Plopping during DT's

Just discovered this! On a whim I decided to throw some protein in my hair, let it sit for 5 mins, and then I just squeezed the excess out and put a DT over it. Then I scrunched in some clumps and curls, and plopped into a bag, and covered that with a winter cap. (a towel would do, too.). I left it on for an hour or so, though you could do longer.
I rinsed my hair gently, re-clumped and scrunched, and WOW!!! Curls a plenty!!!!
I'm pretty excited! Anyone else ever tried this??
I'm also considering and over-night plop with no gel, just to see how my curls react!

I used GFTN with some CNPF added in. Then a squeezed most of that put and put the DT right over it. (For the DT i used SM masque mixed with GVPCB, honey, and a little EVOO.) Then scrunch and plop, rinsed while holding the curls in with my hands, then re-scrunched and styled as usual!
But I really think the plopping with the DT in made a difference! Let me know if you try it!

Do you ever plop? I plop after applying stylers and such every time I shower. This was the first time I tried it in a DT. I normally just pile it on my head or wrap it into a bun then put a bag over it. I think I will continue plopping during DT's - it really seemed to give me good results!

I love plopping. I find it has helped "train" the curl pattern to be more defined in general. (just as straightening or pulling it back tightly a lot used to train the curl pattern OUT of my hair.)
I wonder if plopping with protein does anything? If repairing those protein bonds while held in the curl does anything different? Idk.
Either way I had good results! Looking forward to trying it again to see if it's consistent!
