as later uses. I am very pleased with the brush.

In my experience with it, it can be a bit abrasive when you first start brushing (maybe because it's still a bit dry, maybe because it takes a few minutes for your skin to adjust to the sensation). By the end of my brushing session, it is pretty soft - enough so, that I find myself applying more pressure to offset the softness.

I'd say that the brushes are soft. The brush stiffness does not seem to impact the cleaning for me. It is all about the ionic charge.

hi cindy, i haven't used the brush lately due too short hair but when i did use it i had good results. i also had permed hair when using it didn't notice any extra dryness. my cousin is using one now and her hair looks awesome. i recommend the product, oh one thing, the air can get hot on the scalp. my cousin is currently using it and her hair looks awesome. good luck!!!

I don't thing so, once it goes you have to buy another one, I just up grade it. That's all I know to do. I love the brush so much, and how good it works I get great reports from my dentist and Iam handicapped and it works great for me.

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.

I'll be honest, I do not have much experience on the subject, this is my first set of makeup brushes, and the truth is that its bristles are super soft, and I have washed several times and have not dropped a hair. It's probable that they are 100% natural goat hair, but I guess someone with more experience can get us out of this doubt.

Well, I have to say that yes, I find that the ultra soft sensitive brush head does last a shorter amount of time. A partial reason for me is that I tend to brush hard; harder than necessary or perhaps desired for optimum cleaning. I am experimenting, but won't know for sure till I use up the next brush head.

I replace my brush about every 6 months. According to anything you read, your supposed to replace the brush, probably every 30-60 days, however, I use the brush as directed, w/o much pressure (but some, of course), and my bristles are straight and in great shape for an extended amount of time. I feel that I get a significant amount of life out of every brush -better than I initially expected.Additionally, I have tried off-brand brushes, and I have not had a good experience. The off-brand brushes had considerably less power than the Philips brand brushes.

I've never noticed the bristles getting soft(er) when using it with a hair dryer. The bristles are gentle enough, though, that if you are trying to lock your hair in place to dry particular sections in a particular manner, the hair will fly away as it dries, the brush is not meant to be firm. Which is why it is fantastic.

There are two brushes that come with the sonic care toothbrush system. I have only used one of them. To me it seems fine - not too soft not too hard. I hope this helps!

I replaced mine after having the 1st for almost 2 years of daily use. It was still in excellent condition except that the bristles weren't as stiff. I used the brush mainly for exfoilating prior to shaving my legs so I wanted stiffer bristles. It would have still been fine as a general body/back brush. Replacement time would vary depending on how stiff you like the bristles to be, probably every 1-3 years.

Not hard but not soft. The large brush and angled brush both have lost their shape on me and have become rough. I cannot straighten them with washing. I would recommend spending the extra from the ELF Studio brushes, which are much more soft.

It all depends on what you are looking for in a dry brush. I find it to be just fine for me, I like soft bristles because I have sensitive skin and cannot take the harsher bristles. It is great in the shower and offers me the skin sloughing I was looking for.

First charge took longer than one night. I left it charging next day when I went to work, and it was fully charged when I came home. I can't tell you how many hours it took to fully charge the first time, but what you are experiencing is consistent with my experience. It is a great brush, I prefer it to my old Sonicare Essence.

I had one like this and it only lasted a few months, and the brush kept falling off. Previously I used this brand and had no problems. I think the other one looks like a newer model, maybe better?

The firmness in this brush comes mostly how dense the hair is grouped. Compared to a toothbrush I'd say it's on the "soft" side.
