A dwarf star could form in different ways depending on what kind. Red dwarfs and brown dwarfs are formed when nebula compresses into a giant burning ball of gas, just like most stars do; white dwarfs are formed after a star became a red giant and blown off its outer layers, the remaining core became a white dwarf; black dwarfs are formed after white dwarfs cooled down and stopped emitting visible light.
