1. A brush head for one-time use, comprising:
a single strip of a material configured to disintegrate in water; said strip having a contiguous area substantially without incisions and a marginal area adjoining said contiguous area and having a multiplicity of incisions formed therein, said strip being folded in zigzag fashion, said incisions defining a multiplicity of bristles of the brush head each with an end attached to said contiguous area and a free end distal from said contiguous area; and
material bridges connecting said bristles to one another between said contiguous area and said free ends of said bristles, said material bridges forming a connection between said bristles configured to break upon being wetted substantially before said bristles disintegrate upon being wetted and to separate said multiplicity of bristles of the brush head.
