How do you remove bristle hairs that stick on the wall when painting?

Hello,
How do you remove bristle hairs that fall off from the paint brush and get stuck on walls et al when painting?

First suggestion is to buy decent brushes - they don't drop hairs (well only very rarely).
When it does happen to me, I pick up the hair on the brush as it happens, and dunk it on paper to transfer it there. If this happens more than twice in an hour's painting, I consider myself unlucky.
If it's dried on, you are doing to have to sand it a bit to remove and touch up.

Buildersmate is right; buy good quality brushes. But they will also shed a few bristles when first used unless you do the following:

1. Wash new brush in warm water and dry off.

2. Always ' flirt' the bristles before use to expel loose bristles.
