I have very curly Hair. Ploping does not work for me. I brush my hair upside down in the shower with conditioner in it, then apply the gel in the shower, I SCRUNCH a lot. Then after it is scrunched I take a t-shirt and I will scrunch more water out of it. Then I take the T-shirt and I wrap it like you would with a normal towel. I then normally do my make up routine and get ready for work, I take my hair out of the t - shirt, then I will defuse my hair low heat low blow pressure. Once it is really dry.. I DRY scrunch upside down, where you scrunch all the crisps out of the Gel. Dry scrunching is KEY for my hair.. It fluffs my hair and makes it looks amazing.
+Brittany Allan Cool! Thanks for sharing how you do your curly hair! ( :
Brittany Allan
Brittany Allen, do you wash your conditioner out or leave it in before you put gel?
For those who are just here for the "hair wrapping technique": 3:30
thank u so much
There you go!
I will start plopping my next wash. Thanks for the info. By the way, your video was very helpful. Cheers
Glad to hear it! Hope it works well for you ( :
I have never tried plopping because I was scared of my hair looking more crimpy than curly, but I will have to try this on a day I don't have to go anywhere just to give it a test run lol. My way isn't totally green, but I just use a hair product designed for curly hair and a tiny bit of gel just for hold, scrunch it up and let it air dry. It gives more of a scrunched look than curly, but most days I don't have patience to actually curl each piece as you do :)
+KristinaLovesMU That's what I did too, try it on a day I wasn't going anywhere-lol. ( : Thanks for sharing what works for you!
Oh, thanks for this video! My nine year old has super thick, long, curly red hair! (she looks just like Merida from Brave) And I have thin, stick straight hair. Maybe this will help! I'm at such a loss with how to style curly hair! We may try the gel recipe too!
Oh wow, her hair sounds beautiful, but I bet hard as a momma to style! Hope it can help. ( :
I just plopped my hair for the first time. I watched a few videos before I was able to actually get my plop nice, tight & looking like all of the other plops. Your video really helped to clarify what to do. Thank you! Unfortunately it's noon here so I won't be able to leave it long enough. Can't wait to try it throughout an evening! Thanks again. You helped me so much. I am hoping to see a little bit of results for the time I am able to do this.
I've definitely wondered about this before. I love that you shared your tips for plopping. I was wondering if you could tell us about your hair color.. is it natural? do you have it professionally done? or do you do it at home.
I usually bunch my wet hair, with product in it, together, and use a large butterfly clip on the top of my head. I sleep like that, and in the morning, I take the clip off, and I have my curls. I use the same clip to "pull up" the roots that the clip/hair sat on all night to give some volume - for an hour or so, and take it off before I leave for work. I will definitely try plopping as opposed to this, and see which I like better :)
+StickItOutTillTheEnd Cool, thanks for sharing! ( :
when literally only 7 seconds of was all i needed to figure out the technique but i mean get that watch time though.
This was such a great description of how to plop and refresh the next morning. I've never been able to plop properly. Gonna try this soon.
Glad you found it helpful!
Loved this! I either let my hair air-dry or do something similar to what you do but without any real knowledge of method: I'll try your technique next time, also I really want to make your gel recipe!! thank you Ashley ♥
+francesca Ⓥ di leandro You're welcome! Hope you like them!
Thanks for this vid, recently I thought I might try and see if I have curly hair but never new how to do it before 👍
I love how explanatory your video was and it worked for me! Tysm! 🥰
You're welcome!
I commented once about how you get your curly hair with no frizz hehe I'm glad you made this video, even though you replied =) I also have curly hair & will try this method tomorrow night.
+Daniela P Oh awesome!! Thanks so much for giving me the idea to do it. ( : Hope you like it!
This was really helpful and you helped save me some money - thank you!
Glad to help!
Thanks Ashley. .I love your videos. .Thanks for all the great tios always
+Ji Ja You're welcome!
I love your videos! I did the flax recipe yesterday. I can't wait to try it!
Glad to hear it! ( :
I've had pin straight hair most of my life. In the last year or so it's become a little bit curly which I absolutely love! I don't know-horomones maybe? I'm 39. I'm going to try this method tonight and see how my hair comes out. Thanks for sharing.
+aubiegirl76 Hope it turned out for you!
Starts at 3:27. Thank me later.
I do this all the time, and love it!
