"I use way more products than I did before" I think every girl with wavy hair can relate to that 😂😂😂

Growing as a Latina: you can’t go to sleep with wet hair or you’ll die

This is gonna sound weird but I like love your face shape

Crazy how this curly hair is coming back in style. We didn’t have words like “plop/plopping” for it when I was younger.

I plop it where I have to tie the sleeves on the front of my head instead of tying the sleeve on the back of my head. This way the curls sit more on top of my head instead of the tshirt pulling my hair back. This helps the roots not flatten as much.

My hair would still be wet in the morning if I did that, ha!

I've tried plopping overnight but my hair would still be pretty wet in the morning. What I do now is wash my hair around 7/8pm, let it air dry for a few hours and when I go to bed I put all my hair in a satin bonnet and go to sleep like that and in te morning my hair is dry and nice and curly :) I think the reason this works better for me is because when I plop all my hair just sticks together and is too tightly pressed to my head, whereas in a bonnet my hair has more room to dry and move.

So no one has ever taught me how to take care of anything for myself, no skin care, hair care, how to shave. Nothing. So here I am almost 30 and my hair is frizzy like in your old pictures. I'm definitely not completely hair illiterate but its obviously not healthy. I'm starting to think I have actually curly hair. Like beachy spiral curls but right now it's a mess...

You hair is literally goals 😍🥰

Well this was actually extremely helpful! I wash my hair at night, due to an OCD i had from childhood. I just feel cleaner washing at night. I lose all my curls when I sleep with it out and my hair is roughly 2B\2C type when I do the CGM properly. So I'm happy i found your channel. Thanks girl!

i love how plopping leaves my curls but i agree with it leaving the roots flat! i’ve tried adjusting the tee shirt at my forehead to not fully flatten my hairline and that’s sort of helped. i’ll usually only plop if i’m doing a half up hairstyle. pink💕

lmaoo anybody else trying this over corona break bc they didn't know how it was gonna turn out??

I’m here because I watched your video about how you didn’t know your hair was curly, and wow, this resonated with me! My hair has always been frizzy and had a weird wave to it and I ALWAYS straightened for hers and years! But lately I’ve noticed when I air dry it for a few hours without brushing it, it forms better waves/curls! And then I came across your video and now realize I definitely have curly hair! I’m definitely a new subscriber! Your voice is so soothing and you explain things so great!! I will be trying your plopping method tomorrow and I’m so excited! Thank you for making these kinds of videos!!!! Pink!!!!!💗💕💖

I think diffusing in the morning is to kinda push the root back up, maybe try diffusing the top upside down?

Is your hair still wet in the morning? My hair is always still like 60% damp in the morning when I do this😭

You should do a video on how you refresh your curls from day to day, unless you wash it everyday? I only wash my hair every 3 days and after the second day it’s just not cute anymore

Your hair turned out beautifully! Every time I try plopping overnight it just get hella flat 🤦🏽‍♀️

So refreshing to see a curly-haired girl who understands that silicone is not the devil.

You could always try clipping your hair at the root aka...."medusa clipping" before you put your hair up in the t-shirt.

Where I live, “plopping” is slang for taking a dump 😭

Girl I absolutely love your channel. I have the same hair type as you, I bleach my hair and I struggle with extremely dry and oily hair. Your hair-care routines have helped soo much, like I would straighten my hair every single day because curly hair is alot of work and I ended up killing all of it. You're gorgeous and definitely goals. Pink 🥰

Try to have your "plop" on top of your head. So that when you are laying your head in your shirt, you are totally upside down, and all your hair sits on top! You will get more volume from the roots that way.

To anyone wanting to know how to plop without flat hair on the top of your head- stop using a flat tshirt laid out. Instead use the tshirt (or buttoned flannel) and hold the tshirt open by the bottom, then lay it straight down onto a flat surface. I tie the neck hole closed with a hair tie beforehand. Then plop your hair inside your open shirt bundle. It should almost be like you're putting the tshirt on. Then draw the shirt tight at the back of your head and around to the front, gathering the excess fabric in your hands. Twist the excess into a knot in the front and secure with another hair tie or tie it into a knot. If you used a long sleeve, then you can tie the sleeves however you wish around your head to give extra support. Doing it this way creates a tall space in the shirt above your head so the curls are still flat but haven't smashed your hair down.

