It looks like some sort of wiring inside

A steel wire brush isn't.

I was initially going to say "my hairbrush isn't", but I forgot plastic is largely made of carbon, so you's still be right.

    I don't. I have people to do that for me.

    (But to answer your question, with a small amount of carbon, sure, but in my opinion that doesn't mean that steel is "made out of carbon" any more than we would say humans are made out of iron)
