From the Loew-Cornell Brush Selection Guide:

" Choosing the right brush is ultimately a matter of personal
preference. However, each type of brush hair possesses its
own unique characteristics that make it favorable for certain
mediums, surfaces, and styles. Brushes can be divided
into five major hair types: Synthetic Hair, Mixed Hair,
Natural Hair, Natural Bristle, and Synthetic Bristle."
