I took a class in custom painting but never stayed with it. We used baby oil after cleaning, turpentine, mineral sprits {I think lacquer thinner might have been too strong} to keep the hair moist, and like techinspector1 said, we would run the oil through the hairs with the finger and thumb getting most of the oil out, and put paper towels around them for storing.

actually i used thinner, and then treated the brush with linseed oil..and that has worked since. hope it helped you in your wonderment.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
