Kellie Chasse | Stray hairs in your watercolor brush? #brushtips @KellieChasse | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 10 minutes ago.
If you have a watercolor brush with a stray hair, you can usually handle it without too much fuss. Here are a few steps you can take:

Reshape the Brush: Wet the brush and gently reshape it using your fingers or a brush comb. Sometimes a little water can help realign the bristles.

Trim the Hair: If the stray hair is particularly annoying, you can use a pair of sharp scissors to carefully trim it. Just be sure not to cut too much or affect the overall shape of the brush.

Use Brush Conditioner: Applying a brush conditioner or a bit of mild soap can help in keeping the bristles in place and may help reduce stray hairs.

Clean the Brush: Ensure your brush is clean and free from any paint residues. Sometimes stray hairs can be a result of leftover paint or dried particles.

Proper Storage: Store your brush properly, with the bristles up or in a brush holder, to maintain its shape and prevent stray hairs.

If the problem persists or the brush is old, it might be time to consider replacing it.
