I really think this is making such a difference in my clumps forming. I usually don't get big or even medium clumps. I get small ones. I would look at the pics of the wavies on here and long for the clumps they were getting. After a while I just figured it wasn't what my hair was going to do so I let it go. Then I saw the thread and after Icequeen posted I figured I'd pull my Deva out of the cabinet and give it a go. My hair looked GREAT and I had CLUMPS. So the next day I figured I'd try it with my other condish and products to see if it was just the Deva. Again my hair did the same thing...great clumps. And yesterday I did it again with some samples I got from KathyMack (I actually had 2nd day hair for once but couldn't wait to try new stuff

) and again I had good results. I really think this is making a huge difference and I wanted to make sure that all you who don't use Deva at least had a chance to try it. BTW if I'm not mistaken, this is how Lorraine Massey herself conditioned Icequeen's hair at a curly event a few years ago.

There are more in my Fotki if you want to check them out. And TRY THIS! Thanks again Icequeen!

Sorry to be thick but we don't get this product in the UK as far as I'm aware, what actually is it?

can you give an idea of something similar that may work- normal condish, leave in condish, deep treatment condish? do I assume that you don't wash the small amount out?

Thanks

Devacurl gives me great clumps with or without the technique but all my conditioners work better using the technique. Just try it with your normal conditioner and hopefully you will see a difference.

I don't wash the small amt. of leave-in out.

Good luck and let us know if it works for you.
