No, Please don't. Do not use a hair dryer or any heat source to dry leather. You will be sorely disappointed in what is left of your gloves. Wet leather is best dried slowly. Blot out excess water with a towel or chamois. Stretch to shape and let air dry. Drying in a breeze is good, direct sunshine is not. The waterproofing is a good idea. I like NixWax.
