Today I discovered that the hairs of the paint brush are mainly made from animal hairs. The long hairs of the cow’s tail are made into paint brushes for people to use, just like the brushes the students of the Tambo State School are using to paint their Achibull cow. Cow hairs are not the most commonly used to make paint brushes. One of the main animal hairs used are, the long-haired hog bristle (often referred to simply as bristle). Some of the other natural animal hairs used are squirrel, camel, goat, ox, badger, and horse tail hairs.
