Tired of having bland, frizzy, and dry curls? Well, worry no more. Today, we’re going to introduce you to the wonders of plopping!
But wait, what exactly is plopping?
In essence, plopping is a curly-hair technique that is done in between applying your styler and drying your curls. The idea behind this is to prevent your curls from going limp and losing its defined, spiral shape after you dry them. 
Plopping is fairly easy, but keep in mind that this method isn’t a one-size-fits-all. Ideally, plopping should last 15-20 minutes and should be done after you’ve washed your hair and added your styling products. However, some curls need more time to plop – in fact, some hair needs an overnight treatment! 
But luckily for you, we have gathered six simple ways to plop your hair to perfection. Follow these instructions and we guarantee you that your hair will love you for it.
STEP 1
The first step, like every other plopping technique out there, is to start with a freshly washed hair. The reason for this is because moisture allows your hair to be easily manipulated and controlled. Also, you can apply any hair moisturizer or styling products of your preference. 
STEP 2
Next, go grab yourself a t-shirt, a towel, or any fabric you have. It is highly discouraged to use traditional terrycloth towels as they absorb too much moisture which your curls desperately need. Other than that, you can use any type of fabric and lay it on a flat surface (bed, chair, bathroom counter).Make sure that the sleeves are closest to you. 
STEP 3
Tilt your head forward, bend your hips, and bring your curls in front of you. Let those curls fall in the middle of the shirt and lower your head until your hair creates a pile or your crown touches the shirt. 
STEP 4
Then, grab the farther end of the shirt (the one with the opening) and flip it over to the nape of your neck. Check to see if all of your strands have been covered by fabric.
STEP 5
Grab the sleeves along with the excess fabric and twist them so that you can tie them together at the back of your head. You can do an extra wrap around your head if you used a long-sleeved shirt in order to make your plop more secure. 
STEP 6
Leave it on for at least 20 minutes; but if you have more time, you can leave it on for a full night. The only thing to keep in mind is to let your curls dry completely. 
After you’ve followed all of these steps, voila! You’re ready to charm the world with your luscious, bouncy, and amazing curls!
