how to make brush soft

[genduk26]

hi everyone,
do u know how to make your brushes soft? it's NOT about cleansing brush!! i have searched it but i couldn't find it. moderators: feel free to move or merge this thread

anyway, i found the video about how to make brush soft in youtube (YouTube - 1 way to make your brushes soft). i never use coconut oil. so i'm not sure should i get coconut oil or not? or do you have other ideas?

Use conditioner with them.

It cleans them and makes them soft.

I use a deep conditioner named Mizani that is the best!!! It makes my brushes super soft but does not compromise the amount of product that the brushes pick up.

i use conditioner every after wash the brush. but sometimes it feels greasy especially brushes for foundation (190 / 187). i use pantene conditioner. is it ok? where can i get this Mizani brand?
do u think using coconut oil & olive oil are a good idea?

I normally use a deep conditioner specifically for color treated hair. that way the pH is lower and the ingredients are a bit more gentle. I use redken shea butter for color treated hair. Makes my face brushes very soft.

so basically any conditioner will make every brush soft includes SE, LE, cheap & handmade brushes. am i rite? or should i read/find specific ingredient before i buy the conditioner?
thanks for all of your advices.

I use a cheap Trader Joe's conditioner on my brushes and I like the result.

Conditioners are great for brushes, if yours feel greasy after conditioner use a conditioners for greasy hair - they wont have added oils. I even comb through my bigger brushes when they have conditioner on them!

Hmm does it hurt to wash your brushes in shampoo? i ran out of MAC brush cleaner and have been too lazy to go get some new one. but I figured if its real hair, then shampoo will be ok for it? the last time i washed all my brushes with shampoo (a little glob in a glass of warm water until it gets all sudsy) they came out super soft and fluffy.

i don't have a problem with wash brushes in shampoo. shampoo or mac brush cleanser are for cleansing. i'm looking for some tips to soft brushes after cleansing.

and i found 2 youtube members : miszexotic07 & boylre use mixing of coconut oil & olive oil to soft brushes. so i wonder if any specktra has tried it? anyway, i got the conditioner.. thanks guys.

Like many others I use hairconditioner on my Brushen from time to time. It really makes them soft and I read from somewhere that if you condition your brushes before you use them the firts time it helps to minimize shedding.
