HOW TO: PLOP CURLY HAIR

[@thefortysecond]

Thank you for making this so short and to the point, no extra long intro or 20 minutes of buildup before showing the method! I've just started my wavy/curly hair journey, and I'm trying this right now.

[@writegirl422]

Most simple and straightforward guide to plopping I’ve ever seen! I love it.

[@curlytay]

Yay! So glad you found it helpful!

[@TheMetalhead678]

Trying this now, got it wrapped in a T-shirt, wish me luck! I'm a dude with shoulder length wavy hair, I'm hoping this tames the frizz. Thanks for making this video straight to the point and easy to follow.

[@janebilleter5299]

I plopped for the first time this morning and used your smiling techniques. Wow!!!! My hair has so much less wet frizz and is looking great. Thank you so much

[@howcomeunevergothere9]

Same here

[@suziequzie]

Thank you! I had to rewind it a couple of times, but I'm now plopping for the first time. Not really curly hair on my head, but it's been a wavy/straight half-and-half kind of thing. Hoping to enhance my natural waves.

[@curlytay]

So happy to help!! I hope that your waves turned out beautifully! ❤️

Thank you so much for this video. I don't plopp often. When I do, I draw a blank!😮 Your video has saved me on several occasions. I pray you-tube never takes this down.

[@ArchToAchilles]

I'm almost 30, have curly hair, and have never in my life known how to get nice, frizz-less curls. I found this technique on tik tok and came to KZbin for an explanation. I have to try this tonight!

[@curlytay]

I hope you loved how your hair turned out ☺️

[@teedoubleu9602]

Thanks for your clear explantations.. I understand plopping so much better now

[@Aligirl77]

I really wanted to see your hair dry 😞 to get an idea of the final results. but a very good technique video!

[@emmaspencer7128]

Seriously, thank you for making a simple video for a simple technique. Every other video I watched was basically like watching "100 steps on how to tie your shoes" and still end up kind of confused 🤦 Some hereos don't wear capes. They wear tshirts on their head. 😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂

[@annaryeng6616]

I’ve been doing the t-shirt plot wrong this entire time. I’ve been putting my head near the collar of the shirt instead...🤦🏼‍♀️ Thanks for this!

[@curlytay]

There's no right or wrong way to do it, this method is just what I have found to be easiest/looks the least silly haha! So glad you found the video helpful! 😊

[@annaryeng6616]

Curly Tay Oh, thank you! I do find it a lot better your way though. 😁

[@NC-ij9rb]

I don’t think there’s really anything wrong bout that 😂

[@shaylapaul726]

@@curlytay I am a first learner and I was born with natural curly hair

[@JesBewsey]

Hahaha same, but I've just been my way through it- different & disasterous each & every time. Just like "how am I supposed to get the hair in here & nothing is big enough and I'm blinded by hair & also maybe parts of whatever t-shirt materialed thing I've decided to subject my head to at the moment"...& it is an ongoing frustrating & actually sort of emotionally painful disaster that ends in rough, raw, exasperated bellowing like 75% of the time. But then I remembered not only that the internet exists, and there's also this whole video-y place you can go fulla tutorials (...here. right exactly here where we all are: this place that's existed for what like 15, 20 years ffs? Hahaha)...BUT ALSO I keep swearing I'm gonna watch some gd videos before I wash my hair again & oh wow it's been a year and I'm finally doing it. F YEAH! YAYEH! :::high fives the wall too hard::: Also ok so this hair wrapping method is the most logical, simple thing ever & I have chosen to laugh (instead of cry or punch myself in my own clavicle like a rabid idiot w/emotional problems) at the fact that I have never once come anywhere near pulling this method in the video off despite my approach changing every single time & the fact that afaik, I ostensibly have an at least *partially* functioning human brain. But uhh wrap it neatly using the sleeves already there? Did that very obvious & graceful solution occur to me or even just accidentally occur bc i mean come on there's only so many ways to not-stupidly fold a t-shirt around yr head, right? But nooo I just kinda mashed a shirt on there, somehow using the neck hole around my scalp, and then I'd find a way to like bring clips (that don't work) & sometimes a second scarf (that also doesn't work bc come on like wtf is going on here why) into the situation so that I can have half of my hair covered & the rest splapping all over the place flickin cold slimy water everywhere & making everything so terrible. Just the absolutely stupidest & most ridiculous approach: I did a new version of that every however often for a year HAHAHACFJCJ Bc I am stupid. Anyway, thank you for this extremely convenient video & for saving me from myself...and also ty to anyone who hung on for this long-winded self-crap-talking diatribe of giggly frustration. Please enjoy feeling deeply, profoundly smarter than me if that sorta thing charms yr pickle, bc you obviously are as I've been all but taping a napkin to my head & affixing 5 randomly acquired bobby pins to the napkin &/or my hair for some reason (these do nothing but piss me off so it's a good thing I keep doing it) & expecting that to dry my extremely long hair. FML. ❤ I love you. Ok bye.

