What Is a Curl Sponge?
The curl sponge is a unisex sponge-like brush with textured holes that give the hair a finger-curled look in minutes. Finger coiling my hair can take up to a couple hours depending on my hair’s length at the time, so that fact that this works in minutes is impressive.
There are several versions of the hair sponge. They come in oval, rectangular, or round shapes with different-sized holes to get the curl size you prefer, plus different sized sponges depending on how large of an area you’d like to work on at once.
The Benefits of Using a Curl Sponge
Curl sponges have a variety of benefits, especially for those with short hair, a TWA, or have just had the big chop. It makes styling your hair incredibly easy and allows you to get heat-free curls, so your hair stays damage free.
Sponges are also really useful for people with fine hair as they help increase your hair’s volume and give the appearance of thicker, fuller hair.
Do Sponges Work on All Hair Types?
The hair sponge works best on short, naturally curly and coily hair textures that are at least one inch long. Any shorter and the sponge holes might be too deep for your hair to reach.
How does it work? Well, the sponge is perforated with lots of small holes. Gently rub the sponge (without pressing) in a circular motion on an area of your hair. Each hole will “twist” your hair into a perfect coil. When using the sponge, you’ll want to use it on moisturized, detangled, slightly damp hair for easier motion. Though, some vloggers say they have had success using it on dry hair, as well. To each their own!
Some sponges also feature a textured side (without holes) for more customizable looks.
