To wash or not to wash ? VOL 1

Working at Sephora , I tend to always get asked the same questions.
#1 " Why do my brushes shed ?"
#2 " Why should I wash my brushes?"
#3 "Why should I buy brush cleanser?"
#4 "Cant I use hand soap or shampoo to clean my brushes ?"
#5 "Why are brushes so expensive?"
Where to begin , ha-ha !!
There's nothing more beautiful and soft then a new pair of makeup brushes !
So soft , so clean , so beautiful and easy to use !
And not to mention EXPENSIVE . Makeup Brushes are an investment ! When properly cared for should last you a pretty long time :] Especially since good quality brushes can range anywhere from $9-40+
*To Answer the first question : "Why do my brushes shed ?"*
There are a few reasons why you brushes can start to shed . 
Using them too vigorously whether while applying makeup or cleaning them can cause them to loose hair or shed. In-proper storage when wet can also cause the brushes to shed especially if you are storing them brush hair up. Reason being the water seeps down into the Farrell and eats away at the glue holding the hairs in place :[ . 
How to fix this you may ask ? Be gentle with your lovely gems ! and dry them facing downward so the moisture can drip onto a paper-towel !

Hope that was fun and informative and not a snooze fest !!

The month of July I am making into brush month :]
