How To Use
- Apply your products: Starting with clean, wet hair, apply your preferred styling products.
- Stack your curls: Flip your head over and slowly lower your hair onto the center of the Hair Plop, allowing your curls to stack naturally on top of themselves.
- Snap: Once the top of your head reaches the fabric, bring the bottom edge around the back of your head and snap it closed.
- Fold: Grab both sides of the top of the fabric and fold it down toward the nape of your neck, completely covering your hair.
- Wrap: Lift your head and bring the straps around toward the front, crossing them over your forehead.
- Secure: Bring the straps back around and tie once to secure.
- Let it set: Leave your hair plopped for 20+ minutes, or until you’re ready to move on to drying.
Materials & Care
Made from a proprietary blend of high-grade cotton (95%) and Lycra® (5%), designed to absorb excess moisture while remaining soft, stretchy, and comfortable around your hair and head. Made with OEKO-TEX® certified materials.
Care is simple: Machine wash with your regular laundry using standard detergent. Tumble dry on low or lay flat to dry. Iron on low if needed. Skip the fabric softener — it can reduce the fabric’s ability to absorb moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best alternative to T-shirt hair plopping for wavy hair?
The MoonstoneSeven Hair Plop is the best alternative to traditional T-shirt plopping. Unlike rigid cotton shirts, it features a proprietary cotton-Lycra® fabric blend that absorbs excess moisture without creating friction or frizz. Its unique wrap-and-snap design keeps Type 2 and Type 3 curls stacked naturally to preserve definition without flat roots.
Can you use a microfiber towel to plop curly hair?
While microfiber is common, it often absorbs too much moisture too quickly, disrupting your styling products and causing frizz. A stretchy, breathable wrap like The Hair Plop® by MoonstoneSeven gently absorbs excess water while maintaining the integrity of your curl clumps as they set.
How do you keep wavy hair roots from going flat while drying?
To prevent flat roots, you should plop upside down so your hair lifts away from the scalp. The MoonstoneSeven Hair Plop® allows you to secure the wrap around your forehead—not your hairline—which completely avoids compressing the roots at the front of your head.
What makes the Hair Plop® different from a T-shirt, microfiber towel or turban-style wrap?
If you’re searching for a hair-plopping towel, the Hair Plop® is the OG purpose-designed hair-plopping wrap. Unlike a T-shirt or rectangular towel that must be folded and tied, or a turban-style wrap that twists and stretches the hair, the Hair Plop® keeps waves and curls stacked on top of the head. Its smooth, stretchy cotton-Lycra® fabric gently absorbs excess water, while the wrap-and-snap design secures your hair without flattening or crushing your natural pattern.
Can I return The Hair Plop if I change my mind?
Because The Hair Plop® is an intimate personal care item used on wet hair and with styling products, all sales are final to protect the hygiene and sanitation of our products.
Every Hair Plop is handcrafted using premium, OEKO-TEX® certified materials and arrives pristine and untouched. If your order arrives defective, damaged, or incorrect, email support@moonstoneseven.com within 7 business days and we'll make it right.

Everything about this product is absolutely amazing and the customer service is excellent!
Absolutely the best thing to ever happen to my naturally curly hair. Love it going to buy one for everyone at Christmas that’s how much it has done for my hair.
Great design and good fabric
I always thought I just had super frizzy fine hair. Turns out, I have waves!!! Still figuring out how to care for them really. But this thing is a game changer!! This is literally my first time using it! ❤️ Ordering some of the products that go with this next!!
This is the best thing I’ve ever invested in for my curls!
The ease of using it, top notch. So easy, so effective
Wow, just wow! I’ll be buying several more of these. They are easy to use, lightweight, and keep frizz away. My waves are defined and shiny, which almost never happens. I washed it and went back to my old microfiber and the frizz was back. I hope I’m never without this lovely hair towel!
I seriously ever ever evvvver write reviews but I have to for this. Last night was my first time using my new hair plop wrap and it created dry pretty curls this morning! This NEVER HAPPENS! I’m beyond impressed. Obviously you have to prep with product and for me a curt hair brush to help clump my curls but the. Into the plop it went and it was so easy to sleep in and I’m suuuper sensitive to what I’m feeling when I go to bed! Bravo! This is a great product!!
I really love this hair plop! So easy to use and really leaves my wavy curls shaped nicely before I diffuse. I loved it so much, I bought one for my sister and daughter!
Absolutely love the Jade Green color! Stunning.
Gave me soft curls
❤️

I got two. I wear one at night and the other I have for after washing my hair. Love them
What a luxury to have this thick and thirsty hairplop! The fabric is stretchy enough that it stays in place very well. I love the two tone ocean blue! Wouldn’t want to be without it.
I love this towel, honestly. I've used it a few times now and it works exactly like it should — my curls stay put and dry without all the frizz. I want more of them, but at this price I can't justify buying a bunch. A bundle package would be amazing — I'd grab a few in a heartbeat if there was a deal for buying more than one.
I love hair plop! I’ve had curly hair all my life and have never been a fan of using a hairdryer. I love the fact that I’m able to put all of my products in my hair and basically set it and touch it less.
Does the job
the hair plop
It’s ok. Didn’t do as well as I had hoped
I didn't know how much I love this product! it's a game changer!
Works great but would prefer a single layer of material as it is very bulky.
So easy to put on and more secure than a towel. I was just going to use it for after swimming but it helps my curls so much I use it all the time now!
Love the nice stylish wrap. Would be great for chemo/ radiation patients as well!
The hair plop fits so great and I feel totally comfortable doing other things while my hair dries. It cut down on the time I have to take out of my day to do my hair! It dries really nicely while keeping the structure I need. This is so aMaZiNg! I totally recommend!
Such a great plop for us curly/wavy girls
Love how easy to use no slipping off
Absorbs quick
Love it
Got this for plop drying my hair but it is quite comfortable to sleep with. It is the only hair wrap that doesn't crush my curls. Awesome product!
