Dry your curly, frizzy, wavy hair... while protecting your hair fiber? Define your curls quickly using a 100% natural technique? Plopping is the ideal solution for dreamy, healthy hair! ✨
A NATURAL TECHNIQUE
This technique helps protect textured hair during drying, just after the washing routine. It limits the friction of the hair against the towel, but also the friction of the hair between them. In a short time, the curls are reformed and reboosted, all without the slightest damage to your hair.
You can apply your styling products before if you opt for complete drying for several hours, or apply them after a few minutes of plopping then dry your hair in the open air or with a diffuser.
HOW TO DO PLOPPING?
STEP 1: WASH, WRITE, DETANGLE
After your shampoo , conditioner, mask or treatment , lightly squeeze your hair and detangle it with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb.
STEP 2: REFORM YOUR CURLS
With your head forward, lightly “scrunch” your hair in your hands to help your curls reform. You can also apply a leave-in cream or jelly treatment to protect your hair and limit dehydration.
Need more details? This involves putting the amount of product you need in your hands based on your hair mass and then working your way up from the ends, squeezing your hair. Perform this movement on hair that is still very damp to maintain maximum hydration while facilitating the penetration of the product.
STEP 3: PLOPPING
We now arrive at the plopping stage 🎉.
Take a cotton or microfiber towel (or a large cotton t-shirt) and lay it flat on a flat surface. With your head down, gently place your hair in one piece in the center of the towel. The idea is to bend over and gently lower your head until your scalp almost touches the towel: this will form your curls and restore them to their natural shape.
Next, twist the towel, then pull it over the back of your head.
STEP 4: DRY YOUR CURLY HAIR
Leave the towel in place for 30 minutes to several hours depending on how much pre-drying you want to achieve. Your hair will come out dry or pre-dried, soft and defined!
If you want to speed up your drying routine, you can even use a diffuser and dry through the fabric.
THE REVERSIBLE TOWEL
At Trinquette we were tired of cotton t-shirts for plopping, we wanted a practical, multi-use and pretty accessory (we're not doing it again 😂)... So we created it!
Reversible, our pretty hair towel will allow you to gently absorb maximum moisture (thanks to one side in organic terry cotton), but also to do plopping thanks to one side in OEKO-TEX cotton jersey.
An ingenious and super practical hair towel. Once tightened on the head, all you have to do is hold it in place using its clip. Perfect for preserving and enhancing your hair , which will therefore be less damaged by the heat of the hair dryer!
