what are the bristles made of?

Animal hair, probably horse? 1" length exposed. The hair on the replacement brush is coarser than on the brush supplied with original purchase of the vac.

Boar's hair- or some other natural animal fiber. No doubt about it. If you burn a fiber, it stinks of hair.

It is a soft material - not stiff as heavy nylon but maybe like a polyester fiber. Soft to the tough but fine for furniture to collect dust. Like a heavy duty paint brush. I hope this helps.

I don't know. But I do know it was great to be able to order new attachments from Amazon. I ordered both the dusting brush and a new floor brush and am very pleased with them.

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

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

The bristles seem to be just perfect. Not too hard and not too soft. I guess that would be a medium?? Hope this helps...I also purchased extra heads just in case, but the original seems to be holding up great!

The bristles are an inch long and they are some stiff. Buy they clear and clean my back.

Actually there are just bamboo tines. there are no bristles. I love the feel on my scalp and the tines do not split your hair because they are thicker.

The others are SOOOO right! HARD PLASTIC. Just went and looked at mine. I had this confused with a drying brush (that I returned). The bristles are hard plastic. But, they are plenty long. I do use it because I feel it's a little kinder to the ends of my hair because (maybe?) I'm not exposing the ends to such high and focused heat as a curling iron or my inStyler. By the way, I could not live without my inStyler. It was a good investment.

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

Uh Oh! A subjective answer is: They lean towards the hard side. Bristles flex easily but are firm. Sorry this isn't a clean cut answer.

Its actually two pieces of wood and plastic piece on the end which the bristles are attached too. As a scabby brush, its to soft for me.

These bristles are made for Contigo. They are not abrasive, but they clean well. I really like them.

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...

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.

They are made of plastic, like many brushes, not metal or natural bristles.

Yes. The bristles are all metal with no plastic on them anywhere. They are very sturdy. . . this brush has withstood my 6yo brushing her doll with VERY tangled hair.

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.
