This can occur with new brushes. Ensure you have rinsed them thoroughly before first use. Gentle cleaning and proper storage should minimize shedding over time. Avoid excessive force when painting.

Ensure the brush is adequately loaded with paint. If using water-based paints, check that the bristles are not overly saturated with water. For oil paints, ensure the correct thinner or medium is being used.

Reshape the bristles immediately after cleaning while they are wet. Avoid aggressive scrubbing. Ensure brushes are dried in the correct orientation (bristles up or flat) and not bristles down.

The stiffness will vary slightly between brushes in the pack due to their size and bristle density. Ensure you are using the appropriate brush size for your intended application. Very stiff bristles might indicate dried paint; clean thoroughly. Very soft might mean excessive water saturation.
