The How To Be Sound podcast.
With host Rosemary McCabe, who writes:
What’s it like growing up with curly hair, in a sea of ghds? In the latest episode of How to be Sound, I chat to ‘Curly Cailin’ Gabriella Strano (top) about her curly journey, the ‘Curly Girl’ method, puff cuffs, buffs, pineapples and wet plopping.
Alternatively a steam iron at high heat.

Jebus H Christ. Such narcissism.
Well I listened to a podcast about Trevor Sorbie at the weekend. Very interesting. Hair is important to people.
Desert Island Discs?
Yeah! I love it. I now love Lauren Laverne too. Ah hope you do do. I love the way she says I. LOVE LOVE LOVE! *defenestrates self*
I’ve loved Lauren since the Kenickie days, once I luv ya it’s hard to get rid of me.
Wet plopping!! we’re reduced to discussing wet plopping?
Lovely hair in fairness, like a young Carles Puyol.
Hey! I didn’t have to go to Google to check what you meant. I’m so soccer.
Go soccerball!
What in God’s name is this about? I barely understood the text under the image. A woman talks about her curly hair? Wet plopping? Ugh
Plopping is drying one’s hair with a t-shirt instead of a towel, carefully lowering it down and wrapping it gently. It prevents curly hair drying out too soon.
Is that what it’s called? I have done that. Makes a LOVELY curl, I must say. They should come up with a nicer description for it.
I think it comes from the US, where they may not have such filthy dirty minds as us. (Plonking is slightly better methinks.) I don’t own any big t-shirts so I put mine in a normal towel for five minutes then check there is no drips and leave it to dry. Takes a long time but fully worth it.
Do you have red hair?
* innocent face *
I’M SORRY WHAT IS THIS???????
Drat, rumbled!!!
Bertie, I sorely wish I did. Though if I were a ginger, I probably wouldn’t have the grá for a hot redhead fella of an evening
I even went to a special curly hair hairdressers in NYC once. Jaykers. I was like yer wan in the photo up top. Amazing.
Thanks for the tip Andy.
I had forgotten where I went in NY. It’s called Devachan. They developed a special shampoo called, wait for it, no-poo. They dried my hair with special towels that were like t-shirts.
I bought the shampoo. It was tremendous. Then totally forgot about it til now! It’s not cheap but might be worth a go. Not sure if they ship, though, as I brought it home with me.
Jesus
my hair still thinks it’s 1987
The great thing is tho’
When you’ve mad hair
