Anyone know what the bristles are made of? Have any of you had the bristles melt? Do the bristles have a little nubby tip at the end?

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!

Great brush, for my straight medium length hair. Dries my very thick fine hair quickly, leaving it silky and smooth. My hair takes a long time to dry and most brushes start to melt in the first week of use. This brush has not melted and is very kind to my hair. The bristles are thin, there are no nubby tips. Would highly recommend this brush.

No they don't have the nubby tip at the end. I use them all the time with a hair dryer and with a hot iron and haven't had any of the bristles melt at any time. I don't find them harsh and hard on the scalp like some I have used in the past. These brushes are not soft but they certainly don't hurt your scalp when you brush your hair! I personally love them and been using them 5 years now.

I posted a photo which is a bit distorted slightly widened. But they are great. I've really used the plastic brush A LOT!!!! The nozzle hasn''t really come off for me, the little brushes just go on the end of the nozzle.

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.

The back of the package just mentions that it is a 'Natural Bristle'. It does not clarify what type of 'Natural Bristle' it is. Sorry if I could not be more of a help.

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.

The handles are made of plastic and generally strong enough for daily use. Due to the heat resistance of plastic is different with silicone, the handles do melt if leave touching with hot fry pan. Please do not leave the handles in touch with hot edge of your cooking utensils to extend the life of this product. The handles of brush are made of stainless steel wire and are good based on our customer's feedback. Thank you for your questions.

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.

I'm not sure what bristles are made of, but they are soft. I like mine. I don't use the other attachments, just the brush one and I love it.

Is the inside of the tip made out of plastic? Does the flame melt/burn the inside of the tip?

They are cheaply made -- bristles look worn down after a week --not sure if it's cover placement (or too small for brush) or bad bristles. They are labeled Phillips Sonicare -- but who knows (?)

I've them a few months and the bristles are still intact. It seems to me that bristles coming out - and on the first day - is neither normal or acceptable. I have a quite old (and cheap) bristle brush with the bristles being pushed back into the brush, as if whatever's holding them to the base has let go - but they do not fall out, even if the brush is somewhat useless now because only the topmost part of the bristles show. However, the Spornettes are fine and seem quite sturdy.

No, I have not. The bristles seem to be very secure and do not easily fall out. It really is a great set! :)

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.

The tips are molded as part of the actual bristle. They don't fall off. The brush holds up very well--we've had three of them over the years and are very pleased with the quality and durability.

The original brushes seem to be rubber. I have ordered replacement brushes from Amazon with no issues.

They are hard plastic bristles. However the release function make them gentle on your hair. This is the second one I have owned. It works wonderfully. If you use product in your hair that leaves a deposit on the metal tube, simply retract the bristles and wipe it with a damp cloth. I have tried many and this, by far, has worked the best.
