I hope you're clicking on this video because it was linked after my last video where I talk all about air drawing my hair and how I get the best results from air drawing my hair and in that video I talk specifically about plopping so I promise that I would make this little quick like two-minute plopping tutorial for some of you who are like new to the curly grow method or don't really know anything about it and then I can spare the people who have been watching my channel for years the pain of watching me go through a hair plop again on this channel so the purpose of the plop in this video and in most of my videos is to absorb some of the excess water out of my hair before I either go through the full air drawing process or before I diffused my hair the main purpose of this step in this scenario anyway is to take excess water out of your hair so that the weight of the water is not pulling your curls straight while your hair dries for the plopping process traditionally I always used a t-shirt like one of my husband's t-shirts a cotton t-shirt never a towel you can use a microfiber towel You can use a t-shirt you can use an old baby blanket you can use a flower sack towel You can use whatever you have that's convenient That doesn't have like a Fiberist material like a Terry cloth towel that's not going to create frizz and basically like rough up your curls as they're drawing So that's plopping if you have any questions or comments leave them in the comments section below I hope you like this little tutorial if you did give it a thumbs up if you didn't give it a big old thumbs down Subscribe to my channel and I will see you soon in my next video. Bye
