It has been a few months since our last no-heat curls tutorial, so we wanted to show you another one today that is perfect for Back to School!
These are called Plopping Curls {or Plunking Curls}, obviously because you plop your hair into a t-shirt, and then tie them up. I use a little product to help define the curls as they dry, so be sure to watch the video to get the full process.

What I love about no-heat curl tutorials is that you are using absolutely zero heat in creating them. For this tutorial, it is a t-shirt creating the curls.
Be sure to start with your hair slightly more than damp, not "dripping" wet. If the hair is too wet, your curls will not turn out. As a reference point, be sure to notice how wet my hair is when I begin the plopping.
Please be sure to give this video a BIG "" if you loved it, and leave a comment below telling us what hairstyle we should do next!

( upbeat lighthearted, music, ), (, cheerful singing ), Hey guys, it's Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles and today I'm going to show you a Back-to-School, DIY method of how to achieve these no-heat curls, using only a t, shirt and a little bit of mousse.. Now, if you guys have loved our videos and love our channel be sure to give us a thumbs up. Now we're calling this tutorial the CGH Plopping Curls, because this technique is called plopping or plunking, and I would assume it's because you kind of plop your hair Into the t shirt when you tie it up. So check it out, you're going to love it, let's go. The first thing you want to do when you're, plopping or plunking. Your hair is just pop a little mousse into your wet hair right out of the shower.. Just put some in your palm and run it through your hair.. I'Ve already done that so go ahead and flip your head upside down and give your hair a shake at the roots.. This is just going to separate the curls and any natural curl that you do have is going to come out at this point., I'm just going to brush everything forward. Take the hair up, lay it on the t, shirt.! Let your hair, just gently fall and we're going to grab the edge of the t, shirt. Take it right to about our eyebrows and around to the back of our head and pinch it and then grab the other edge of the t, shirt right, here. Flip it up and over. ( playful music ). So you make sure you have a sleeve on each side., I'm still going to hold that pinch for a second and tip my head up and then grab those sleeves.. You might have to tie it more than once, especially the first few times.. Then I'm just going to pull this up, so it's not so far down on my forehead and tie it. Ta-da. Then you can tuck these or these corners. If they're driving, you crazy, you can just tuck them in so they're out of your way., Then what you want is see this pocket right here on the top. That'S my hair. There's like that in there., That's my hair! All curled up on the top of my head and that's what you're looking for. So now you're good to either go to bed and sleep on it, and this will actually stay in or to wait all day long. If you're doing this in the morning until your hair is dry in the evening., ( fun perky, music ) The next morning, when you wake up or later that day, you simply undo the t, shirt that you put in and shake the curls out, and you have Curlage. Then, of course, like any normal curls, you just position them the way you want them to lay.. If you need to, you can add a little dry, shampoo. ( sprays, dry, shampoo, ), If sleeping on your hair, still left a titch oily at the top and position them according to where you want them.. You can see just a very natural, very beachy vibe to the curls, because we just let them air-dry.. I hope these no-heat curls make your mornings even that much quicker.. We will see you guys next Sunday bye, you guys., Be sure to check out our latest two videos that you can find here and show us some love by clicking on the subscribe button. On your mark. Get set, go

Paige Skellington: I have naturally curly hair and I do this. It makes my hair look amazing!
Ailene: Thank you SO much for this tutorial! My hair is long, thick, and wavy, and it always would be frizzy and lack definition. After "plopping" my hair, it turned out with a lot of definition and very little frizz. I also love that I only need a T-shirt. Thank you so much! :D
Kristina Klobučar: This will ONLY work on natural curly/wavy hair like Mindy's! On me with straight hair not so much, my hair don't hold heat curls.
Daisy Batalla: This is one of the best method to keep my hair curly after I shower. Thank you so much Mindy I've literally have been doing this to my hair since I've seen this video. This really helps manage my Salvadorian ancestry hair, since my grandpa's hair was legit an afro you can imagine how my hair come out to be. Really the weirdest thing is my parents aren't even African-American (my mom is Salvadorian and my dad is Mexican) but i guess it has to do with my ancestors from El Salvador. But ANYWAY thank you so much for such an easy way to manage my "Beast" of a hair, which is what I call my hair since I was 2.
Lola Y Cloe: me encantó el tutorial!!!! y gracias por la traducción, es genial.

Maci Gordon: thank you so much for this tutorial!!! I recently just got my hair cut shorter and it is so puffy when I brush it and I have been looking for fast easy ways to do my hair. my hair takes so long to curl it with a wand and this will be 10 times easier. thank you Mindy!!!
Miaaston: Can I just say gorgeous!!!!!! Oh and I was wondering if you could do a hairstyle for after the beach or pool because I'm going to Hawaii and we're going to be out all day and I'm trying to find a way to put my hair up after the beach quickly without a hairbrush or anything. That'd be super helpful!!! Ilya though!!! ~Mia
Lexzc: This worked for me sooo well I loved the results!!!!
llilyy: I love this! I have kind of a natural wave in my hair so I think this will work :) I'm going to Italy soon and I think this will be so cute to wear out :D
Emily Springer: This method works really really well! Especially for us naturally curly girls. I do it every time I shower before bed and the curls come out beautifully. Thanks for the video Mindy!
makeitshinebright: I HAVE DEAD STRAIGHT HAIR AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY!!! The key is you have to use a lot of musse so if you didn't use it it's wont work. I wish I could post a pic it's so pretty!!!

Krysta Enloe: I know it's hard to make a video like this longer and more in detail, but I miss you doing your more complex hairstyles!! Not that I don't love the quick and simple ones, but I like a challenge :)
No Worries Nail Art: I have tried this and I absolutely love it. I can't do it if my hair is completely wet because it doesn't dry all the way over night. I have to do it on damp hair and use a spray bottle if some is too dry. Other than that tiny problem, this is the best way for me to curl my hair.
