Professional Knowledge About Brush hair.

When it comes to makeup brushes, hair type is the biggest and most important component. In general, Makeup Brush Hair Types can be divided into three categories: Natural Hair (Soft), Natural Bristle (Coarse) and Synthetic (Man-made).

Natural Hair (Soft):

Only natural hair has a center structure known as the medulla. Medulla is covered by a thick sheath called cortex and is layered by cuticle which is like a shell of scales. The scales and hollows in the cuticle structure are responsible for holding and trapping whatever powders or cosmetics they picked up.So, when you press the brush, the 'trappings' will release the powder, blush or whatever makeup they have picked up. That is why natural hair is the best and most preferred makeup brush hair type as it is able to deliver and 'apply' makeup more effectively. However, the quality of natural hair makeup brushes varies in quality depending on factors such as hair type, type of cuts or harvesting methods used (virgin, first-cut, second-cut or blunt-cut), climates, etc., which can affect the availability and price.

The natural hair includes:Goat Hair,Badger Hair,Squirrel Hair,Pony Hair,Kolinsky Sable,Weasel Hair,Red Sable,Pahmi Hair and so on.

Goat hair or 'Capra' is, another decent quality hair type and is the most commonly used hair type in making cosmetic brushes as they are the least costly to make as the hair is widely available. Like all other hair types used for makeup brushes, they come in a wide range of quality within its type. The softest goat hair is, of course, the first-cut with the tips still intact. They are also sometimes called 'Squirrel Substitute' or 'Squirrel Subs' for short. Goat hair makeup brushes from lower-cut (blunt-cut) are used in the manufacture of mass produced (not hand made), lower quality cosmetic. The top quality goat hair type makeup brush range, is hand-made like any other high quality cosmetic brush to preserve their precious tips. Only handmade high quality goat hair makeup brushes can be considered as a more affordable alternative to Squirrel makeup brushes.

Natural Bristle (Coarse):

Bristle is naturally coarse hence more commonly used for eyebrow groomers usually with the bristles on one side and comb on the other. Bristle with its naturally stiff texture has a similar feel to synthetic hair such as nylon. However, natural bristles have two characteristics ('flag' and interlocked) that are not present in synthetics. The first characteristic of natural bristles is that they have 'flag' tips which just look like 'split-ends'! Second characteristic typical of natural bristle is its interlocked construction. Natural bristles with little flags indicate that they have been cut hence not hand shaped.

Synthetic bristles are also available but the abovementioned flag and interlocked characteristics are hard to copy. Moreover, they lose their shape over time and can look like a cross between a bad hair perm and a 'Vanilla Ice' bad cropped hair which no mouse or gel in the world can fix!

Synthetic (Man-made):

Two most common synthetics used in makeup brushes today are Nylon and Taklon. Unlike natural hair, nylon and taklon do not have the scales or cuticle (see natural hair above) hence are not so 'absorbent' and will not 'trap' makeup media the way natural hair will. As such, taklon makeup brushes, which are usually orange or white in color, are commonly used as concealer brush or liquid or cream foundation brush. Taklon is used as a more affordable substitute for Sable but lacks durability as it tends to 'fan out' and become stiffer with each use. Nylon, on the other hand, is commonly used for eyebrow groomer or eyebrow brush as it is harder than Taklon. Nylon is a common cheaper substitute for natural bristles (see bristle) which are naturally stiff. But, some big cosmetic companies are using nylon for concealer brushes, eyeliner brushes, etc, and not as a substitute for natural bristles but for Sable instead.

Unlike natural hair makeup brushes, which get softer and softer with each use, synthetic cosmetic brushes tend to get stiffer with use. With modern advanced technology, the manufacture of synthetic makeup brushes has become more and more sophisticated and may one day give their natural counterparts a run for the money! But for now, natural hair makeup brushes are still the choice of professional makeup artists and other makeup brush connoisseurs or makeup divas at large!