I did this last night and let me tell you I have a long bob right now and I’m on my journey to getting my curly hair back I woke up looking like a lion with this method of plopping SHORT hair girls please be aware

To add volume at the roots... BEFORE YOU PLOP, insert several metal pin curl clips at your roots where you want the volume (I always pay extra attention to my crown area). If you’re not sure how to use the clips, look up “Medusa clipping” & then modify the concept for your hair. :)

Pink?!?! I sleep the same and have found if I root clip, then plop, it keeps the top from going flat. You and your curls are beautiful!

Pink Clip up only the crown before using the t shirt. I’d never heard of plopping. I squeeze water out of my hair by scrunching from the bottom, then let it partially dry. When damp, I add product (I use - Frizz Ease for curls. I separate chunks of my hair and finger comb to make locks, use the Frizz Ease, and finger- curl the lock. (Just to train the locks to hang together from the root.) At the end, I pin up my crown with a claw clip. If it’s before bed, I skip the clip and toss my hair up over my pillow and sleep as normal. I wake up with volume all over (separate locks of curls help). Run my fingers through, and I’m ready to go! (Profile pic is a wig. 😉😂)

I literally have ur hair type, finally someone i can relate too!!

Girl thank you! I lost so much hair by using the curly girl method. My hair likes silicone but I haven’t used silicone in a year now because I see all these youtubers say not too. What was I thinking 🤦🏻‍♀️. I tried diva curl and it made my hair so dry. I would try all these products that were recommended by youtubers and it just wasn’t working for me. But once I heard you say you use silicone because it’s good for your hair it clicked to me 😐 I’m going back to my original routine before the curly girl method.

watching your hair videos made me embrace my natural hair ❤️ my fried ends thank you

I only just started my hair journey, for the longest time I thought I had straight hair because when I would brush it wet it would dry with very slight texture. Only recently when I forgot to brush after a shower did I realize I have some natural waves! So excited and I’ve been watching your channel a lot!

I’m a wavy-ish girl and I’ve got to say, your videos have helped me the MOST with my natural hair 🥰

When I plop I like to gently put my fingers under my hair near roots and shake so I get some separation from my scalp. Adds more volume

I use the small clips to pin my hair along the sides to give it the volume and doesnt go flat. Just be careful not put the clip on a wave weird. But this helps the flatness and gives you more volume. You can put then in the front and middle of your hair looks like where your part divides. Also make sure you get clips that don't dig in when you sleep. :) love your videos.

Anyone else think she could be Shaliene Woodley’s twin? Omg so pretty

Love this! Gonna try this next!! Also- no hate- I used to be the same way about silicone free. Thought it was the worst idea bc my hair looked horrible with natural products. Buttt, I stuck it out for a few months and I will never go back to silicone products! Silicones are a temporary fix. Just food for thought! Of course your choice!

Pink, I find the top of my hair is also flattened too when using a tshirt. Now I use a satin sleep cap and some large clips on hold my waves on top of my head, with varied results.

Get a diffuser!!! They dry your hair quick and prevent damage from sleeping on wet hair! It also boosts volume, curl definition and adds shine! I use bed heads diffuser but any one would work perfectly!!

Your hair is beautiful. I’m just tossing some thoughts your way! :) I think plopping is causing your waves/curls to look wonky in some areas. Also because your hair is being confined to a space your root will always dry flat. You might want to consider hover diffusing or air drying depending on what you have time for. Sleeping in a satin bonnet is also great when your hair is dry because it allows you to maintain your wave pattern. I have really curly hair and my bonnet has saved my life. I can actually wear my hair down for 3 days in a row now without adding extra product!

I’m 34 now and I’ve used silicone products and sulfate products my whole life (obviously clarifying my scalp when needed). I don’t use a lot of products-less is better. My hair is four feet long, curly, and healthy. Use what is best for your hair. To create volume at the top is to push your wet hair forward ans style it at the top and then use small claw clips to secure the top of your head (there are tutorials on how to do that) and then rest of your hair plop as usual. ❤️

You are incredibly beautiful. I love your jawline it looks supercute!

Love your curls! To help with volume at the root, as soon as your take it out I would flip your head upside down and use your fingers spread out and shake out your hair like giving yourself a scalp massage really fast while upside down! It helps me get volume everytime i feel my hair is flat! After you do this you could use a tiny bit of your fave hair spray and it should hold!

Pink! 💗 this. Try “fluffing” your hair in the middle part just before you put it into the tshirt, that should help with it being so flat on top while drying.

