Hair Sponge Write For Us

The natural hair movement has instilled confidence in people with afro hair. We have become liberated, displaying our coils and curls. Consequently, new hair styling techniques have emerged to meet the growing demand for innovative ways to define our curls. One such technique is the curling sponge. Simple, quick and easy to use, the curling sponge can define our curls in minutes, adding that extra panache to hairstyles.

However, behind the science of the innovative creation of the curling sponge lay some uncomfortable facts which can result in hair breakage, hair thinning, hair loss, hair matting and dryness.

The Science Of The Curling Sponge

How Does a Curling Sponge Work?

The holes or ridges on the curling sponge gather sections of hair into coils, curls and twists when the sponge remains 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 bumps produce larger loose curls for long hair.

How Do I Use a Curling Sponge?

The technique employed to get the best curls from a curling sponge is to:

(1) Wet your hair. Using a curling sponge on dry hair could lead to hair snapping and breakage. Curling sponges work best when used on damp hair.

(2) Apply a generous amount of lotion/curling moisturiser. Adding moisturiser to damp hair will help to counteract the drying effect curling sponges have on your hair and add a protective layer to the hair shaft whilst enhancing the definition and shine of the curl/coil/twist produced.

(3) Rub the sponge on your hair tips in a circular motion to create the coil/curl/twist.
