Hey there!
Good luck with your pineapple! I tried it once when my hair was pretty wet (mistake!!) and it didn't go so well as my curls were smashed:dontknow:
but, when I tried it with my hair not that wet bout 90% dry and it was great! it's kinda something you have to experiment with... and remember!! Don't worry be curly!:wav:

How do you pineapple? I've heard a lot of people use the term, but can't find the exact definition. Thanks!

dont worry be curly!

well the pineapple doesn't do much for me either! haha but if you wanna try zcurlygirl you take a loose thick scrunchy put all your hair on top of your head and wrap it into a bun and put the scrunchy around it. good luck:salut:

i actually like to pinapple a lot. if i tie a scarf around my head my curls get smashed, and if i wear them down, they get frizzy. but when i do pinapple... even if the sides get a little frizzy while i toss and turn, the top stays the same and i just style the top of my hair over the messed up part.

just dont pull the hair too tight in the scrunchie or your curls will be pulled straight on the top and sides

shawneebecool

ive come to the conclusion that pineappling isnt for me. it just makes my head hurt ALOT and my hair just looks weird in when i take it off. NEXT, lol.

I AM IN LOVE WITH PINAPPLING!!!!!! I love it because it doesn't smoosh my curls when I sleep, and it's really easy. I just put a sorta loose ponytail on the top of my head with a SCRUNCHIE. You have to use a scrunchie, or it will end up all weird. It also balances out my volume, so I get less volume at my ends and more at my roots. :happy7::happy7::happy7:

shawneebecool

omggg, disregard my post above. thats not pineappling, i meant.. crap i forgot the name. but when you use a shirt and wrap it around your head. yeah, not pineappling lol.

I've heard a lot of good things about plopping (the thing where you wrap the t-shirt around your head right?). A friend of mines does it every night before bed and her hair comes out great! Good for the whole 'second day hair' problem a lot of curlies have...

shawneebecool

thats it ! plopping. plopped for my hair is .. eh.
pineappling is okay though.

carlyisapirate

I love doing the pineapple while I sleep. I try to put it as far up as possible though. I love how it makes my hair non frizzy when I wake up

zcurlygirl

I'm going to try pineappling tonight. Thanks for the responses! :happy7:

j-jill.

I haven't exactly tried it yet. I'm going to try it out tonight though, and I'll see if it works out or not.

shawneebecool

let me know how this goes everyone

I like plopping a lot. I use my curlease towel every day.

Anyways, I have recently discovered a way to pineapple longer curly hair! I always used to hate it, because the curls flopped in my face. I am using the first method explained here (this is not my blog):
http://collegecurly.blogspot.com/2009/02/modified-pineapple.html

Basically you still put your hair up in a high pony tail with a scrunchie, but you use large jaw clips to secure the pony to the top of your head.

It's really comfy and this might help others that are not liking pineappling. :bom:


This is what I look like when I pineapple. hahaha, jk

zcurlygirl

Wow! Pineappling really works for me. My hair has to be wet, though, because I like to pineapple overnight. That way, my curls don't get as frizzy and smooshed. I think my hairtype is 3a? But I don't really know, I'm still waiting for replies on my post on the 3a forum...

Everytime I take a shower at night I pineapple. If I don't, I end up with really bad frizz. It shouldn't feel uncomfortable if you tie the scrunchy loosely.

Plopping, is a whole different story. My hair hates plopping.

I tried it last night, using the "The Modified Pineapple" method here: http://collegecurly.blogspot.com/2009/02/modified-pineapple.html

When I took my hair out in the morning I had tons of volume! (Which is a good thing, I guess ) I just had a bit of frizz, and my curls where still there, but they where just "different" from when I went to bed. So I guess this method works okay for me, it's better than just sleeping on my hair and waking up with a frizzing mess.

j-jill.

I've tried it, and it really makes an improvement!
If i come out of the shower, i'll pineapple. makes it look really nice in the morning.

How do you plop all night? I would think it would be very uncomfortable.

I agree. I can only pineapple all night. On the couple times I tried plopping it ended up falling off. I think it might work better if I had had a sleep bonnet or something.

Neways, since the last time I posted on this thread I have made a youtube video about pineappling! HTH for those that are confused:

Sorry to waste your time but how exactly DO you pineapple?

Pineappling is where you take all your curls and put them in a loose pony tail with a SCRUNCHIE (has to be a scrunchie) on top of your head and sleep on it.

EarthyCurls

i pineapple. i learned to use a hair tie with the fabric because it doent leave a funny line in my hair and to keep it loose so it can curl, but be pulled tight and straight.

thickcurlygurly

Try plunking or ploping as an alternative to pineappling the first time i tried i was amazed with the results search plunking hair on utube for a demonstration. Im gonna do it again tonite cuz i got tonz of compliments and my friends asked me y i didnt wear it like that again today :happy3::happy3::happy3:
