That's right. I've been at this for a year and a half now, and I still can't clip well enough to save my life.
I've tried everything. From the square metal clips, to the rounded long clips, to jaw clips, to duckbill clips.
I've tried methods by shellynot, Del, struttswife; you name it, I've failed at it.
Right now I'm using duckbill clips I bought from curlmart. When I finish diffusing, I use two clips on my crown and one on each side in the front. It's sort of a mix between shellynot's and struttswife's methods. If I don't take them out early enough, I end up with weird dents and weird curls.
Oh, and always MAJOR FLAT TOP!
It sucks.
What is your curly downfall?

same as you, no root curl -_- i can't figure out clipping either!
My problem is that I need to diffuse first in order to keep curls, and I guess that means sacrificing volume. I'm thinking about trying this method next:

As you know I am a fellow flat topper and also clip challenged. I rarely even try to clip.
Don't feel bad Jenn. I don't even know if I have a system for clipping I'm always changing it! Sometimes I use the metal, butterfly, big ones, little ones. I have to say that I've been clipping for over 2yrs and STILL don't have it down pat. Sometimes it just comes out weird and I have to re-part it, spray gel it, re-diffuse that area. It's a pain.....I do find that the longer my hair is the harder it is to clip too so I have to change what I do as it grows..UGH
