On brush longevity

We received the following inquiry from a customer:

"I believed the brush would last a lifetime, but maybe because I used it roughly or did not care for it properly, the brush has lost some hair and the shape has changed. Now it is difficult to use.

The customer above bought our brushes seven years ago directly at Chikuhodo We remember here well because she made several purchases.
We have sent the following reply:

"All brushes have a limited longevity. Although frequency of use and care method can extend brush longevity for several months, seven years is quite a long time for one brush to last. This means you must have taken great care of our brushes. Each use invariably affects brush longevity which changes depending on method of care. Simply washing and passing a rough comb through your current brush might help. In case there is no improvement, we recommend that you replace your brush."

Chikuhodo and all its employees are deeply grateful to esteemed customers who are using our brushes with such care.
