Hello Naturalistas!! :) SO happy so many of you enjoyed this tutorial! I just added links to the products used in this video to my description box. Hope this helps XOXO
This is perfect!!! Thanks 😍. I'm new to the TWA crew and I have a sponge. Most days are hit and miss. One major thing I am doing wrong is my hair is usually wet. Definitely gonna give this a try before dinner tonight.
I know my sponge helped me with a more feminine look as opposed to looking like Michael Evans with a flat afro. Women generally wear curls and demension,texture in their hair. Not sure what is so offensive about that.
I have never seen this done. Y'all I am almost 67 year old. Seen this style several times and never knew how it was done. I think about having this done for my short fro.
My son and I both have sponge styles...but it works better for us when our hair is damp. We use a curl gel (can't remember the name right now...ran out a lil while ago) or aloe vera gel. When I've done it on my dry hair like this, I don't get much definition at all. To each his or her own. Yours came out really nice!
You are hyping me up gurl!!! I’m adding more and more things to my cart watching your videos! Ready to slay my short natural cut!!! Can’t wait for my hair appointment next week!!!! Yesssssss! You are beautiful
White Irish girl here, but am loving this video,what a beautiful girl with awesome hair. This sponge is “magical” 😲 Who on earth came up with this great product??
I just cut my locs Saturday bc I just want loose natural hair.. But I must get this curl sponge today, and other hair products u used as well ty for sharing . I love your hair❤
Love the fact that your not using tons of different products. I didn’t understand why people use so many different products especially for a short twa. I have to subscribe.
I HATE finger twisting my hair and never realized I could just a curl sponge instead. You just helped me #levelup my natural hair game lol Thank you! Definitely subscribed!
I just cut my hair and I did not know what to do with my hair, I was looking on UA-cam then I found your video it’s very helpful, thank you darling😍have a bless life
Thank you so much for posting! You are a beauty! Just purchased one of these for my son who wants to try this as hes growing out his hair. Also watched your video on the different kind of products to enhance natural curls.
Thank you for this video Nia!! I picked that exact sponge up a few months at my local beauty supply store and tried it on wet hair. All it did was frizz my short curls out. So it's been collecting dust. Now I see I may have been using it improperly. Off to experiment! 😁
Monica Rance It worked a lot better on dry hair. However, my hair is thinner in the front and it really exposed too much of my scalp. I also experienced breakage in that same area and my hair stood up more like spikes. I really didn't care for that look on me. The back looked nice, but overall this tool is just not for me. I'm glad I gave it a try on dry hair before getting rid it though.🙂
Sanya Tonisha thank you. My daughter is the opposite. Her hair is extremely thick. I'm trying to persuade her to use the sponge but wondered if it would work on her thick hair.
Exactly what I was looking for. Bristle brush(literally 👞 polishing brush) or sponge brush coiling. 💥 boom this video finally appears. Thank you for posting!
This is the style that i plan to do while i grow my hair long enough to have dreads eventually. Is maintain this style easy as well? Do you still moisturize and sponge every morning?
Nia Hope Yes I did and it came out defined. I sprayed my hair with warm water not drenched but wet enough then used my curl define cream then my home made flaxseed gel. What I also do is spray the curl sponge with water so it won't dry out my hair while twisting.
So you don’t use any gel? Recently did my big chop to a twa and other videos talk about gel to help create curls. But i guess you don’t need gel with the sponge?
Great job!!! I’ve been doing it all wrong! I’ve been soaking my head before curling - from now on I’ll make sure it’s dry. Thank you so much ❤️👌🏾😍 Fernelle Davis from NurtureInChrist
Sweetie, you have THE BEST presentation for hairstyling etc I have seen on UA-cam ! I'm serious. I watched 3 minutes and immediately subscribed. I have very short hair as well. I was going to use a texturizer, but hate the straight 'pointys' on the tips I have to snip off. I'm definitely going to try this ! Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge Nia.! :~))
+Odunola Bola-Adesope You can do any number of things once you big chop. You can do a wash n go, you can go to the barbershop, you can pick your hair out into a TWA (teeny weeny Afro). I've created an entires short natural hair playlist, the link is in my description box about different ways to style your short or big chop hair. If you watch those videos, you'll find plenty of styling options! I'll also be adding more to that playlist in the coming weeks! Hope this helps 💕
@@NiaHope Thank you darling. I am expecting my barber here this weekend for a big chop off....So I am here to be sure i know what i am about to do. Your videos will come super handy for me now
This also works when your hair is wet or has a lot of product in it. I do it every morning. Your hair does not have to be dry. I guess just do whatever works for you :)
wonderful job on teaching how to have beautiful nature curl I was looking for something for my son and you are my favorite. Thank you for creating this video!
Ok...finally cause of you...figured out to start my hair DRY. Wow. Needed this!!! No more saturation prior. I have my sponge...but couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I just watched a similar video on another channel and I thought it was very good, but the young lady used so much gel and creams and other "stuff" in her hair that it seemed as if there would be a great deal of buildup. I like that you use very little of any product and you achieve the same beautiful results.
Thank u ,I just started mine today it's getting there,I'm using sponge twist cream,my question is the two sides to the sponge,is the large size for people with long hair vs the Short side for people with short hair
Thanks for this tutorial. I did not know what to do with my hair ever since I cut it all off. Please what is the name of the product used before using the curl sponge
Can u do another video using the sponge. But use the other side. Not the flat side. How long does this style lasts? Can I use 8 4 a week? Or do I have 2 redo 8 everyday?
So I av been looking at ur videos. Ur tutorials are amazing. Am about to do a tapered cut inspired by you. But the brush that you have on the link isn't the same as the one in the video and the reviews are bad. Can you help relook and clarify. Thanks ❤️
I may have to pick this up. As I'm still in the TWA phase of life and although I use curl activators from time to time. I still feel like I don't get quite the definition I'm after to really call what my hair looks like a true "style". So this would be awesome. Be interesting to see if it can grab some of my more straighter hairs and put them in formation as well for me, lol.
Please what's the name of the hair cream you applied, it's looks great, and just as simple than other videos I have come across. I'll be glad you reply with the name of the cream.
That is absolutely amazing. I've never heard of such a thing and would never have known how such a thing would be used. Thank you for such a great video.
+Elise's Kitchen Being natural just means you don't have any chemicals in your hair. If stop putting relaxers in and allow your hair to grow as much as you'd like and then cut off the relaxed parts you would be considered completely natural.
It was 0:23 where I knew I didn’t even need to watch this video anymore and go a sponge cuz your hair looks so good and I need my hair to look like that too!
I have on question, basically they say its not good to regularly manipulate your hair strands(aka comb it everyday) however, when I don't comb it before school, it appears messy and unkept. So I was wondering if you could give me any advice on what I could do instead of combing it everyday, since it is not long enough yet to do protective styles such as twists etc. Also, I have short 4c hair, I'm a boy, and I'm from uganda. Thanks so much in advance:)
Wish I had seen this video before buying the other hair products. This worked and it was simple. Took me only a few minutes to get the curl I wanted.👶🏾

