Plopping: The Secret to Perfect Waves and Curls
If you’ve been searching for that game-changing hair hack, look no further—plopping might just be your new best friend. Plopping is a technique that gets the most out of your natural waves and curls, and can take your hair game to the next level.
What Is Plopping?
Plopping is a method that helps your curls or waves dry in a way that enhances their natural shape and reduces frizz. It’s like giving your hair a gentle hug while it dries, letting those beautiful patterns form without any harsh manipulation.
Traditionally, plopping is done with a soft cotton t-shirt or a microfiber towel, but here’s where we do things a bit differently at Faith in Curls. Our plopping isn’t just any plop—it’s a plopping net designed to let your hair air dry naturally. The net allows airflow, so your hair dries faster, all while keeping those waves and curls perfectly in place.
Why Our Plopping Net Is a Game-Changer
Most plopping methods involve wrapping the hair up tightly, which can sometimes lead to flattening or uneven drying. But with our plopping net, your hair has room to breathe. The net gently supports your curls and waves, helping them retain their natural shape without any harsh squeezing or pressure. Plus, the airflow helps your hair dry evenly and more quickly, so you’re not left waiting for hours.
This method is especially great for wavy hair, which can sometimes struggle to hold its shape with traditional plopping techniques. The plopping net allows those waves to settle into their natural "S" shape, giving you that effortlessly tousled look without any extra fuss.
How to Use the Plopping Net
Using our plopping net is super simple:
1. Start with damp hair: After washing and applying your favorite leave-in conditioner or curl cream, gently scrunch your hair to encourage your natural curl pattern.
2. Place the net: Flip your head over and place the net on the back of your neck, then bring it forward to cover your hair. The net should cradle your curls without compressing them.
3. Secure the net: Tie or secure the net at the front, making sure it’s snug but not too tight. You want your curls to stay in place without being squished.
4. Let it air dry: Now, just let your hair dry naturally. The net allows airflow, so your hair will dry more quickly while still holding its shape.
5. Unveil your waves or curls: Once your hair is mostly dry, gently remove the net. You’ll be left with beautifully defined waves or curls, full of volume and bounce.
