Does this brush have extra firm bristles? I rarely find a brush that is firm enough for my scalp.

My daughter's hair is fine, so I'm not sure I can answer your question. However, after examining the brush again the bristled seem firm and sturdy. Instead of bending in response to tangled hair, the bristles seem to stand up well while de tangling without causing pain.

Hi sleeksenior! I find the bristles to be pretty firm, at least for my hair and scalp - and I have a lot of hair!Best,Natalie

yes the bristles are extra firm--this is the best brush I've ever had-I have long thick hair that gets in knots and tangles and this brush gets rid of them all!!

The brush didn't come with any. I use just a facial scrub or cetiphil which is very gentle. I just love love love the brush. It's great on feet also.

I have curly/kinky, medium density hair. If I can get it through mine, you should have no problem. What I love about it is that once you can easily brush it from root to end, you get a wonderul scalp massage, and the mixture of nylon and boar bristles feels very good without being hard. HTH

I am 61 years old and have fine but fairly thick hair. The Mason Pearson with not pull or break your hair when you brush through it. It is very effective but doesn't cause any damage. I have used one since I was in my 20's and I can assure you that it is one of the best brushes I have ever used. I have tried all brands and pure boar bristle brushes but the combination of the nylon/boar bristle far surpasses any I have used. Hope this helps you make your decision to buy one.

The nylon bristles are not stiff but they do hold the hair if your hair is shorter. It does great for my short hair.

My hair is curly and even more so in humid weather, but my hair is thin. I chose the green (normal) brush. It works fine for me. The bristles go right to my scalp, no matter how messy my hair is. I would think the blue brush has longer bristles, not completely sure though.

We have upgraded the bristles from natural vegetable-based to boar bristles! They are practically identical in feel and texture, and it is hard to tell the difference. The bristles are not too firm but firm enough for good Dry Brushing to exfoliate and stimulate. Thank you! Sublime Beauty.

I too feel that this brush just treats my hair better. It does not split and it really cuts down on static flyaway. Also--they will last for freaking EVER. I can't even remember how many years ago I bought my first one--but just bought the second one for a gift. It comes with replaceable bristles in case some fall out (but I have not found that to happen with mine). Brushing with this wood brush is like a scalp massage--it feels SO good. I highly recommend it.

My personal input..I really love this brush it really is great for the scalp and doesn't tangle the hair..I would brush it well before I shampoo and during the cleaning I think this would help a great deal.And use some coconut oil great for that as well.Hope this helps!

It makes your scalp FEEL good, as well as brushing your hair without tearing at it.This is a quality brush-the wooden handle has a good feel to it, too. Love this brush, and have given 3 away as gifts. Everyone loves them.

That's a good question to ask! I believe it is 100% boar's hair. The bristles are firm but they give when you brush - no ouchy scalp scratches!

Without a doubt. It 'messages' the scalp while combing very nicely through your hair; I've used a Mason Pearson brush for decades and appreciate the difference between it and a standard one...

I have ordered 5 of these brushes over the past year and a half. The bristle stiffness definitely varies with each brush. I have noticed that if a brush is stiffer than the last, they soften up pretty quickly.

That may be an issue for real thick hair. The bristles are about 3/4 of an inch.WE do offer another brush by Olivia Garden called the finger brush and it's excellent for thick hair.

The bristles are firm but not hard. The brush works very well for me. This is a quality product.

I also have thick hair, although mine is straight. With other brushes I usually get poofiness; with this one I've noticed my hair is much softer and smoother after brushing. The wooden bristles absorb some of the natural oils from the roots of your hair and help spread the oil to the tips of the hair. The only downside to this is it can get some dust collecting on the bristles if you brush your hair when it is not clean. To avoid that, I only use this brush after washing my hair (2-3 times per week). My hair is healthier than it has ever been. Hope this helps :)
