  intro: "The finish is where curly hair routines succeed or collapse. Washing and conditioning handle the chemistry. Plopping and sealing handle the physics — water weight distribution, cast formation, and cuticle closure. People skip these steps because they look optional. They're not. Plopping alone can reduce diffuse time by a third. Sealing prevents the morning frizz that undoes every other step. Both techniques take under five minutes and neither requires any extra product.",

    body: "Curly finishing is the set of steps performed after product application and before drying — the window between soaking-wet hair and the first touch of heat or air. It covers how water is removed, how the curl pattern is encouraged to clump, and how the cuticle is closed to hold that shape. Do it right and the drying phase is clean up, not catch-up.",

  myths: [
    { m: "Plopping is only for tight curls.",
