anatomy of a brush and basic care.
Ladies and gents let me introduce you to brush.
While most brushes are a blend of natural hair, vegan friendly synthetic brushes are readily available on the market, as well as synthetic/natural hair blends. It is also not uncommon to still find a sponge tipped applicator as well.
Furrule: This metal tubing that is clamped around your fibers and and handle and works as a bridge for both peices. It protects the glue that binds your fibers and the open cut of the handle.
Handle: This is the portion of the brush that you will grip for application.
Your brush is your friend!
Now with that out of the way!
Cleaning your brushes is crucial for so many reason, it extends the longevity of the brush, it allows true color application, and most importantly it allows you to work with sanitary conditions. While every other day is the most optimal schedule you can use for brush cleansing, you can always safely wait for the end of the work week.
Now don't be intimidated by the aspect of cleaning your brushes, nothing extraordinarily fancy is needed for this process, you only need a few simple items that you probably already have. A gentle shampoo such as baby shampoo or one for chemically treated hair, a bowl, warm water, and some paper towels. I recommend still working in your bathroom since it can get very wet.
After filling your bowl up with warm water, drop two capfuls of baby shampoo and agitate the water to it it all mixed together. Dip ONLY your bristles into this bowl, its okay if the furrele gets a little wet but try to keep it as dry as possible
