o much attention is paid to cruelty-free
beauty products these days. It's easy to
forget attitudes toward the tools we use
to apply them are beginning to change
too, with both consumers and companies
eschewing animal hair brushes for synthetic,
vegan-friendly alternatives.
Many brands, including British perfumers
Penhaligon's, have removed animal hair shaving
brushes from their grooming ranges entirely,
and a raft of companies have also released
synthetic alternatives. Make-up giant MAC
announced it was replacing animal hair brushes
with 100 per cent man-made fibres, and the
number of alternatives now available mean
there is no excuse to be brushing your hair
with the hair of another animal. Kent Brushes'
Woodyhog brush uses wooden quills instead of
bristles and is great for detangling hair without
damaging it, while Bulldog's beard comb
dispenses with the need for a brush altogether.
Advocates of 'natural' brushes argue they're
better than synthetic alternatives (sable
brushes are softer and pick up and distribute
powder more efficiently, traditional sliver-tip
badger hair shaving brushes hold more water
and deliver a better lather, and boar bristle
hair brushes are gentler), but technology and
production techniques have improved to the
point where many man-made products are now
on a par with historical favourites.
In fact, so good are the alternatives, many
make-up artists and barbers I know actually
prefer synthetic brushes, as they're less likely to
shed, harbour bacteria, trigger allergic reactions
and clean up easier. And, because synthetic
make-up brushes are not as absorbent as animal
hair, they're perfect for applying cream and
powder products.
As with many things, the more you pay, the
better and more refined the synthetic brush.
But regardless of how much you shell out,
one thing is for sure: now, in 2019, it's never
been easier to look your best without harming
a single hair on an animal's head.
