Product Information

Flexi rods come in assorted sizes so styles can be easily customized depending on the look that you want," Riley explains. So, you can totally use a curly hair sponge on your wash day, or you can wet hair anytime and use one to refresh your strands. Due to its dual side hair styling capability and practical application, this product is recommended by many hair stylist professionals. The flat side is used to achieve very defined curls, while the side with the grooves is used to achieve a rather rugged look. Rollers come in tons of different varieties — you can opt for hot rollers that work kind of like a curling iron, foam rollers that you can sleep on, velcro rollers that you can use while you blow dry, and even steam rollers that gently curl the hair.

As environmental friendly material is used for making these sponge brushes, your scalp will be damaged. This can mean freshly washed hair, or you can start with a spray bottle with water and conditioner in the morning to wake your curls up. Like me, many Black people are reclaiming our roots (literally and figuratively) by embracing our hair textures.Oval shape is most preferred as fits easily in the hand, making it comfortable and convenient to use it. To avoid damaging your hair with a hair sponge, don’t use it every day, and make sure you’re using it correctly. When using the sponge, you’ll want to use it on moisturized, detangled, slightly damp hair for easier motion. This is important because you will have to make a circular motion with the sponge in the same pattern that your hair follows. As you can see from the video, the hair sponge is designed to be used on naturally curly, coily, and kinky hair textures.

This product from AIRTREE is a combination of 4 different sponge brushes which you style you hair in several different styles. To figure out which type of hair sponge works best on your hair, it’s essential to consider the results that you’re trying to achieve. 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. Washing, drying, and styling my hair takes triple the time it took to do my hair when it was relaxed, which isn't always ideal when you're rushing to get out the door.You can find out more about our use, change your default settings, and withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by visiting Cookies Settings, which can also be found in the footer of the site. For those with short hair, options with smaller holes are best, as they will give you very tight, small coils and/or curls. Babes with kinky hair textures especially will fall for the easy-coiling powers of the curly hair sponge. Actually, each side provides a slightly different style that gives your curls a different overall effect.

How to use flexi rollers: Flexi rods "can be used wet or dry, and the flexible body of the rollers provides for stability without the use of clips and pins," says Riley. 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. If you have longer hair, we encourage you to experiment with the sponge to determine if it creates your desired hairstyle. I was wary of how my texture might change, what products I'd need to invest in, and how much longer it would take to maintain my hair. Finally, place the sponge gently against your hair and move in small, circular motions all over your head until you achieve your desired look.

Once you get used to using your curl sponge, upgrade to the larger size to reduce styling time (a bigger sponge=more holes=more hair twisted at once). This can depend on the type of sponge that you purchase and how much time you spend rubbing the sponge on your hair. Since the curl sponge features many holes, the goal is to curl your natural hair within each hole to achieve a defined texture.

Some sponges have pyramid-shaped grooves rather than holes to add volume and texture to your natural hair. A leave-in conditioner won’t weigh your hair down like gel or other products might, so if you’re not a fan of using products, a leave-in conditioner is an option. 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 most common technique for using hair sponges is by applying them to dry hair before adding water, as this will allow the brush to soak up more product than it can if applied when the hair is still damp.A better invest would help prevent your hair from the damage and well as the sponge will last for a longer time. A lot of the time we tend to think that if we apply more pressure to something that our hair will cooperate faster or more easily.
