The two types of brushes can be categorized in many ways depending on context, but generally brushes are divided into two main types based on purpose or construction. One common division is by use: cleaning brushes versus painting or art brushes. Cleaning brushes include household brushes like brooms, scrub brushes, toothbrushes, bottle brushes, and industrial brushes designed to sweep, scrub, or remove dirt. Painting and art brushes include paintbrushes for house painting, fine art brushes for watercolor, oil, or acrylic painting, and cosmetic brushes like makeup brushes. Another division is by bristle type: natural bristle brushes versus synthetic bristle brushes. Natural bristle brushes are made from animal hair like hog, horse, or sable, and are good for oil-based paints and smooth application. Synthetic brushes are made from nylon or polyester and are good for water-based paints and durability. In hair care, two types are detangling brushes versus styling brushes. In industrial terms, two types are rotary brushes versus hand brushes. In art, two types could be flat brushes versus round brushes. So the two types depend on classification, but the broadest is cleaning brushes for removing material versus application brushes for applying material like paint or makeup.
