Are there issues w/ bristles falling out? Just purchased another brand boar bristle brush, & on the first day bristles were coming out. Is it normal?

No way that should be happening. You have a defective brush. Report it and Amazon will send you another brush.

I did not have particular issues with the bristles falling out, but abandoned this one because the plastic bristles were about 1cm longer than the "boar" bristles, which was not what I wanted. I went with a Kent brand brush, which is quite good, but more expensive.

I have been using my brush for a few months now, morning and night, and I have not had ANY issues with bristles falling out. I love this brush! It has really made a difference in the way my hair feels and has helped with shine as well.

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.

I haven't had any bristles fall out - it is in the same shape today as when I purchased it.

Ours has not lost any bristles over many months of reasonable use. However - and not surprisingly, some of the outer bristles have become bent.

Mary - We have used the sweeper for about 3 years and have never had any problems with the brushes falling out.

I've only used the face cleaning brush so far. I have been using it for 3 months, and will probably look for a new cleaning brush soon, some of the bristles are starting to be a bit out of shape.

No That part of it works well. I only had my brush for 5 months and it stopped working. I have to send it back to the manufacturer and they will fix it or replace it. I have to pay to send it back.

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.

Mary, No, I never had a problem with brushes at all. Works great and am very satisfied. Cleans better than expected.

No. I personally have been using this brush for 4 years and it has held up surprisingly well. Thank you for your inquiry.

I think it is real. I bought this one and compared it online to more expensive ones Handy all boar bristle, and it looks identical, from the writing on the handle to the box it came in. The brush itself says The Mason Pearson (no 'brothers')... I think the website just has it listed strangely.

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

We have numerous quality control procedures in place to remove brushes with loose bristles before they ever reach you the customer. We have never had a report from one of our customers yet about their bristles falling out. With that said, it is always important to take a quick look to make sure no bristles fell out no matter what type of brush you are using.

Happy New Year. I've never had to buy any replacement brushes yet since Pretika has sent me replacement units with new brushes, so I have replacement brushes from the old units still. But I did look online and they seem to be available everywhere--online and brick and mortar stores ie. Bed Bath & Beyond. BTW, I received my free replacement charger today. Gotta love this company!

My guess is that it gets my scalp going. I recall boar bristles as being scrtachy or soft. The bamboo pegs on these have round bulby tips that flex so they give my head a real good rub.

No, no trouble with mine. I've had my 1/2 in, Helen of Troy curling brush for about two years, and my 3/4 in. about 5 months with no problems. Maybe they've started using a new formula plastic for the brush bristles or you got a lemon. Bummer. Complain, return?? Not normal in my limited experience.

I've had it for a while now and I use it about 2 to 3 times per day. So far no bristles have fallen off and from the way my brush looks I doubt the bristles would ever really "fall off". If anything I think the bristles would only come out if you purposely violently smashed the brush around till the surrounding area breaks or literally yank out one of the bristles with a tool of some kind.

Have not have any bristles fall out; wood as a stain/finish on it and if wet when placed on surface (with wood on surface) slight stain from brush may occur which is easily removed.
