The term "camel hair" is a bit misleading. While some brushes do use camel hair for specific purposes, the majority of "camel hair" brushes are actually made from goat hair.
This is because:
* Goat hair is much more readily available and affordable than camel hair.
* Goat hair is also naturally softer and more flexible than camel hair, making it ideal for use in brushes.
However, there are some brushes that use genuine camel hair, especially in specialty art brushes for fine detail work. These brushes tend to be more expensive.
So, the next time you hear "camel hair brush," remember it's most likely made from goat hair! 😊
