Plopping your hair also cuts down dry time and does not require heat. This technique also keeps wet curls compact and scrunched and can add some volume at the roots.
Most people we know plop for 10-20 minutes and then unleash those curls or waves to either air dry or diffuse.

Micro-plopping, on the other hand, uses a microfiber towel to gently squeeze out excess water and hair products that have been applied.

Both of these techniques allow the hair to begin to dry without the full weight of water and product stretching out the curl pattern.

Do you plop?

It's been a busy week in pop culture and we just want to say that Jada Pinkett Smith is a total babe. She looks amazing with long flowing curls, braids, short hair or with a shaved head. Frankly, she has a perfectly shaped head and would even look gorgeous wearing a paper bag.
The circumstances that led to a lot of social conversations around Alopecia (and the conditions that it is a symptom of) were unfortunate for all involved, however we know there are women out there who now feel seen, heard and represented.
We hope on some level, there can be an increased appreciation of beauty in it's many forms, not just one ideal.