Nia did you get the Curl sponge from a beauty supply store? How much is it
Hey what hair type are you?
Pls what are the products? Can't see any link here
Very beautiful woman.👍😘
This sponge has boosted my confidence by 1000 percent. I’m growing out my hair, and now I feel like my hair is way more defined and feminine.
Feminine???What do you mean?
@@jazzy2093 Lol
I know my sponge helped me with a more feminine look as opposed to looking like Michael Evans with a flat afro. Women generally wear curls and demension,texture in their hair. Not sure what is so offensive about that.
@@jazzy2093 it was for lack of a better word. it made me feel like I looked more put together

Merry Christmas!
where did you get the sponge
I made my own curl sponge, works pretty good. I've never used it on dry hair before, will give it a try. Keep the great videos coming.
+Alicia B Thank you so much! Do you typical use it on damp hair? That didn't work for me at all lol

Sophia Murphy you can do it with dry hair

Thanks for the tutorial. I plan on keeping mine relatively short as well & will be new to this. Thanks
Great job! I'll be using the sponge brush for the first time, today! Can't wait to see how my hair turns out. 😊
So you don’t use any gel? Recently did my big chop to a twa and other videos talk about gel to help create curls. But i guess you don’t need gel with the sponge?

WOW, I DID IT IN LESS THAN 1 HOUR I THOUGHT IT WILL TAKE ME DAYS OR EVEN WEEKS BUT THAT FAST IT FORM QUICK. I LOVED IT
Sweetie, you have THE BEST presentation for hairstyling etc I have seen on UA-cam ! I'm serious. I watched 3 minutes and immediately subscribed. I have very short hair as well. I was going to use a texturizer, but hate the straight 'pointys' on the tips I have to snip off. I'm definitely going to try this ! Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge Nia.! :~))
I was about to try one also but changed my mind....tell me more about the texturizer...I’ve heard not so good things..also gels are a nuisance
I am about to do the big chop and was wondering what to do with the hair after...Thank you

