Product Information

We’re all about “reclaiming my time,” and that also stands true for when it comes to doing our hair as well! When you’re ready to graduate to a larger sponge, this is when you consider how much hair you have. You can air-dry your hair or use a hair dryer (on low temp) for setting the style and to shorten the drying time.

Then part it into small sections using your favorite curl cream or twisting product. Then gently stretch a small section of your hair and wrap it around your finger until it has coiled into a small twist. Some hair sponges might have to be replaced frequently, as the quality in the marketplace varies significantly If you do it in alternating directions, you might find that instead of curls, your hair is getting more tangled. This style is for guys who like more defined looks. The hair is combed out a little to show its length and is styled with a curl sponge with large holes for prominent twists.If you have relatively short hair, you’ll likely be able to achieve the desired look in no more than five to ten minutes of rubbing the sponge onto your hair. 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. To get an afro, you have to be prepared to grow your curly hair out. What this really comes down to is a healthy lifestyle and proper hair care for men. For example, you will need a good diet of quality proteins, regular exercise to increase blood circulation, stress relief in the form of sleep, and maybe a multivitamin to make sure you are getting all the right vitamins and minerals for hair growth. While this can be annoying, you’ll definitely have to figure out whether curl sponges will work on your hair. And if you combine them with a fade or undercut on the sides you will look stunning. Below are 80 different variations of this funky style. # 1 Loose Uniform Twists

If your hair isn’t wet enough before using, it can snag and potentially cause breakage on your curls. Following the proper care routine before using a curl sponge, however, will ensure that this won’t happen. If you rub the sponge too hard or the material of the sponge is too rough, some breakage may be caused. We don’t recommend using “rough” sponges on your hair. Some hairstyles that would typically take hours are reduced to just minutes with help from the hair sponge.

Curl sponge

The fifth and final pro to using a curl sponge is that they can help your hair achieve a cohesive look. When you’re attempting to twist or curl your hair, it’s easy for us to make some smaller or larger than the others. The palm rolling method can also be used for longer hair. The method involves rolling your hair in between the two palms of your hands.

For men who like their curls soft, shiny and small, use a small-holed curl sponge to form tiny yet defined curls. Deep condition your hair beforehand to achieve the shine. As part of the short sides, long top men’s hair trend, we generally recommend tapered or faded sides to highlight the cool hairstyle on top. However, some guys may want an all around afro. If you’re in a pinch or don’t have a curly hair sponge, the towel method is an effective substitute. Face cloths may be easier to maneuver around your head than a bath towel, but both work just fine. You’ll want to prepare your hair in the same way as with a hair sponge and use the same circular motion, one section at a time, only with slightly more pressure. Work each section of the hair until you start to feel the curls form. They also come with different-sized holes, which are good if you want to work on just a small area of the hair or your entire head. Essentially, small holes are for tight coils while bigger holes are meant for bigger curls. If you’re totally new to curl sponges, the pros recommend starting with a mini-sized one to gain better control before mastering the technique.

Philip Kingsley Moisture Extreme Enriching Shampoo

Trimming your hair. Using a curling sponge can cause split ends. Split ends make the ends of your hair fragile and more prone to breakage. Split ends can result in endless breakage as the split travels up the hair shaft, so, snipping off split ends is a precaution against hair loss as well as improving the overall health of your hair.

For short and easy to maintain, here the hair has been curled tightly on top and set with product. The sides feature a light fade, adding further texture. 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’. Manually twisting your natural hair can take hours, but this sponge-like brush has small holes that make hair look finger-curled within minutes. Typically flat on one side and ridged on the other, it can come in different shapes and versions, such as oval or rectangle.

Depending on how you prep your hair, the texture of your hair, and the quality of your sponge, it’s highly unlikely that your hair is going to turn out in the same manner every time you do it. If you truly want to start out as a beginner, a mini size curl sponge might be the best option for you. A barbershop favorite is the small or mini afro – a low-maintenance style that allows you to grow your hair out on top without the headache of managing a big afro. Plus, a regular trim can keep your hair healthy by cutting off split ends to allow new growth. Most sponges work best when used on short hair, which makes them a great tool for both women and men. Keep your hair conditioned and moisturized with butters, creams, or essential oils. Afro hair can get dry, nappy and very frizzy, so a good coconut oil or shea butter can help you keep your hair frizz-free all the time.
