Exactly what it is, tools to "enhance" the texture that you have to oomph it up a notch, or two.

We always talk about "hairtyping pictures" and that you need to NOT enhance what you got. Let's talk about creating a place where that IS allowed! And please DO share your secrets!

I was about to wash my hair yesterday evening, and quarter past 7PM, guess what, I got packages delivered to me. Among it my plopping hat. Just in time!

You guys! It's made out of a white mesh, but the mesh is not flimsy at all. So, I got to test it out and man, it is very nice, to say the least; I love it. Now I have me some plopping hats and they all work, but this little tool is ingenious and it hardly gets wet. Also, thanks to the little holes, it actually helps your hair dry a tad faster. Just a tad, of course, but hey all tiny bits help!

It looks like this, and so far, this... kinda is... my dirty little secret. :lol: :tongue:

With long hair of course, unscrunched (you need to scrunch it together up top after putting it on), your hair hangs out the other end. So you turn rightside up and tuck it in, just the effect of standing upright will help. And then you fasten the little tie up top. And the cool thing is, at least IMO, that you can make it as tight or as loose as you want.

Yep, I am putting my fluffy plopping hats to the side for now and really getting comfy with this little gadget!

Cool, I did not know about these! I avoid Temu and the like, like the plaque (not criticizing those who like it each to their own), so I looked elsewhere.

After some searching I even found a crochet pattern of a plopping cap, this looks really cute and comfy!:

I got one of those "Unbrush"s and I actually love it for styling. It makes defining my curls SO easy. I really do the minimum to my hair as far as styling, just detangling and brush through with the Unbrush, a little mousse and a little gel, then airdry. After it's completely dry, I scrunch out the cast so it isn't crunchy.
