I was first introduced to The Curl Sponge about three years ago when I wanted to give my hair a more natural look. Waves were nice, but curly hair own guys, especially African-American men was in and becoming more and more popular. Naturally, I wanted to be apart of the trend. My barber then used the sponge on me and I instantly viewed it as hair magic. The compliments I received then, and now, for my curly hair have never stopped. The product is nothing short of wonderful and if a quick, curly style is what you desire then you must have this among your hair care accessories.

It is not often we get to talk with the creator of such a magnificent device. Besides being innovative and an inventor, Youssef The Barber, is an Atlanta based barber with a successful shop, “Diamond Cuts” in Riverdale, Georgia. He has been cutting hair since he was thirteen, and a professional barber for the last eight years. How found inspiration to create the sponge from a method used in Africa, he goes on to reveal; “I went through many test models made by hand until I got an easy grip [and] effective method, and had a manufacturer duplicate it.” As complex as the hair tool was, he found it just as easy to name it. “Naming it was simple because it was the first to be a sponge that curls hair, ‘curl sponge’.” However, other companies have tried to make their own hair sponges, but none are as effective his design thanks to its aforementioned “easy grip,” with gives the user more manual control and dexterity. ”
