I am plopping my hair. Note I am not using 3 buns. There will be no pictures.

So what's the fizzing?

I plop during the summer. In the winter having wet curls means my hair won't dry til evening :-P

[blueshirt2003]

The only plopping I know and utilize is a long sleeve t-shirt and just washed hair. Never overnight but in the AM.

Lol! The other day someone put their hair in 3 buns to make curls. It was not happenin. But someone posted a video of a girl "plopping" her hair and I was intrigued. I guess I was the only one! Lol

Yes! The video mentioned that some ppl do it overnight. My biggest issue with my curls is that the weight of my hair makes them fall out before it's dry. So I'm hoping overnight will let the hair dry completely...

I think this has something to do with Alka Seltzer.

Plop plop fizz fizz = AlkaSeltzer

I expect a PIP with a full review in the morning. Did you actually cut up a tshirt?

You don't cut up a shirt.

I plop my hair in the morning and then gently gather it in a pile on top of my head in a claw clip to dry to gravity doesn't pull the curl out

my hair is naturally curly

Yessssss it's a real thing. As mentioned above it's supposed to make/keep curls pretty. It's really just using a long-sleeved tshirt to secure damp hair on the top of your head. Apparently wrapping in cotton protects the curls and doesn't invite frizz. The fibers of towels rough up hair too much or something. I'm sure it'll be fug. Lol

hahaha! Well this doesn't create curls. It's just like a super scrunch.

I obviously need to google plopping because I am wrong. lol

I'm afraid to Google. There may be poop involved.

i wish plopping didn't cause so much freaking shrinkage for my hair. it's so easy and convenient.

Really? This is exciting to me. My curls are too loose to be worth a damn if I air dry.

Just watch her do the wrap. The rest of the video is annoying. Lol

[MWOS]

nevermind, you can't really see it and I look weird

[papie]

Lol
You need to do pictures! It can't be worse than my three buns.

I comb in the shower, scrunch in a little conditioner and some curl gel or mousse and plop with a t shirt for 30 min. The gel/mousse helps keep the weight of my hair from pulling out the curl and the conditioner makes it frizz less. I've never tried overnight...you'll have to let us know how it goes!

[FastHands]

I didn't use any product this go-round because I'm afraid it'll be a hot mess and I may not WANT it to stay. Heh

Hasn't anyone here heard of the Curly Girl method? I lived that lifestyle for five or six years before I cut it all off. Stupid pregnancy really straightened out my hair.

Anyway plopping is a big part of CG.
