Product Information

In this style, a low fade blends in seamlessly with a stubbly beard. Up top, the sponge curls were styled with a large-holed curl sponge but only a little, so the curls are distinct but not too separated. Static electricity is created when two unlikely objects are rubbed against each other. A curling sponge is a foreign object for hair, and when rubbed together in a continuum, the process causes electrons to be transferred between the sponge and hair. The swapping of electrons between the sponge and hair causes a positive charge to build up on your hair. The positive charge of electrons on your hair causes the hair cuticles to become positively charged and raised. Raised cuticles make the hair shaft prone to breakage, causes hair frizz and makes hair feel ‘rough’. It’s best when done on moisturized, slightly damp hair that has been fully detangled so the sponge can move easily through your hair. Ideally, hair is freshly washed and conditioned, but you can spritz with a combination of water and leave-in conditioner from a spray bottle if you need a touch-up.

The idea of using what looks like a cleaning sponge on your hair may seem odd, but it can actually be very effective. A hair sponge brush is a hand-held tool that contains holes or ridges and is used for curling natural hair. For those with short hair, options with smaller holes are best, as they will give you very tight, small coils and/or curls. A larger option will produce larger curls and coils if you have long hair. What has made the curl sponge very popular is that it takes an incredibly short amount of time to curl hair. It’s a favourite heatless curling tool for both men and women with tapered cuts, TWA (teeny weeny afro) and short afros. The curl sponge does not damage hair, but when used incorrectly, it can cause hair breakage. The success and the failure of it entirely depends on how well you use it.

WHAT CURL TYPES CAN THEY BE USED ON?

Curling sponges are usually made up with polyester fibers and contain polyurethane (an abrasive material). By using a tool which contains the aforementioned materials, in a circular motion, rubbing the hair, especially when wet or damp (at the hair’s most sensitive) can have a damaging effect on the hair shaft, causing weathering. Weathering typically happens if you have been using curling sponges for a prolonged period of time. Weathering occurs when trauma or frequent injury is inflicted on the hair shaft through hair styling techniques which involve rubbing the hair strands together against rough objects, such as curling sponge. The damage caused can result in hair loss, breakage or thinning.

Most sponges work best when used on short hair, which makes them a great tool for both women and men.The curl sponge, aka the hair twist sponge, is a hair tool that has holes and grooves which are used to enhance the curls, coils, and twists throughout your mane. They’re typically available in a wide range of shapes, including oval, round, or rectangle and have holes of different sizes. It is also common to find twist sponges that are double-sided with grooves on one side and holes on the other. HOW DO SPONGE CURLS WORK? Using hair rollers for curls has been a styling method for centuries. While the first heated hair curlers were invented in 1930, there are so many different types of hair rollers these days, you’re sure to find one that fits your time restraints, hair texture, and desired final curl look. The holes or ridges on the curling sponge gather sections of hair into coils, curls and twists when the sponge is rubbed on your hair in circular motions. Sponges with small holes or ridges work best on short hair, helping to create more defined curls. Sponges with large holes or ridges produce larger loose curls for long hair.

While the curl sponge is reserved for naturally curly textures, not all curl types can benefit from its use. Type 3 and Type 4 hair types have more texture to work with, which makes it an undeniable match for this beauty tool. HOW LONG SHOULD YOUR HAIR BE? The hair sponge, which is also marketed as a magic twist sponge, hair sponge brush, curl sponge, and afro curl sponge, is a device that’s used to achieve many different hairstyles, mainly on natural short hair. Since the curl sponge features many holes, the goal is to curl your natural hair within each hole to achieve a defined texture. By now, you likely know that the best way to achieve a curly mane is to start on damp hair. Once your hair is damp, you’ll need to rub the side of the sponge that's textured and has holes over the top of your mane, moving it in circular motions. As a result, this beauty tool helps you score defined curls in less time, which goes a long way in cutting down your styling routine. Now that’s what we call smart hairstyling! HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU USE A HAIR SPONGE?Generally speaking, sponges that have small holes will work best on really short hair. These sponges produce uniform, tight, small coils and/or loose curls, depending on your individual natural hair texture. The holes in the sponge, coupled with your hand movement, create small twists within the hair. Using the hair sponge to create these twists is much faster than if you were doing it by hand. If you have longer hair, you may not get good curl definition with the curl sponge. There are, however, curl sponges with bigger holes, like the RioRand magic sponge and LEADUWAY Big Holes Magic Twist Hair Sponges that may give a better definition.

Instead of using your fingers, the tip end of a rat tail comb can be used instead. Repeat the process until all of your hair is twisted. A curl sponge is popular for cutting down hairstyling time significantly. It’s also readily available and pretty affordable making it accessible to most people.The sponge curl works best on damp hair. When your hair is damp it makes it easier for the hair to get into the holes as well as makes it easier for the sponge to glide on the hair and create hair sponge curls. Keep your pressure gentle. Pressing down too hard on the hair can only cause damage to the coils, so keep the sponge on the top of the hair. This process shouldn’t take you long, at the very most 20 minutes. The better you get at it, the lesser the time it will take you to achieve your look. If your hair is clean, there is really no need to wash it. Skip that, and instead, you can spray your hair to make it damp and not have it dripping wet. The only primary difference with it is you rub a towel over your hair using circular motions rather than using a sponge.
