Old School Rollers…New School Curls
I grew up using sponge rollers but I always rolled my hair from the ends up which created really tight old school looking curls. I had an idea to wrap my hair around the sponge rollers like you would a wand curler or rod set curlers. I had this idea because I like to do rod sets overnight and sleeping on rod curlers is no easy sleep which is what made me think to use the sponge rollers because I can sleep with them in much, much better.
Lottabody Love Me 5n1 Miracle styling crème Lottabody Wrap Me Foaming Mousse Amla Legend Rejuvenating Oil I applied each product to each section before rolling. Keep in mind it doesn’t matter what order you put the products in.
I used over 20 of these type of sponge rollers
Here is my hair all rolled up:
I let the rollers sit in my hair overnight and took them out in the morning. I did not start on wet hair, I let my hair air dry and then blew it out before rolling
Here is how it looked when I took the rollers out:

Here are the curls pulled apart:
These curls lasted me almost a full week. I actually still had tight curls when I went to wash my hair. At night I preserved my curls with a satin oil infused bonnet and fluffed out the curls in the morning.
Prior to me doing this sponge roller set I had did it before but I only used 10 rollers and this is how that one came out:
With less rollers you get more of a wave effect instead of a really tight curl
After a few days of rocking the rod set I decided to add a little color tattoo in painted purple to the tips to achieve a two tone effect. Here are the results of that:
Because of the overwhelming response to these sponge roller curls I will be filming a video on how I use these really soon so stay tuned!!!!
