Why Squirrel Hair for Gel Art?
The use of natural squirrel hair in the DB13R line offers unique benefits for gel artists:
-
High Absorbency: Squirrel hair holds a significant amount of gel polish in the "belly" of the brush, allowing you to paint long, continuous lines without having to reload.
-
Extreme Softness: The delicate nature of the hair ensures the brush glides over the nail surface without leaving "track marks" or streaks in the gel.
-
Flexible Precision: While soft, the hair is hand-aligned to maintain a sharp point, giving you total control over the width of your lines.
Care and Maintenance
To preserve the delicate natural squirrel hair of your DB13R brush:
-
Gel Priming: Before use, dip the brush in clear base gel or top coat to ensure the fibers are conditioned and move together.
-
Gentle Cleaning: Use a specialized brush cleanser or a drop of clear gel on a lint-free wipe to remove color. Avoid acetone, as it can dry out and damage natural squirrel hair.
-
Reshape the Tip: Always twist the brush gently as you pull it through a wipe to restore the fine point before replacing the cap.
-
Proper Storage: Store horizontally to protect the integrity of the birchwood handle and the fine hair shape.
