Using a sponge brush on natural hair involves a circular motion to create defined curls or coils.
Steps for Using a Sponge Brush on Natural Hair:
-
Start with slightly damp or moisturized hair: This helps the hair clump together and form curls more easily. You can use a spray bottle with water or a leave-in conditioner.
-
Apply product (optional): You can apply a curl-enhancing cream, gel, or mousse to your hair for added definition and hold. This step is based on personal preference and hair type.
-
Move the sponge in a circular motion: Gently rub the sponge brush over your hair in small, circular motions. Work in sections to ensure even coverage.
-
Maintain Consistent Pressure: Apply a consistent amount of pressure, being gentle enough to avoid pulling or damaging the hair.
-
Observe Curl Formation: Continue the circular motions until the desired level of curls or coils is achieved. The amount of time it takes depends on your hair length, texture, and desired look.
-
Style and Set: Once you have achieved your desired look, you can apply a light hairspray or holding product to set the curls and reduce frizz.
Keep in mind that the technique might need some practice. Consider watching video tutorials to get a better understanding of the hand movements involved.