+Sara P Awesome! ( :
Girl, you and I have the same type hair. Mine is long, thick, and curly. I feel blessed to have such thick hair as I'm sure you do. (We'll probably never have thinning hair, that's a good thing!) But, the process we go through is certainly not for anyone without patience, lol. Over the last couple years I've resorted to washing and then twisting into a bun style with a clip while wet/damp. I wear it like that even after it's dried alot of the time just because of time restraints and it's so much easier to just have it up! :)
+urthebest1122 Yes, hopefully dealing with all the thick hair will ensure we never have thinning hair-lol! Thanks for sharing what works for you!
Beautiful hair! I don't see how any of these other ppl are saying your hair isn't curly. My definition of a curl is anything that curls into a loop. Wavy hair? Meh, not so much curl as much as just curves. I have naturally wavy hair that I love! Just for fun lately though I've been looking at heatless ways to curl hair. The Luxy Hair channel has a ton of great tutorials and ideas! And yeah you're going to find some crazy stuff, but as long as it works right? XD A friend of mine and I did headband curls this week and we loved the results!
Thanks for sharing and for your kind words! I'll have to check out the other channel you mentioned. ( :
I have super straight hair and this is fascinating!
+Lo C ( : I always wondered what would happen if someone with straight hair did plopping...would it make your hair curly or just wavy? He he!
This is how you make a video. Show demonstration of steps while explaining them in under 8 minutes, show end result. Thanks again! I’m T-shirt plopping right now!
Good to hear!
THANK U BESTIE
Hmmm... the twisting and pulling sections of hair is not working for the curl pattern and volume at the roots. Have you done this without twisting?
Depends what kind of curl you want...I like a more twisted curl I'm sure others on youtube have other ways of curl styling perhaps that could help
very helpful.
thank you.
You're welcome!
Ashley Green can this be tried for all hair types and even the gel you use?
Can you use a silk scarf?
Your hair is very pretty. But honestly I feel lucky to have straight hair, I couldn't spend so much time styling my hair lol. I wash my hair with ACV only is it doesnt get greasy at all. It works great for me!:)
+Miriam Benesch Thanks for sharing what works for you!
+AshleysGreenLife I have curly hair as it is
When I was younger, I did the blow dryer version of plopping. I would add product to my damp/wet hair, flip my head upside down and agitate the roots, then use a diffuser to blow dry my curls in, scrunching them up as I went. I know use Ouidad and twisting, or the plopping method (but I don't love it, as my hair holds too much moisture through the night.)
Very cool! :)
+Meg SmartieAndSteveo Thanks!
Thank gawd! I hate morning shower so it's good to know I can plop overnight!
Yay!
Thank you!
Welcome!
I'm trying it out now, I'll update if it works for me!
Good luck!
Wow this is great.But how long do you spend on doing your hair? When my hair was longer i curled it with a wavy hair iron than i braided it and went to sleep and i woke up with such pretty curls :D I can't wait to grow my hair back. Any tips to grow your hair fasteR? I cut it into a bob : (
+Stella Ilyayev I only spend about 10 minutes each day doing my hair (in the AM). If I wash it at night it takes me about 10 minutes to do it then to and wrap it in a plop. I don't know of anything to help hair grow faster...anyone have reccomendations?
Biotin and coconut oil masks
How often do you wash your hair? For my hair, I let it dry half way in a braid then let it air dry which gives me nice curls and waves the next day :)
+Kaylie S Great question, usually once every 2-3 days. Thanks for sharing how you get your curls!
+AshleysGreenLife What do you do on your no-wash days?
Hi Ashley, so how do you care for your curls on days you don't wash your hair?
Just twist them.
What about when you exercise ? Do you put your hair up? Does it ruin the curls? I wash my curly hair at night too so I usually exercise before bed
+midtheory232323 On most days I ditch the plop before my workout, but I workout first thing in the morning. It bugs me to wear it when I run/do yoga/etc. so I take it out, I figure it's had a good 6-7 hours of plopping so it's all good.
hi Ashley ..can you please share which gel you are using
+Ji Ja It's my flax seed hair gel, there's a link to it in the description box I believe. ( :
If you're not a fan of the wet, crunchy look of curls, can you use a curl cream on it wet? Does this work with shorter hair? Shoulder length?
I think you could try...not sure if it would work with shorter hair, worth a try to see if it would curl up.
I have wavy hair (2b) and I ALWAYS use curl gel when it’s sopping wet. I use the mop top curly hair custard and it works AMAZING
everytime I do this I wake up and the t-shirts not on my head 😂
Happens to me too.
What do you die your hair with and how often do you do it?
+kaleidoscopicmind5 I get traditional hair dye blonde highlights and my hair stylist is very careful not to touch my scalp with the dye. I've tried "green" hair color products before with not much luck. For me, getting highlights instead of bleaching all my hair is an improvement since I used to be totally blonde. ( : I'll keep you posted if I find any good hair color in the future that's more natural.
