bristles break easily [SEP] i love the shape of these brushes it is definitely my favorite part it is easy to hold in your hand and you feel like you are getting a lot of hair with each strokebut i prefer the wet brush to this i wanted to find an alternative because the handles snap off the wet brush so easily and they collect lint like crazy this is okay but even on my daughters very fine and stick straight hair the bristles are breaking off the bristles on these are more stiff but it seems like they are just plastic that is melted and stuck onto the plastic base and it does not take much to get them to pop off i guess i would rather the bristles break than the hair but i am still disappointed
