Goat hair in different season

Goat hair is the most popular natural hair used on powder brushes, eyeshadow brushes etc. Most users should know that goat hair has many grades, such as XGF goat hair, ZGF goat hair etc.

Generally speaking, XGF goat hair is the softest and best, so during customizing makeup brushes, many customers will require XGF goat hair for their brushes. However, sometimes, they may find that the softness of two makeup brushes both with XGF goat hair may not be the same, or sometimes, not softer than ZGF goat hair. So they doubt that they are cheated by the makeup brush manufacturer.

In fact, as a kind of natural hair, goat hair is just like human hairs. In winter, the goat hair is thicker and rougher; in spring, after hair lossing, the new born hair will be much softer. So sometimes ZGF goat hair may be softer than XGF goat hair. We distinguish different goat hair grades not only by softness but also hair tips and powder holding capacity.

Therefore, to customize makeup brushes with private label, it will be the best to send us physical samples to show us the exact hairs you want. Firstly, customers may not so familiar with the hairs, and may have some misjudgment on the hair types; Secondly, the previous makeup brush suppliers may cheat you on the hair material; thirdly even with the same hairs, the feeling will be different in different season.

How to avoid ferrule oxidation

As an essential part of makeup brushes, ferrules take an important role in makeup brushes, it connects both hairs and handles. Even for some brushes that “without” ferrules, they are just invisible, ferrules are still included in the brushes.

However, as a metal material, the ferrules are easily to be oxidized, especially in damp environment. Even the human sweat may lead to oxidation. But during the makeup brush assembly and inspection, we must touch the ferrules. Then, how to avoid the oxidation during the assembly and inspection:

1. Assembly- during ferrule production, we will firstly cover a protective film on the ferrule, and during assembly, workers will wear cotton gloves to avoid of sweat on ferrules.

2. Inspection- after the makeup brushes are finished, we must remove the film on the ferrule and do the inspection. All inspectors will wear cotton gloves during inspection in case of oxidation.

We can only avoid of oxidation from our side as the makeup manufacturer. After getting makeup brushes especially with copper ferrule, users should store the brushes in dry environment. And after each cleanning of brushes, users should not store them until completely air drying.
