Professional Maintenance Tips
Pro-Tip: To maximize the lifespan of your natural Kolinsky bristles, never clean this brush with pure acetone, which will strip the natural oils and dry out the hair. Instead, gently wipe it clean using a specialized alcohol-free brush cleanser or clear base gel on a lint-free wipe, then reshape the tip before storing.