I just love your haaaair. ooooh
+Aleen Martinez Thanks! ( :
I tried to do it overnight and when I woke up the curls looked great.. ..but they were all up hanging on the side of my head! It looked a bit crazy-any suggestions?
Yes mine does this sometimes too, lol. I always style it one more time after waking up to give it more of a polished look as opposed to bed head like. ( :
I have herd that you can take a steamy shower to refresh the curls. That might loosen them up and make it less bedhead like.
But your roots look so flat.
well that was easy
Nice biceps
what's is the recipe for the flaxseed gel??
Here you go! ruclips.net/video/BWTG-1MS0LE/видео.html
does this help with frizz? I am trying to learn to embrace my really thick curly hair and trying to find products that work for me. and we are all about natural products! but I hate frizz
Hi Is that it natural curl? Also have you ever had you hair SOUR? I have because I used to put it up in a bun wet BAD idea, you have to Apple Cider Vinegar wash like crazy! My hair is about 10 inches longer then yours, I found Infusium leave in conditioner works to keep hair under control I use ALOT of it though.
+Sue Sue Interesting, I haven't had that happen before. Thanks for sharing what you use. ( :
My hair is straight, but I want it to be curly :(
I watched this hoping to get curly hair, but it just didn’t work
Give this a try instead: ruclips.net/video/FOx0uUaMuuI/видео.html
Does this work for natural hair? Not for natural curly hair?
Worth a shot
What does plop mean pls
will it work with short hair?
Not sure, anyone try this?
I have shoulder length hair if anyone wants to know.
Julie Peterson lots of curly/wavy haired girls plop and use flax seed gel. It works for lots of lengths!
Looks like doing a pineapple
+NDwhoelse a wash and go technically with gel, scrunching and a pineapple :)
Too much work involved.
It may seem that way when you don't know the technique but I'll take a few minutes of applying gel and wrapping it up instead of having to blow dry it and curl it with a curling iron. But to each their own.
it only looks difficult. It's actually pretty easy to do
Well for anyone who has "wavy" hair sure this could help them. For me as a curly haired person this didn't help I didn't gain anything from this video but thats besides the point what I'm trying to say is I'm not hating I'm stating out the obvious. There are a bunch more comments out there talking shit about her why did you feel the need to respond to mine?
Shanice Harris a lot of people with curlier hair than her still plop and use flax seed hair. And for curly people just starting out this video could be very helpful. Just because you know what works for you and maybe this doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's not useful. FYI wavy hair is curly hair, it's just a looser texture. It's definitely not helpful for anyone for you to be so rude in your comments.
Rachel Rheinecker There are three categories of curly hair one being wavey, kinky and of course curly hair. I don't see what's wrong with stating out the obvious clearly she has "wavey hair." I never said this wasn't going to work on anybody. What I really meant to say was this doesn't work on my type of hair. I don't see why people are going all off on me. This shouldn't even be happening, why can't people like you just let me post a comment and go.
Rachel Rheinecker Also what is with you and calling my comment rude? Stating out the obvious isn't rude unless you make it.
Shanice take a deep breath everything's gonna be alright
not even close to curly😂😂😭
Her hair is definitely curly. it's just not super curly at her roots. but if yu look at her ends they are super curly. they are literally little coils lol how can you think that's not curly 😂😂
Ruzzakaris Zee vh

There's a lot of types of curls in the world.. even wavy hair is a kind of curls... so maybe your hair is curly from the roots or you have very defined curls bit it doesn't mean that her hair isn't curly/wavy/whatever..
3b-3c aren't the only types of curls
Wavy not curly.
Shanice Harris why do you feel the need to point this out. How does it benefit anyone
You wish you had curly hair, yours is probably kinky Shanice lol
Cury, google wavy idiot
her spirals are too tight to be called waves imo
honey you are pretty but the hair is WAY to long . color is fine but shorten and find some type of style or cut. worse in later video about decluttering. meant to be helpful no hurtful:)
LOL, how would saying my hair looks "worse" be helpful in any way?
Her hair looks great! Idk what you are saying
I think she's recommending layers in her hair.
i missed the part where anyone asked your opinion
what are you talking abou? its not even that long
She wants her hair to be curly....
Hair gel is really bad for curly hair..your hair isn't curly but wavy btw
umm her hair is most definitely curly 😂 and it's flax seed gel so it's certainly not bad for you. it's completely natural, totally healthy and amazing for your hair lol
