Naturally, foam rubber curlers are not without their drawbacks. You should also be aware of the cons.
- Weak fixation. Some curlers may remain on the pillow at night.
- Restrictions on use. Curlers with a foam base are not suitable for ultra-short hair.
- Fragility. Such products have a rather fragile structure, so their service life is short.
Also, when curling your hair with a foam curler, do not expect the result to be instant. As a rule, this procedure is performed before bedtime.Then, in the morning, the curlers are removed and the curls are combed with a massage brush. The thing is that the foam base has the ability to absorb moisture, thereby increasing the drying time of the hair.
In most cases, the products are elastic cylinders or balls equipped with thin elastic bands for attaching hair. Stylists divide soft curling products into horizontal and vertical ones. Some are suitable for creating curls in the form of spirals, others for ring-shaped curls.

Who are they suitable for?
Soft curlers are used on any hair length, regardless of the time of day. Curling products with a foam base are a great alternative to harmful "hot" curling tongs and irons.
Curlers with foam base are suitable for express curling. To do this, you just need to apply a styling agent with strong hold.
For owners of medium hair, it is better to use soft cylindrical curlers. For women with long thick hair, round products are relevant. And for ladies with short hair, large soft curlers are unlikely to work.

How to use it correctly?
Creating beautiful, playful curls is a snap. The main thing is to follow the instructions provided step by step.
- Wash my hair with conditioner shampoo.
- Dry your hair slightly naturally or use a hair dryer. The strands should be slightly damp.
- First of all, we wind the bangs. We put a little mousse or spray on it, fix it (in the section of the cylinder) and wrap it around the curlers up to the hairline. It is better to twist it tighter, since the foam rubber is quite soft, so the curl will quickly dissolve. We fix the strand with an elastic band. At the same time, we make sure that there are no creases;
- Divide the rest of the hair into "sections" (select the back of the head and the side ones). We screw each of them onto curlers and fasten with clamps.
- Moving on to the top. Divide a wide strand along the parting line and apply a small amount of mousse. We wind up. Large curlers are relevant for the upper part of the head, and it is advisable to wind the back of the head and sides on small ones.
- We wind the side strands onto vertical curlers (inward). Thus, we will still have the probability that all the strands will not "fall out". However, it is not worth twisting too tight. Otherwise, the curls near the face will have creases and dents.
- After removing the curling products, give them a little "rest" (5-7 minutes). Then we lightly comb the curls with a fine comb and fix the beautiful hairstyle with varnish.

If we are talking about a night perm, then it is better to cover your head with a cotton kerchief. Thus, there is a high probability that all curlers will remain in place until the morning.
For owners of relatively short hair (bob, bob, pixie with bangs), it is best to use hot tongs or wind elongated strands on small soft cylindrical curlers (locks).
The technique of twisting short strands using products with a foam base is as follows:
- apply a styling agent to clean, moisturized hair and comb it thoroughly;
- we divide long strands into several parts (back, top and side);
- we start each of them into an incision between the halves of the locks, squeezing both parts, and twist it up to the hairline;
- we fix it with elastic bands, without pulling the strands;
- we leave the curlers overnight, in the morning we carefully remove the curling products, use our fingers to give the curls the desired shape and cover the hair with a strong fixation varnish.

Also, owners of short haircuts (bob and bob) will be able to make a partial curl with the help of curlers with a foam base. So, we need:
- packaging of soft products of a cylindrical shape;
- a thin plastic comb and a brush with natural bristles;
- fixing agents (mousse and varnish).
Lightly moisturize clean hair with a spray bottle, rub in the foam and make a side parting. Select the central strand and divide it into several parts along the hairline.We twist each of them on locks in an upright position. We stand for 5-7 hours. We dissolve the curls, lightly comb and fix with varnish. Such an image will be relevant for a romantic trip or a fun party.
In addition, with the help of soft curlers, only the ends of the hair are curled. For such purposes, as a rule, round products are used.

Review overview
In general, the impressions of the foam curlers are positive. Beautiful ladies who have used soft styling products report amazing results after using them. These products are absolutely safe and do not harm the hair structure. In addition, they are easy to purchase in any store, and their cost suits everyone.
but some ladies note the fragility of foam rubber curlers... With frequent use, the elastic bands of products wear out and break. Naturally, soft foam loses its shape over time, which negatively affects the shape of curls after curling. Also, the owners of soft curlers indicate an important feature - beautiful curls are obtained mainly at the ends of the hair, while at the roots the strands remain only slightly wavy.
