Fixing Mangled Makeup Brush?

[CassBH]

Hey everyone! Hoping someone could help me out. I have a thin, somewhat pointed natural hair eyeliner brush that I love. Anyway, I packed it in a makeup bag and it got bent, so now the point is bent to one side. Any idea how to "set" it back to being straight?

I love this brush and would love to save it! Thanks

Hmm... try washing it then putting a heavy book on top of it while its wet and leave it there to dry. It should dry flat

Try washing it with a really gentle shampoo(like baby shampoo or even a natural non-soap cleanser) and then using a light conditioner. After rinsing it, straighten out the hairs with your fingers and let it dry standing up. I do this with my natural hair brushes about once a week...even ones I thought I smashed are ok.
