Plopping is a hair styling technique primarily used by individuals with curly or wavy hair. It involves gently placing wet hair into a cotton t-shirt or microfiber towel to absorb excess water without disrupting the natural curl pattern. This method helps enhance curl definition and reduce frizz. The process typically follows washing and conditioning the hair. After applying styling products, the hair is gathered and "plopped" into the fabric, which is then wrapped around the head. This technique is popular among those who follow the Curly Girl Method, a hair care routine designed to promote healthy curls.
