After a neat clean, lay the brush to dry. Reshape it in order to avoid splaying. Never keep it upwards while cleaning. Put it perpendicularly with hair tips facing downwards. Do not place the brush upright to dry. It can collect the particles and let the water run inside. Small brushes such as eye shadow brush, lip brush, etc., will take less time to dry.

This way they can stay clean and bristles won’t be crushed. Keep them separate.
