    I just started my second loc journey about 3 weeks ago I’ve been growing my hair for 3 months now and I’m using a dread sponge and I wash my hair every other Sunday and condition it and about every Wednesday I would add some coconut oil to my hair and twist it and people always think that I got my hair twisted in the shop which I find to be pretty cool (my hair type is 4b)

    The product moisturizes and softens your dry hair and the sponge will absorb the wetness so your hair will set and style as it is drying and curling.

    Great video, curl sponges can be used dry and product is really just to lock in sheen moisture when wearing curls. Also it helps denser hair with more volume shape faster. My only critique is that you shouldn’t be using a towel to make curls. Towels strip our hair of moisture and a 3B/3C with sparser hair like you might be able to get away with it but anyone in the 4s will see frizzed out curls, dry hair, and eventual breakage.

    • @Electric.Lightning

      SteveySteve it doesn’t really even define your curls honestly it just bunches your hair up to give a more defined and sectioned look, which is why it’s perfect for dreads. calling them dread sponges is perfectly fine.
