Hair plopping is a heat-free hair drying technique for curly-haired people. It is a technique that you can use after you've applied your stylers and before you start to dry your hair. It will accordion your curls, helping them keep their defined, spiral shape, even after they dry.
Why plop?
The Plop will soak up moisture without creating frizz while your hair dries, significantly cutting down your drying time.
The best thing about hair plopping is that it enhances the curl definition and produces bouncy curls. Since your hair is tightly wrapped into a cloth, it prevents static that makes your hair frizzy. It helps to dry your curls quicker than ever, significantly cutting down your drying time while providing lift at the root!
