Reddit reviews Diane Double Prong Clips 80 Clips, Silver, Pack of 80 (D17)

I use about 5 pumps of gel, and I use clips like these to add extra volume when I diffuse! They really help control the curl and add some volume, especially on the front pieces.

I don't have advice on how to make it work because I have the exact same issue with plopping BUT last time I got my hair cut I asked my hairdresser what I could do to give my curls some more volume around the top of my head and she suggested getting clips like these and inserting them around the crown of my head with the tips pointing toward the top of my head. It holds the roots up while my curls set and then I can just pull them out whenever I want and I have the volume I am looking for. It doesn't in any way solve the problem of not being able to plop my curls so I've just lived without that but they hold up alright anyway. Sorry I can't help with your actual problem! Hope this helps someone at least!

Clip the hair on either side of the separation together when it's wet, then either air dry or blow-dry. I use these

ok, high porosity makes sense if it's color treated. So, I use either the Hask Keratin protein mask or the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Mafura Oil deep conditioners, and both of them work really well. In fact, I was having issues just last week because I had moved climates and my hair was getting REALLY dry... so I did an extra-long treatment with the Shea Moisture one (left it in for about 45 minutes) and my hair is MUCH better again. Now, I don't recommend doing that, it risks protein overload, but a good 20 minute treatment might be what you need.


I have to do a mask about once a week to keep mine looking good.


Personally I just use some little butterfly clips that I had lying around, but these ones are the actual recommended style: https://www.amazon.ca/Diane-Double-Prong-Clips-Count/dp/B00143WQI6/ref=pd_cp_194_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00143WQI6&pd_rd_r=b003856c-baf3-11e8-a904-6bfe9a9fef2d&pd_rd_w=Wx9zp&pd_rd_wg=CEFcc&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_p=95448740-5917-4df8-bb6a-086a0d0bb079&pf_rd_r=0ZCG00FMHRGEFESYRHZR&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=0ZCG00FMHRGEFESYRHZR

Also for volume, have you tried clipping your roots? these or something like it are helpful. Sometimes when I’m in a rush I’ll clip my roots, blow dry said roots, then drive to work and when I park I’ll take the clips out & SOTC. Good luck!

I found them here five dollars for 80 as compared to only 8 deva clips for $17

I just use these regular clips. There are all kinds of variations. The dollar store is a great place to pick up a bunch of different types so you can experiment and see what you like. I’ve also used these type of clips as well.

Plopping, clipping (can use any type of duckbill clip), mousse/root lifter, etc.
