Are the bristles made of metal or plastic. Are they soft are hard?

The bristles are made of metals. They are not soft, but pokey. And my dogs give me faces when I hold the brush and they've learned to cringe upon seeing this brush. :(

metal, just like any other slicker... the difference is that the bristles are contactable and make it easy to clean the brush... also the design of the ergonomic handle makes it easier to brush

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.

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 are fairly soft but firm enough to do a good job on the teeth. I've been using them for over two years and haven't had any gum problems so they aren't too firm. Hope this helps you.

The are huge hard plastic. They require one to disassemble toothbrush. However the replacement heads come with nifty little covers that are fine for travel.

They are metal. I just pop my comb in then bring my lever up and then they slide into place.

They are soft bristles. Sometimes...it depends how thick of hair I want to curl...learned though as not to get it thick to curl.Ela

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!!!

these are soft rubber. I put them on some steel bar stools I cut off worked great.

I love the answers we rated it from soft to hard. Guess it all depends. Soft to me is when you press the bristles and they go down easly. Hard is when your press on them and they don't go down. Looks like you will just have to try it.

I really don't know. All I can say is that the bristles are very, very soft.

The packaging indicates "P.BT. Bristles." You can find information about this material on line. Some opinions seem to be that they are too stiff, but I don't find that true. They seem very gentle to me.

These are definitely standard. I haven't found any choice as far as the bristles and don't know that they are offered. I'd be interested if they do offer softer ones.

The bristles are a combination of synthetic hair and animal (not sure what type of animal) but they are really soft.

I have new ones with the tag still on them, but they don't say what they're made of. The bristles appear to be regular nylon and the handle is very thick and strong with no recycling info. I love mine!

Yes the bristles are soft. I was afraid they would be rock solid like most curling irons. My hair is short and the barrel looks large but it works just great.
