About Fude Hair. Oriental brushes utilize many types of animal hair and a single brush can contain several different kinds of hair. Mixed-hair brushes often have a core made of stiff hairs (e.g., horse-hair, deer) which define the brush length and give the brush resiliency. The core is wrapped with softer hairs (e.g., sheep, goat) which hold large amounts of water or paint and define the brush's expressiveness.
Before using the brush needs to be soaked under running water. It will revitalize the hairs and make them more flexible,
To clean, gently wash brushes after use by swishing them around in a jar of cool water or under a cool faucet. Do not use warm water or soap, as they dry out the natural oils in the brush hairs and may dissolve the glue that holds the hairs inside the handle. Shake any excess water from the brush. "Dress" the brush by wiping it against a paper towel or between your fingers to bring it to its original shape. It can be hung tuft down or simply placed on a clean cloth to dry out.
