Sturdier than they look - Updated [SEP] These brushes give a good massage while washing my hair.  Would be great for dog baths. Soft, but sturdy.  Come packed in a 2 bag sales unit.<br /><br />Update, 3/15; when pressing too hard, the brush does come apart.  It is a 3-piece brush, and the handle does not stay attached while using, and the middle nub brush section pushes in and comes apart.  I Will need to look for a solid unit if available.
