i don;'t think so. you have to look after the brush to prevent it, but once it happens, afaik, you're buggered

On the other hand, you can use it for certain things too. It can help you get the tip of the brush into little areas and/or around corners, etc. Also, you can use the outer edge of the curl to hit the edges of armour, weapons, etc for highlights and such (the tip curling away sometimes helps). So don't throw it out! ")

Synthetic brush, curled just at the tip? Or sable/Kolinsky brush that's bent over from sitting in water too long?

With some gentle care and good soaps with some lanolin you can straighten it out a bit. I've repaired a few like that, but I can never get them back into good tips. I'd say repair what you can and keep the brush around for basecoating and drybrushing.

That's not bad, I've had the tip curl over with the first use! Literally within minutes, happened in front of my eyes.Wombat85 said:
This is inevitable with synthetics. You didn't do anything wrong and you can't really repair it; there are multiple 'fixes' but none of them will get the brush back to like they were. You either live with the curl, which actually has some uses as QuietiManes mentioned (more on this in past threads) or you move to natural-hair brushes.

I've gotten to where I wouldn't know how to use a brush with no curl. It's not the end of the brush.
