How to Create Sponge Curls
Start with clean hair.
To start your sponge curls routine, the first thing you want to do is start with clean hair. Wash hair with SheaMoisture Men African Black Soap & Tea Tree Oil 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner to cleanse and condition your curly texture in one shot.

Apply water to hair.
Make your hair more pliable by spraying it with water. Don’t spray too much because you don’t want your hair to be soaking wet. This is key to creating sponge curls, so don’t forget this step!

Apply a curling cream.
Apply a curl defining cream to help add softness and define your curls. Pump Bed Head by TIGI Foxy Curls Contour Cream into your hand and rub throughout your hair.

Brush with sponge brush.
Take your sponge brush and brush your hair in circular motions to get the sponge curls shape. Repeat this all over your head.
