Frequently Asked Questions
What makes gray squirrel hair premium?
Gray squirrel fibres are hollow inside, which gives them exceptional elasticity and a near-weightless touch on the skin. The softness and fine diameter make them the preferred choice for highlighter, fine powder work, and any zone where product must be placed without disturbing existing makeup.
Is this brush ethically sourced?
Squirrel hair is sourced as a byproduct from regulated, sustainable sources. CTR uses processing methods aligned with international animal welfare standards.
Can the W0705 replace a dedicated highlighter brush?
Yes, for most highlighter placement work. For very precise, small-area highlight (inner corner only, for example), a smaller brush such as the W0667 cheekbone correction brush will give more control.
How delicate is the fibre, and how should I care for it?
Squirrel hair is soft but durable when treated well. Wash with mild brush soap, never use hot water or harsh solvents, and dry flat. With proper care, 7 to 10 years of professional daily use.
