So yeah, I tried it today. Left me with big clumps prior to diffusing. Shoulda taken pics, I know, but the end result was just meh because I used my Hot Sock today for the first time and it wrecked my clumps.
My only hestitation about this method is that when you're rewetting at the sink, I felt like it was washing out my LI and curl creme. Yes, I was scrunching up (it's not like I poured water over my head), but still I felt like some product must have been coming off with the water dripping from my hair. I used CJ CCCC today and I shudder to think it may have run down the drain eeeek! What are your thoughts?

IMO, a Hot Sock is only slightly better than no diffuser at all. I only use mine in a pinch when traveling - never if I have any other sort of diffuser available . . . .

Also, IMO, soaking wet hair, regardless of how I achieved it (right out of the shower or adding some back in from the faucet or by spraying), has always worked best for me, especially on first day. If I do it on first day, I can usually get good enough succeeding days without having to wet it so much - which saves me a lot of time on those days.
