What is a Hair Sponge?
A hair sponge 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. If you have longer hair, a larger option will produce larger curls and coils. When you are deciding which is best for you, make sure you check the hole size. This will help you determine which one will work best for your hair.
How does a hair sponge work?
Curl sponges curl your natural hair. To use this tool, you rub it onto your hair in a circular motion to create curls, coils, and even twists. The holes and the movement you create with your hands will curl and twist sections of your hair. Using a hair sponge takes less time than it would create this style by hand. The hair sponge also works best on damp hair. It is best to apply your favorite gel or cream, or water before styling.