[@bernadettekapocias842]

No towel at all as you get out of the shower? I noticed your hair wasn’t heavy and dripping with water - my wet hair would saturate a tee shirt within seconds. Do you use a second tee shirt as a first round?

[@venayaramkissoon]

This is a great tutorial! But I have 1 question though, can I use a normal towel to do this? Or will it just get frizzy

About how long do you keep your curls plopped in your T-shirt? I'm trying to do more natural processes on my hair right now unless I'm going someplace special and I'll blow it out but during the week I work from home and I would like to do more natural processes for my hair and use my natural curl. It's not like kinky curly or tight curls but sort of loose curls.

Hey should i put my product in before or after the plop method? I jus learned about this so im curious :o

How do you refresh your hair in the morning on days you don't wash. I only wash once a week, or even less sometimes, and it looks awful in the morning. All I can do is a spritz then it gets frizzy.

Hi there. I am knew to the journey of embracing my natural curl and so glad I found you to help guide me. My hair is very much the same curl pattern and length. Question for you, do you color your hair and if so does that hurt your curl at all?

[@mr.fahrenheit347]

i got blue highlights in my hair and i had to bleach it for the color to show and it doesn’t affect my curl pattern at all but it does cause dryness and frizz. use a lot of conditioner and moisturizing products. i did the very ends of my hair so i could chop it off eventually. i wouldn’t recommend dying the roots

[@faiththeobald3318]

Thank you !! Everyone else’s videos never get to the point, perfect video for this ❤️

How wet is your hair when you put it up? If you sleep on it, is it completely dry by the morning?

[@fleur8102]

Hi just wanted to leave a quick comment. I have a nose/brow that looks a lot like yours. I was always very insecure about it esp from the side profile. But seeing it on you, it is so gorgeous 😍 you have helped me appreciate it so much more so thank you!!

[@curlytay]

Aw you're so sweet! I'm so glad seeing me helped you ❤️

[@AndiDoesStuff1973]

I cannot "plop" my hair to save my life. It's about shoulder length when it's freshly curly. My tee is always facing the other direction and my hair ends up all smooshed down on the top. You made that look way easier. I'm definitely going to try that! Your lighting is so natural and beautiful. What do you use?

[@miinziiiiiii]

She used the sun 💀

[@savannnnnnah]

a window?😭

[@mrsupchurch2987]

Did you use any product on your hair before plopping?

[@MariaM-xl9jn]

I usually do this And leave them overnight , my front hair look AMAZING but the back of my hair is usually flattened how can I fix it?

[@curlytay]

Try fanning your curls out starting at your ear lobes instead of letting all of your curls clump all together at the top of your head. This should give the back curls enough space to spring up. (Hopefully that makes sense ☺️)

[@ishamayor9501]

so incredibly simple and helpful and effective thank you so much!

[@bg3236]

My problem is always the back, the hair doesn’t fall down, the strands are wonky and there’s a totally nest, even if I don’t use a super sticky gel. Suggestions? Thank you! 😊😊

[@sakinakharrubi6303]

You might need more protein or moisture depending on your hair.. a nest to me sounds like you might want to try a strong protein treatment and then a good strong leave in afterwards.. worked for me anyway!! Good luck 😊

[@bg3236]

Sakina Kharrubi could it be the stickiness of the gel? Thanks!

[@sakinakharrubi6303]

B G could be? I have really thin hair so that’s not an issue for me lol.. but that could be a factor for thick hair.. honestly I noticed just focusing on my hair’s needs it helped with all my problems!
