Thanks for the welcome,

As for my regimen:
Cleanse -- If time permits I do a quick clay wash w/Terressentials Mud Wash until I'm back to mixing my own. I work the clay thru until I feel definition. If I don't have time for clay, I just co-wash.
Condition -- I always apply conditioner after clay. I'd been using DevaCurl One Condition for a while, but I'm back to KCKT. Again, I work the product thru until I feel definition. I don't rinse all of it out. This morning I warmed the KCKT, and the definition was great.
Style -- I'll either use DevaCurl's Styling Cream or Light Defining Gel, or KCCC. I try to squeeze as much excess water out after I apply the styler. Otherwise I'm at work with wet hair.
I still don't work in sections, but it is always on my to-do list. My hair is short (less than 6 inches) but thick and really dense in the back, and I'm just not ready to tackle it. I won't be able to get away w/this much longer, though.
