The Brush Guard is a tool you slide over the hairs on your bush. It is said to help the hairs retain their shape, wet or dry. Also, you can use this when you place your brushes upside down after you wash them so the water does not get into the farrow, the metal part connecting the hairs and handle. I have used these for a month now and want to share my opinion on them. I highly recommend the variety pack because you get all different sizes so you can find which size best fits your brushes. I definitely am going to repurchase when I get more brushes. Go to thebrushguard.com to see the different packages available. You can buy the brush guard on thebrushguard.com ($5.50 shipping included, there is an additional $2.00 charge for Canadian orders and an additional $3.00 charge for international orders up to five packages) or Coastal Scents at coastalscents.com ($4.95 without shipping, but coastal scents shipping is high). I use these all the time when I wash my brushes and i honestly like them.
