Hair Plop With A T-Shirt | Hair Plopping Tutorial | Enhance Your Natural Curls

Hey guys welcome back to the hair lounge, my name is angelina, and today it's all about hair plopping, i know sounds weird. I had never heard of this term before, but this ultra hit mom was on tick tock hours upon hours of getting sucked in and i was watching everybody plop their hair. What is it stay tuned and i'll? Tell you what i learned all right: let's backtrack! A little bit, hair plopping is kind of a term of how to get your hair to enhance its natural curl. I'M sure some of you have heard hit the like button. If you have heard this before, but if you use a 100 cotton like towel or t-shirt, it makes your hair less frizzy versus using like a normal bath. Towel. I'Ve heard it before, but i never actually ever scrunched my hair or used a t-shirt to actually see if my hair was not as frizzy, but this hair plopping incorporates that into enhancing those curls for you, so i obviously have wet hair. I just shampooed it. I did not do any brushing any combing any straightening of my hair, i literally zero product in it whatsoever, but before i plop my hair, i am going to use my lovely joyco, zero heat to help enhance that wave that i have to my hair. So when you're hair, plopping or you're plopping your hair, it is supposed to give you more curl than what you think or you have on your hair. So what the hair plopping is is you are putting your hair in a t-shirt in a turban style and letting your hair just dry. Naturally, this will help anybody who does not have a whole lot of like curl to their hair. This is going to enhance kind of that natural texture to your hair that help eliminate frizz. It'S about how much i'm going to use same thing run it between my palms and we are going to rake this into my hair, starting on the bottom and just kind of working our way up, i'm going to kind of towards the top of it. I'M just going to scrunch it into my hair. Obviously i don't want to pull a lot of this natural wave that i already have in my hair, so we don't want to really straighten out those natural curls by stretching them. Now is the perfect time to hit that red subscribe button. If you have done this before, i would love to see your results or, if it's your first time trying it go ahead and tag me on instagram of your hair after it's been plopped all right, you guys, i feel like that, feels pretty dang good on my Ends i can feel that there's a little bit more more moisture on them or a little bit more wetness from whenever i shampooed it, but i'm just gon na go all in with this and i'm not going to take a towel to it whatsoever to dry it. Just going to let it do its thing, another thing that this hair plopping is supposed to do a lot of times. When you diffuse your hair, you let your hair air, dry, kind of gravity or kind of the weight of your hair pulls this top kind of curl out. So the plopping, it literally plops all your hair kind of on the top of your head. So you get more volume at your roots than what you normally would, if you're going to, let it air dry so easiest thing to do. Grab your husband's, i wouldn't say favorite t-shirt, because you know he might be mad about that, but grab a cotton t-shirt. 100. Cotton, but a larger t-shirt than what you think you need, because you need to be able to tie it and wrap it around your head, so make sure it's big enough to tie on your head. Another thing is you want to do this maybe say on your bed, put the t-shirt flat on your bed and then flip your head over. On top of that t-shirt. That way you can tie it. I'M not going to do that because we're in my salon it makes a little easier to show you on camera. So i'm just going to put the t-shirt on the back of my chair and plop my hair. That way, all right here we go so those of you who know my husband. He is a hugger, obviously not right now with coven, but i raided his closet and i found this shirt hug life bring it in for the real thing. So this is what we're using today. So you want to. This is where your forehead is going, i'm going to actually fold this over and then i'm going to put my forehead right here. So you want the opening to be facing you, so that is what we're going to do fold it over the top of my salon chair and we're going to flip my hair over when you're doing this. You want to accordion. So when you're laying your hair down, you want it to kind of accordion onto your head that way, it is folding and getting all those curls to kind of sit on top of each other, so make sure whenever you're throwing your head up over the top of Your bed, that is what you are doing, okay, forehead down, ladies: let's do it or guys guys i have long hair. You can do this too. So what we're gon na do is we're gon na take the arms of this t-shirt and you're, leaving them out you're going to take the bottom. So, as you can see, this is the neck. We'Re going to take the bottom of this t-shirt and we are going to pull it up over the top of our head. So that's how you're going to make sure that that hair accordion itself kind of on top of your head smush that hair. So it goes on top of your head grab the bottom of this t-shirt and you're gon na do it at the nape of your neck. So his t-shirt is a little long as you can see so. I'M gon na fold it over and make sure that that hair is tight to your scalp. Then you're going to take this and you're going to wrap it around your head, pulling both sides super tight and i'm going to lift my head up so that my forehead is holding kind of the bottom of that shirt tight. So this is where you're going to grab the arms of the t-shirt and you're tying it onto the back of your head, like so all right, let's set up okay, so it's pretty tight on there. That'S why i say: don't get their favorite t-shirt because you kind of are tugging on those arms and it'll stretch it out and, let's be honest, we don't want to make a mad, but as you can see, this is why i wanted to um. Take the hug life t-shirt because i do look pretty silly in it. So now you just let it do its thing. You can either sleep on it or go outside it's over 100 degrees here in idaho, so it's really hot out there. So i'm just going to walk around and wear it. You do not want to take it off until it's dry, so you want to make sure that you're, conscious of if it's actually dry like right now. I can tell it's not because my head is kind of cool and feels cold to the touch. So i would say you want to give it a couple of hours to make sure that it actually has a chance to dry on your head, so we will come back and show you. My hair plopping results. Three hours later, all right, you guys we are back. Let'S see how this hair plop worked, whoa, okay, really not too shabby. As you can see, i have a little bit more volume than what i normally do. Well, this side's a little wet still, but, as you can see, i have a lot more volume than what i normally do. If i just let it air dry, obviously like i said this side's a little bit wet still so i'd have to probably leave it in a little bit longer, maybe just sleep on it since i do have so much hair, but it definitely has a lot more Wave and curl than what i normally do looks a little bit more like i'm a curly haired gal versus. I just have a little weight to my hair. I like it. What do you guys think leave a comment down below and tell me kind of what you think of this? Obviously, when you pull it straight down, it looks a little crazy, but if you can kind of you know fluff it back up and get the curls going in the right direction. It looks pretty dang good. What i like, as you can see, kind of in this front section - i have a lot more curl versus if i was just gon na, let my hair, you know air dry or diffuse. It has a little bit more curl up on the top or lift. I should say versus when i just let it air dry, so don't forget, i believe, all of the products that i use today down in the description box below. Obviously, i might even try to find where my husband found this hug life t-shirt and leave that link down below too hey happy hair, plopping guys go ahead and hair plop and tag me in it. Thanks for watching we'll see you next time, bye,
