Dusting Brushes for Flocked and Haired Models ( with one Stiff-Bristled End)

Dusting our models, both at home and at shows is a tricky business.  Most dusters are too big and risk knocking over the model, or are potentially scratchy.  We've hunted around and found these brushes which work great.  We're using the same ones at Triple Mountain to dust models for photos.  They are ideal for Breyer riders, Grand Champions, My Little Ponies, etc.

This stiff-bristle brush (like a mascara brush) is great for brushing haired models, straightening rider hair, etc..  Used gently, it can lift dust bunnies from flocked models.  Its rows of stiff bristles are strong enough to separate and untangle hairs, but short enough to not get tangled in them itself.  It is double-headed, with the opposite end sporting a short, soft-haired brush that will also help dust the crevices of flockies gently.

We swear by this brush style when photographing haired models and riders!  It detangles and smooths hair, and can even be used to help re-curl hair.

Cleaning:  Used for dusting, you can usually just run a finger across the dry head to remove dust and be ready for the next use.  If necessary, soft brush end can be rinsed in cool water, shaped and allowed to dry.  Handles can be washed in soap and water.  Do not wet the area where the hairs attach to the brush, as this could soften the glue and result in the hairs falling out.  We've never had to wash these - Fluffing the brush is usually all that's needed.
