Should I dry my brushes with a blow dryer?

It takes DAYS for my brushes to fully dry after washing them. Any suggestions on a work around?

If I may ask, how do you lay them out to dry?

I just got hip to the tilted towel method and I think it helps. You can put a skinny paper towel tube inside a towel, at the end where you rest your handles, so the bristles are facing slightly at a downward angle. It helps any water trapped in the handle come out and dry.
But DAYS? Are you making your own solution? With oil in it? Too much oil maybe?

Or you could just roll a wash clothes up and just put hair ties around each end so it stays rolled

I have used my blow dryer on cool to help with the drying process.

I've had a full set for 10+ years and I've never put a blow dryer to them and they still look/perform brand new. I hang mine upside down on a clothesline in my laundryroom. Using baby liquid soap it takes about half a day to dry. If you're using regular hair shampoo to clean your brushes then yes it will take forever and a day. You also need to make sure you are gentle squeezing out the water before setting out to dry.

No it would mess up the bristles. Ruin the shape and everything

I've been loving the beauty blender solid for cleaning my brushes. I always use brush guards and dry my brushes upside down in a cup and they dry super quickly while maintaining the shape. Def try them out if you can

I have been using the Sigma Dry n Shape to well dry and shape, lol, my brushes for years, works like a charm and some of my smaller/eye brushes even dry in about an hr or less if the room is warm :) Its a little pricy but in my opinion worth every cent :) I still use a rolled up towel to prop up the handles with bristles down while using the Dry n Shape.
