My ‘plop’ hack sculpts my curls overnight – all you need are a T-shirt and a hair tie, your locks will look fabulous
A CURLY-HAIRED woman has shared the technique that sculpts her locks overnight.
The easy and free hack only required a T-shirt and hair tie.
Amanda (@amandapongallo) shared the hair tip in a viral TikTok video.
She explained that the “plop” technique helped her retain her curls with minimum work.
Amanda advised viewers to start with “soaking wet” hair, fresh out of the shower.
With her hair dripping, she loaded it up with her styling products of choice.
She explained that the styling products were critical to achieving smooth hair.
“Would it still work if you don’t have styling products?” asked one viewer.
“Your hair would probably just be super frizzy,” Amanda replied.
She placed a dry T-shirt flat on the edge of her bed.
Amanda flipped all her hair upside down, gathering all the strands in a bundle in her hands.
She dipped her head slowly on the T-shirt, gently plopping her hair on the shirt fabric, and immediately began wrapping up her hair with the edge of the shirt.
Amanda gathered each corner of the shirt into a bun on top of her head and wrapped it together with a hair tie.
“You just go to sleep just like this,” she said.
“Then you’ll have fabulous curls in the morning.”
Viewers thanked her for sharing the straightforward and effective technique.
You want to do this when your hair is soaking wet.

“This is the best method I’ve seen,” said one commenter.
“Cannot wait to try this as a curly-haired woman. Thank you!” said another.
“Thank you! I just spent the last few minutes struggling and decided to ask TikTok,” said a third.
For those who struggled with the hack, Amanda shared a tip that made the technique easier.
“Omg thank you, I tried this so many times and failed lol,” lamented one commenter.
“I have a ton of hair though so hopefully it still works.”
Amanda revealed a simple trick that made it easier for those with lots of hair.
“You can just get a larger T-shirt!” she said.
