Hey I got a hard brush but it feels too hard and I was thinking about boiling it. I just wanted to know has anyone tried this and does it make the brush too soft or do anything at all? Give me comments and any other meths if applicable.....

After about the fourth time doing it , it should be slightly softer permanently, and wassup wit all these quick question titles for a minute I thought it was a duplicate and was going to delete this.

Man I don't know I just happened to have a quick question and I guess there was some kind of coinky dink my dude. But yeah I aint tryin to make it permanent soft but still hard but not as hard bcuz it be hurting my tender head... So one boil should do the trick?

1-2 boils should do it or take that brush to the shower with you to break it in until you feel it's soft enough.

If you need a hard brush, buy a hard brush.
If you need a medium brush, buy a medium brush.
If you need a soft brush, buy a soft brush.

Bristle consistencies vary from brush to brush.

Umm thanks for the concern but I don't think you read my post thouroughly so lets reiterate... I said its a hard brush but its too hard (even if my hair is high and the medium aint cuttin it) I know the difference from a softee, medium, and hard brush.... I was just simply trying to find out if there was a way to break it out of that real hard have ya head poundin mode ya dig....
