Hair Curling Sponge Balls

[MissS]

So, in my search for the perfect hair curling method, I came across these strange looking sponge hair curling balls, which are apparently very popular in Japan and Taiwan. They remind me of yo-yo's.

Have any of you ladies tried these? They sell them on ebay, so I thought I might give them a whirl, as they look like they'd be easy to sleep in, as it's all sponge.

Gosh so many ways to curl hair , who would have thought ?????

Interesting, but it looks like something like that wouldn't be good for a damp set, as it seems it would hold in all the moisture.

I have, many many moons ago. They've been around for quite a long time here.
They aren't good for damp sets, only for keeping your curls and sleeping comfortably.
Unless you curl it carefully, though, your hair can get tangled up if it's long.

Yes, I think you're right Kitty. I think I'd have to completely dry my hair, then just give it a light spritz with setting lotion - and perhaps set it a little earlier in the evening than I normally do.

Thanks for the reply LaMedicine. I've just chopped a good couple of inches off my hair, so hopefully I won't get all knotted up.

I'll order some and report back, gals!

I've tried these, I got them from an Asian shop. My hair did get tangled, but then I have quite frizzy and unruly hair so they might be better suited for Asian hair types.
You do look like a complete goofball while wearing them, though lol
