Plopping? Roping? SOTC?
Show More Plopping? Roping? SOTC?
There are a TON of different terms and phrases when it comes to the Curly Girl Method (cgm for short), and to be quite honest it feels entirely overwhelming when you first learn about it. I wanted to create a one-stop shop for anyone who may feel a bit lost and on overload, so that if you see someone referring to any of these terms, you know exactly what they're talking about!

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING and sticking through TWO ADS I know its annoying but I really appreciate you more than you know!!

TERMS I FORGOT:
RAKING: When you run your fingers through your hair to get out tangles (When hair is wet and full of conditioner) OR to apply products in when adding styling products.
GEL CAST: As your hair dries, the Gel you use will create a hard outer layer called a gel cast. This is what you scrunch out with "Scrunch out the Crunch" :)
