To use a foam sponge, typically for creating textured hairstyles, move the sponge in a circular motion over the hair, avoiding excessive pressure.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Purpose: Foam sponges are primarily used to create textured hairstyles, such as curls, twists, or coils, particularly on short hair.
-
Technique:
- Move the sponge in small, circular motions over the hair.
- Avoid pressing too hard; light pressure is sufficient. Pressing too hard is a common mistake and doesn't improve the result.
- Continue until the desired level of texture is achieved.
-
Different Sides: Some foam sponges have different sized holes on each side. The side with smaller holes creates tighter curls, while the side with larger holes creates looser curls or coils. Using the closed side with no holes will result in smaller curls.
By using the sponge correctly, you can easily achieve textured hairstyles at home.
