Like new: Dry n’ Shape

I have tons of brushes that I have lost hope for because they are wicked and wild. The hairs are all over the place and thanks to Jude, they are smushed to hell. In the mail came the answer to my brushes’ prayers…Sigma’s Dry n’ Shape.

I love the packaging everything comes in from Sigma.What it looks like inside…
Two buttons to keep your brushes secure…
These loops are the secret to the shaping and drying process.
The pockets below help keep your brushes in line and doubles as a brush roll!
Did you fall asleep? Whats wrong with ya?! Snap outta it because this is where I’m going to show you how I clean my brushes and get them back in to shape in no time!

I start with an anti bacterial hand soap that promotes moisture for your hands (which will condition your brushes). I like these types of soaps because they will kill bacteria that can cause breakouts, but they will still be soft and smell great at the same time.
Always hold your brushes at a downward angle to keep the water from running into the handle that can potentially loosen the glue and cause the brush to fall apart. No bueno.
In a swirly motion I clean my brushes with a drop of soap in the palm of my hands under the warm running water till the water is clear. Pat dry with a small hand towel.Taking the brush starting with the end of the handle, slip thru the top of the loop till the bristles are snug and covered by the black elastic band. If you go to far, just continue to bring the brush down from the top. You do not want to try to push it back, from bottom up because this will mess up the hairs.
Should look as it does in the picture below.

Slip the brush handle into the bottom pocket and continue the same steps to the other brushes.

This system accommodates brushes of all sizes big to small…

Some of the brushes are out of order but you can clearly see that the Dry n’ Shape does work. These are not all Sigma brushes either….so they will work for all brands.

I can honestly say that this will motivated me to care for my new and older brushes, extending their shelf life. You can follow the washing steps and place your brushes over night laying on a flat surface, this will prevent the water from going to the handle.

What do you wash your brushes with? I used MACs Brush cleaner but it was really $$. I tried e.l.f.’s brush cleaner and it didnt do anything for them. I have been using hand soap and its been working just fine.
