A convenient working brush for craftsmen is worth its weight in gold. Therefore, the issue of proper instrument care is especially relevant. To make your laminating or painting brushes last longer, you need to follow just a few simple rules:

1. Wash every time after work. Eyebrow dye is highly absorbed, which is why the shade may be distorted the next time you paint it with a different color, and when it dries, it can disrupt the structure of the pile.
2. Use special disinfectant compounds for antiseptic treatment.
3. Dry well, spread on a towel.

You should also protect your brushes from contact with heating devices and prevent them from being exposed to direct sunlight for a long time. For storage, it is better to use special cases that will help protect the applicator from deformation and contamination. You also need to change the tool in a timely manner. If the brushes are worn out, they should be replaced, because their quality directly determines the comfort of use and the result of the eyebrow artist’s efforts.
