How to plop or plunk your hair. It's convenient for putting up wet, wavy or curly hair.

I used a Curlease towel from curlease.com and a hair tie to secure the "sausage rolls" together at the back of my head in this vid.

  • The me nose job - ugh. Could you redo this video? You could probably had cut the chitchat and shown the meat of the matter in about one minute.

  • @daphneavenging There is an annotated link to the updated video in the bottom left hand corner for the ENTIRE VIDEO. And It's posted as a video response.

  • @madarijussalikeen yea shampooing daily is too drying for curly hair. Twice or once a week is better. You can also not shampoo at all. Check out the curly girl method.

  • Suggest you redo the video when your nose isn't itchy. No offense, but that's a real turnoff.

  • @knitjunky This video HAS been redone. Check the description for a link to the new one.

  • Iis is SO true about terry cloth towels. They are NOT curly hair friendly. Use a true MICROFIBER towel!

  • Is it ok to sleep in this?

  • Good job! Thank you for doing this, I read how to do it online but you helped a lot, I needed a visual aid :)

  • I'm to stupid to take this towel around my head .__.

  • Plopping? I call this wrapping a t-shirt around your head.

  • Thank you so very much for your video's: you saved my backpacking holiday to Thailand this summer !!!!!!!

  • I am going to try this on my daughter today, her hair is crazy.

  • Hi Sarah, do you wash your hair on a daily basis? I was told to avoid that as it damages curly hair. How true is this?
