The brush used for artificial nail services is made of what type of hair?

• A. Natural
• B. Synthetic
• C. Boar
• D. Horsehair

Answer: (A)

Natural hair is used for brushes in artificial nail services because it offers the right balance of pick-up and control. Bristles from natural hair, especially kolinsky sable, are fine and resilient, so they hold onto the acrylic liquid and powder well and release it smoothly as you work. This lets you place and shape beads with precision and minimal drag. Synthetic bristles can work, but they often don’t grip powder as well and can feel stiffer, making finesse harder. Boar hair and horsehair tend to be too coarse for the delicate, detailed application required in nail services. That’s why natural hair brushes are the standard choice.