Good to know. I have the same length of hair like she does. My thing is to do it as quickly as possibly on a busy work morning.
Thank you for this video!! How long would you say you had to work the brush through your hair from start to finish?
You taught me something I always wet my hair first!!! I’m going to try it with my hair being dry
Kelilah Washington yay!! So happy this could help 😊
I just big chopped today! Totally buying one of these sponges!
HI Nia, Wow your hair looks great! the curls really are defined! I think its awesome that more girls are rocking their natural curls!
Please let me know where to get the sponge and the hair creme. Love it and thank you!
How long does the style last? Will I need to re-do everyday?
although my hair is not this short, I will have to try this method to define my curls! Thanks 😍
+The Secret Life of Bre Definitely give it try!! No problem 💕💕
I’ve not tried this yet but will try soon. Question; when you have this style - do you have to redo DAILY?
Hi my hair is the same length . How long did it take you to sponge your hair ?
Thanks girl a lot of these other videos use like a thousand products to get the same look just achieved. I can't wait to try this. Great job!
Thank you so, so much!!
@@NiaHope please where is the links for the products you used? Thanks
Which headtie would you recommend to use after using the sponge to recieve the curls?
wonderful job on teaching how to have beautiful nature curl I was looking for something for my son and you are my favorite. Thank you for creating this video!
I have the sponge and it works wonders on my hair, its only been a month about to be 2 months since I went natural so right now my hair is a mini fro.
Ok...finally cause of you...figured out to start my hair DRY. Wow. Needed this!!! No more saturation prior. I have my sponge...but couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t working.
Please did you put relaxer to your hair already or you achieved this with a natural hair,because my hair is so strong and thick but i am on a low cut
Thank you. What do you do at night to maintain it? Or do you do this everyday? Thanks again
I can't wait to use my hair styling sponge for my natural short hair after I washed my hair thank you so much this video hair is so helpful for me.
Thanks Nia, i have found a way
but i have one question what if am using mouldin gel wax does it work?
Thanks for sharing 🙏, please which kind of gel and powder can I use for this?
Wow! I've always wondered about those sponges. Pretty amazing.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Very nice , please how long goes it last after styling with the curl sponge?
Yes 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I'm hoping to cut my hair to a TWA soon so I gotta get a curl sponge to really slay it! 💁🏽
What product you apply hunn also.the make up looks great
Radio paint Vivant
Can u do another video using the sponge. But use the other side. Not the flat side. How long does this style lasts? Can I use 8 4 a week? Or do I have 2 redo 8 everyday?

Aww this is so beautiful, but can this be done on relaxed hair??
Just stopping by Queen you dropped this back there 👑
Just wondering will this work on any hair type? I would like to try this before I get dreads

Thank you 🙏🏽 this video help because my hair was really that length and I didn’t know what to do with it 😘😘😘
This is such a cool product! Also, that necklace is the best
Can the sponge cause breakage after too much use?
Taylor Jones same thing I was wondering 🤔
Please what's the name of the hair cream you applied, it's looks great, and just as simple than other videos I have come across. I'll be glad you reply with the name of the cream.
Where did you say you get the hair sponge from and how long did it take you to form all your curls
This will be my lifesaver as my twist never last longer than a week and obviously done big chop and want something other than a boring mini Afro.
That is absolutely amazing. I've never heard of such a thing and would never have known how such a thing would be used. Thank you for such a great video.
I have heard other people using a soft brush to do the same. Have you tried it? Does it work?
How do you maintain the style for a week? Can u oil and massage your scalp while in this style?
This is simple and sweet. I don't have a curl sponge though. Any alternatives?
Heyyy, I really love your hair, and I want to go natural, what do I do to have natural hair? Because my hair is relaxed
+Elise's Kitchen Being natural just means you don't have any chemicals in your hair. If stop putting relaxers in and allow your hair to grow as much as you'd like and then cut off the relaxed parts you would be considered completely natural.

How long does it take for you to use the curl sponge across your entire head? Quick fix before a zoom or a little more tlc needed?
i have twice as much hair as her it takes around 10 minutes but it depends
@Nia Hope. What is the name of the Product you use to make the Curls.? Thank you.
U made that look so easy lol. I’ll try again tomorrow. I just cut my hair last month
Loved your video. Very simply explained.
I LUV ur hair...Do you repeat the same process next day? Thank you
Wish I had seen this video before buying the other hair products. This worked and it was simple. Took me only a few minutes to get the curl I wanted.👶🏾
Hi My hair is like twice as long as yours but still natural. Is it possible to use Tahjid Wahid Curl Cream and then the Curl sponge.
Seems like a sponge would soak up all the moisture in your hair. Did your hair seem dry after you used it?
