Beautiful, bouncy curls are always in style, but attaining the effortless look of them is anything but that. Curly hair can be a real pain when it comes to maintaining, styling, and creating the perfect look. Fussing with curls too much just makes them frizzy but there’s no other way to go about doing hair other than that.
To combat the problem many people end up using way too much product, like gels and sprays, that weigh down hair and make it look bad. Others blow dry, chemically straighten, or run hot irons through curls in attempts to get hair under control.
These can damage and ruin otherwise perfectly healthy hair and eat up a lot of time, patience, and money that could be better spent elsewhere. So what’s a girl to do? There’s hope for curly haired people everywhere in the form of a simple technique called plopping or plunking.
It sounds kinda funny but this method can give you beautiful, frizz-free, bouncy curls. It’s easy to master and only requires a tee shirt. There are no expensive gadgets or serums necessary and since it’s done overnight you’ll free up a lot of time in your morning routine, yet still look great!
This video will show you how to plop your hair so check it out and try it tonight. First, shower and clean your hair, towel dry it, and add any styling product you prefer to use. Only smooth product onto hair from the ears down and don’t put any above your ears because that weighs down hair.
Also, overtime the products build up and that makes hair look really bad and unhealthy. After combing the product(s) in evenly through your hair, lay out a large cotton t-shirt and smooth it down on a flat surface in front of you, a bed works perfectly.
Shake your hair out, then flip it in front of you and carefully lower your head down onto the shirt so that the curls don’t get crumpled or tangled. Keeping your head still, grab the bottom edge of the shirt and wrap it around towards the base of your neck, holding it there in place.
Now grab the top of the tee and pull the neckline part down to the base of your neck, pulling the sleeves to the side of your head. Tie the sleeves in the front so you end up creating a turban out of the shirt and tuck in the tails or any extra loose fabric to keep it in place.
It may take a few tries to master the t-shirt turban but eventually you’ll get it right and love what plopping does for your hair. The shirt will protect your curls overnight as you sleep on them and in the morning all that’s left to do is to unwrap your hair.
Your curls will be dry, bouncy, frizz free, and while you may have to reshape a few with a curling iron, that’s it!
