It's actually a combination of a lot of methods, but it really worked for me, so I thought I'd tell everyone about it

1. Co-wash and rinse. Apply your rinse-out to hair and comb to get rid of tangles. Rinse about 70% of your conditioner out (or rinse all of it and apply a leave-in)

2. Flip your head over and comb to separate hair. Cup your hands and fill with water. Splash your hair and scrunch gently. Gently scrunch your hair gel/styler into your hair.
(Super soaker method ^)

3. Flip your head back up and take a few clips. Do a cross clip by taking small sections of your hair from either side of your part, criss-cross them, and clip it. This helps with volume at the roots so it doesn't look flat. Here are examples of pictures Curly Clipping | Young Ladies Christian Fellowship.

4. Flip your hair over again (sorry, lots of flipping) and, using a long-sleeved shirt, put it into a plop. Leave it in a plop for 15 minutes, then take out the clips. When the clips are out, you can plop again for as long as you want or just let it airdry.

This gave me great results! Basically, it's the Super Soaker and then plopping with criss-crossed clips.

Thank you for reading

I have definitely got to try the super soaker. Thanks for posting. I am finding out that how you put stuff in your hair is as important as what you put in it.

Hair: 2a or 3a (not sure), very porous and fine as frog hair
Day 1: Cowash and condition with AO GPB, ACV Rinse,
Co-Kra gel (this stuff is fantastic)
Day 2: KCKT, KCCC, plop, KCCC, plop again, air dry
Day 3: Curly Kinks Satin Roots, Coil Jam
Day 4: IAGirl's PT, KBB DT, FSG

Co-Kra gel is my own concoction of okra boiled in coconut milk. It is a cross between FSG and KCCC and leaves my hair very soft and shiny

Does this method fix the weird out of place curl effect when you plop? I love most of the results when I plop but sometimes the upside down drying makes the top section just funky looking, or as another poster described "wings" that just do not fall right.

Mirabella, the clipping really helps my crown not get all weird. Also, if my curls still look a bit odd, I take my hair out of the plop and flip it up and down a few times to make them more normal.
