Ask your QuestionWhich are better, natural or artificial bristles? And why? What are their pros and cons?
Asked by duncan on 17th Dec 2020"Hi
Sorry for the late response.
Natural is the best
Natural bristles are made from some sort of animal hair, such as hog or badger. Synthetic bristles are often made from nylon, polyester, or a combination of both. Natural-bristle brushes are best for applying oil-based alkyd paints, and synthetic-bristle brushes are recommended for water-based latex paints.

"synthetic bristles don't absorb oils or powdery pigments. This makes them a great choice for use with cream or liquid products like foundation or concealer."

Only use synthetic bristles for cutting in."
"Natural by far. Prodec do a nice set which you can buy in most builders yard. They give a great finish and no bristle marks"
