what are the bristles made of?

On the handles of our brushes, it only says "Real Bristle". My husband's brush was recommended for "thinning hair".

Not sure what they are made of. They are not rubbery, but have a slightly rough texture to prevent slips.

I don't know for sure. Not that familiar with veganism. Would doubt they're made with animal products. I'm sure the bristles are synthetic no animal hair.

They are not. They are inexpensive brushes. A bit stiffer than a commercial toothbrush. Perfect for one time use, but too stiff to use as a primary toothbrush.

The bristles are made of very thin plastic. I have had the brush for a year and the bristles have not even come close to melting. The bristles do not have nubby tips at the ends. I love this brush! The best brush I have ever had,. The brush head is not solid, it has great air flow through it. Dries my hair faster and makes it so smooth!

The brush we own is made of ash. The bristles are made of hornbeam wood. They are terrific brushes. Very kind and gentle to ones hair. And they come with extra bristles in case one should come loose. (Hasn't happened to us and we have had two brushes for several years now.)

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

They are hard bristles and not very flexible. Once they are bent they stay bent. There also aren't a lot of bristles, they are flat, rather than coming out from all sides like a bottle brush.

No,its boar bristle. But its from the base of the bristles, rather than the softer tips and I guess there is also a grade of bristle perhaps from younger boars. Its a good brush, don't get me wrong, but its not made of the higher quality softer part of the bristles. I have seen that one in Hammicher Schlemmer for 3 times the cost of this one.

I would not describe the bristles as soft. They will yield to pressure if pressed down with a thumb, but are fairly firm. You could control the amount of pressure applied for a more delicate surface.

Bristles relatively stiff. I think that they are natural -- I.e., boar's hair.

It does not state on the package what the bristles are made of, but in my personal opinion after a close inspection, I believe they are synthetic. It controls frizz amazingly!

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 - 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.

They are a stiff nylon like a hair brush. Wish you were local I would give you mine!

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.
