Plopping

A method used to gently remove excess water from the hair after it has been washed.

This method is usually completed by wrapping the hair in a cotton t-shirt or muslin wrap and allowing it to gently absorb the excess water from the hair. Simply flip your head upside-down, gather all of your curls, waves or coils at the top of your head and wrap them up to keep the curl pattern intact while your hair dries while wrapped for 5 – 15 minutes.

This heat free technique can help cut down on drying time without causing frizz or heat stress.
