Q&A for How to Plop Your Hair

Yes, although it will not turn wavy hair to curls. It helps emphasize what wave or curl you already have.

If you don't want to add any products, you don't have to.

It will, but the results will vary depending on the hair type. For example, girls with thicker hair might end up having more defined curls/waves than girls with thinner hair.

Typically curls respond best to satin or silk wraps (for the plop method or just protection). Other materials absorb the moisture from hair which is essential for curls. You can try twisting your strands a bit before tucking them away for more springy curls.

Put some anti frizz in if you have any or just use lotion. You can use baby lotion because it keeps hair soft and non frizzy.

Maybe try redoing it or something else, like, if you're going to work, do the style before you leave or the night before.

No, this will not work for straight hair because the main goal of plopping is to define already existing curls. Plopping also helps if you have product in your hair, which most straight-haired people do not use after the shower. If you have straight hair you can still use a microfiber towel as it reduces frizz, but plopping won't make much of a difference.
