What goes into making a miniature detail brush? Beyond the finished product, there are many steps involved in preparing the brush hair, shaping the brush head, and assembling the brush.
At Fontainebleau Brush Factory, the process involves 16 steps. Here’s a closer look at how our miniature detail brushes take shape.
1. Preparing the Brush Hair
