Plopping - What is it?

I just discovered this technique the other day while researching No-Poo and I can't believe I have never heard of plopping before.

What is plopping??

     It's a technique used to dry your curly locks the natural way.  It cuts down on the frizz and enhances you natural curls.

  As you know, I have thick curly hair and curly headed people know that our hair is dry and frizzy.  We try to tame it using all kinds of products that claim to tame the frizz...  Yes, some help but none fall into the crunchy way of living.  All contain ingredients which are not natural and aren't doing our bodies any good either.

I gave it a try and I was Ah-Mazed!!   How come no one told me about this before?  Shouldn't there be some manual for curly haired people?  I think so!

Here is what I did.

Basically, I squeezed as much water out of my hair as I could in the shower, then scrunch it with you hands to start the curly madness.  I found a long sleeved t-shirt laid it out on my bed with the sleeves closest to me and plopped my hair in the middle of this shirt. Folded the bottom of the shirt over the back of my head, gathered the sides and rolled them up.  Next cross the sleeves over the back of you head, like you are tying you shoes, bring it around to the front and tie a knot on you forehead.   Ta-da!!!

You plopped!  In the end, it looks like a turbin and my husband had a good laugh!

Here is a short video that will show you how to plop your hair.