A little hit for when it come to ploping your hair, I have wavy/curly hair. All my life I've struggled to manage my hair bc it is SUPER THICK and it goes down to my butt. I've started using aussie mirlicle curl for everyday routines and marcan oil products for when I want my hair to be more defined and neat. When I plop my hair after the shower, I tip my head completely upside down, take the bottom of my shirt and tie it in a little tie on my hairline above my neck. Then I grab the rest if the t shirt and I place it over that. I then twist the sleeves until they reach the top of my head then suffice them with a knot. This leaves my hair voluminous and bouncy, while also leaving you with your smooth shiny texture! You should really try it, it works wonders for me

I used to plop my hair overnight but then an hairdresser told me that it is very damaging for the hair to stay close in a wet place for that long. I stopped doing that but if you get the results you want then keep going💕

🌺 Ok it’s kind of difficult to explain but Before putting your hair in the t shirt- try letting it Fall like it would normally with your hair in that middle section, and then take some small sections of hair right on the top and kind of bend it over and clip it with a small hair clip while it’s pulled and popped up a bit. So that it keep sitting like that with the clip on. Do that with a couple of sections hair and clip them individually and then wrap in 👚 like normal. If you do this the right way I guarantee you have fullness on the top when you untie and unclip the next morning. Hope it makes sense? I do this always- works like a charm 👍🏻😁 Oh and by the way - PINK

A scalp refresh with just water on finger tips always boosts my roots.

To get rid of flatness ruff it up a little bit in the top and dont put the shirt too tight put it a little bit looser in the front that should do the trick💙

THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, I wasn’t convinced about the whole CGM because of the amount of time you need! I’m a low maintenance girl and I always go to bed with my hair wet, will deffo try this method next time I wash my hair!💁🏼‍♀️

I tried this the other day worked like a charm

Try a satin bonnet for plopping instead of a tshirt. It works even better for reducing frizz and keeping moisture/shine, but without flattening hair in the front.

Your hair is so pretty!!!

Try using a silk wrap for sleep in place of at shirt! Because it’s tied differently it shouldn’t press down on your scalp as much

You are just so naturally beautiful. I love you and your hair.

I get a good 2-3 days of really good curls when I plop overnight.

I plop my hair but I don’t sleep on it because my curls will be all wonky! Your hair is gorgeous btw 🤍

YESSS YOU HAVE EXACTLY MY HAIR, FINALLYYY

That is like goddess hair

You can also stick your fingers in the t shirt after plopping and create the start of a part on the side of your head so when you take it out and put your hair back in a middle part it will have volume

Omg this is so helpful cause I have almost the exact same hair as her 😇❤️

My problem is that I can't sleep with my hair wet

Blow dry, on cool if you prefer, just the ROOTS so they dont stick to your head, then plop. I've learned that especially with thick or long hair the weight of your hair will weigh down the root if you don't dry the roots so they keep volume before you air dry.

This motivated me so much it was a 5 minute video bro and it's actually that easy!!!! Imma start doing it. Love your video got me really excited to explore the rest of ur vids! God bless

Guys this really works! I do this method too since 3 years. I put extra towels on my pillow so my pillow doesn't get wet and it kiiiinnnda helps my hair to dry faster. And when it's winter I have to blow dry my hair. Sorry if my English isn't good, I tried to share my experience.

If u love middle parting and it flattens, u can do middle parting in zig zag pattern before wrapeeing t-shirts, once u unwrap the tee u can do middle parting as normally u wud do

omg... have i finally found a youtube with my curl type and pattern??? you’re a godsend!! edit: pink :)

You should try the pineapple method ! It works really good as well n keeps volume

A great way of getting control of your hair is something I do which is put it in a very low ponytail and leave it overnight. This is good for people with huge hair xx

After you put the tshirt on your head, gently pull out a little loop of hair out from your bang secition. Then when its dry it will be shaped aroumd your face instead of glued flat to your head lol. You could also pull out a section and make it a little pouff. It would at least have volume.

you can use a volume mousse for the roots!! and can use it dry :D

Pinkk. Solution for the flat top. I plop and always get the flat spot and thought i was doing wrong but really its just the pressure. What i do now is plop my hair down in the shirt. Then finger curl my little bang area and leave it twistdd and plop it with the little finger twists in. Comes out perfect after I pullout rhe plop and slightly loosen it 👌

How can someone be so freaking PRETTY

Pink. Hello actually this is my first time commenting lol I just started doing something to my hair I’ve always had it wavy and with frizz but lately it has been straight wavy idk but I finally decided to do something to it. I’m not sure what I should get I’m also in a budget so that doesn’t help. So the products I just bought are the suave, hydrating shampoo and the moisturizer curl activator cream, when I put this is when I brush my hair then scrunch it, rinse a bit then apply a muse. Apparently I do this plopping technique wait about 5-10 min let air dry and try to not touch it and I don’t break the curls cause apparently it frizzes but it does look more healthy and shinny

Ok I found a much better way to wrap this plop. I have my hair in this now. First time trying . I’m excited to see what it looks like in the morning 😁thanks for the vid!

