Plopping!

No! It’s not a dirty, bad word. It’s not your toddler calling from the public cubicle in a supermarket toilet as they do it!

It’s a term used by curly girls and guys to preserve curls and accelerate drying time without using tortuous heat devices. I have tried it once before with a tee shirt but didn’t really see or feel any benefit. I put it down to inexperience and would try again at later date.

Today is that later date!

I’m plopping!!

I plan on going out in a bit, so thought I’ll have a cup of tea and a plop for 10 minutes to see if I can dry this head of curls a little quicker. I think it has but I’m an hour and half from washing and still not vaguely dry!

Here’s a little illustration of the process of plopping!

I go back to work on Monday. I need to find a drying routine that works for me. Particularly when winter hits with its cold, wet weather.

Post plop. Awesome curls day!
