    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!

      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.

      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.🙂

    Thanks for this. I was using the sponge with my hair wet and it never worked. I followed your video instructions, and it worked 😀. So excited!