I was thinking for the past 2 days of a way to sleep with my hair wet and now you did this 🥺♥️ thx

Girl my hair would be tangled as heck if I slept like that but I’m still gonna try it Thanks for the video!! New sub :)

when you take your hair out in the morning use root lifting clips for a half hour or so!

pink. My friend got me into this technique because she suspects I might have curly hair. I personally always thought I had wavy, but she refers to my straight hair being so because I wear a bun a lot when I need my hair out of my eyes. That my frizziness, and poofiness, could be a sign that I'm a curly haired guy.

To fix the issue of the flattened crown tie your hair so that it rests atop your head instead of in a low bun! This will increase volume rather than hinder it

I love the pink bedsheet!

Your hair looks gorgeous!! I've tried different drying methods with my hair but not plopping yet, I'll have to try it! Personally, I love having volume at the top of my head and when my hair dries a certain way and I don't have it, I'll just try styling it again. I'll take a spray bottle full of water and spray the top of my hair, then comb through to make sure the water is distributed. I'll gather my hair into a pouf at the front, take a hair clip and clip it in place! Then I'll just let it dry completely. (Someone else mentioned clipping your hair, I'm not position if this is the same thing but it sounds like it!) Good luck and thanks for the video!

I basically do this exact routine. I will shower and then plop my hair for a little while I do my skin care. Then I take it out and diffuse lightly till I feel a cast forming. After I do this I put it back in the plop. I find this helps my hair be completely dry in the morning and lets me manipulate my waves a bit more before they completely set

With flatness the it may help only styling your hair with your head flipped so your not dragging your roots down while applying products

What exactly are all the products you use everyday on your hair?

Pink!! Thank you for the video! Your hair is GORGEOUS. You’re motivating me to try and wear my hair wavy more often. It’s such a struggle for me I give up easy and just straighten it way too often ☹️ It’s just so much faster for me. But I wanna give my natural hair a chance to be better! So thank you!

OMG I also use Moroccan Arabian oil products and I love it!!

awe ur channel gives me rly food vibes and i do the same with my hair !! and ur also very prettyy

Whoa your hair is so beautiful😍

When I plop my hair I do the t shirt the other way so the tie in on the front of my hair like on my forehead and that way it’s loose on the top of my head and doesn’t flatten. That might help :)💕

Hi, here is my tip; use a curler - hair roller (sticky one) on the front section of you're hair and do the rest of you're hair as u are used to doing it. Much love from the Netherlands!

Didn't read all the comments so I don't know if someone said this, but try putting little to no products in your roots. Products weigh down hair and you're trying to add volume there. If you read this and try it, let me know if it works for you.

I use tiny little clear hair clips when I want volume or I will take a vented brush and lift at the root and spray with hairspray and blow dry immediately. Don't use too much or it will not be free flowing.

I use pin curlers or duck bill clips along the length of my part at the roots to prop up my hair for volume when it’s drying. I lift the hair up and put the clip in perpendicular to my scalp. Works great!

wow love your curls

THIS IS WHAT I NEEEDD OMGGG

Thanks for the videos. Maybe you’ve covered this in another video but I am curious what you do on nights/mornings when you don’t wash your hair since I know you said you don’t wash every day. Do you just wet it at night and plop? Do you put product in it again the next day? Thank you! I’m trying to help my 11 year old daughter who has wavy hair very different from mine.

Instead of putting it up in a tshirt try a silk bonnet, get a large one as you have loads more hair and flip all your hair forward over your face, gather it together and then push it into the bonnet. Once the bonnet has been put on slide any stays under the band and back into the bonnet (I find it easier to use the silk/satin material of the bonnet as a hook around my finger and I reach down through the band with the material grab the strays and slide them up. You may need to Bobby pin the sides to keep it on overnight xxx

This is probably gonna be the cure to all my problems lol bc I refuse to get up early in the morning just to do my hair ❤❤❤❤

didn’t even realize i had truly wavy hair until recently, excited to try this out 😬
