i do use vaseline and have for a couple of years. after i wash, condition and moisturize my hair, i put vaseline just on my ends. at that time, my hair is wet. by the time i get home, most of my hair is dry, but the hair in the baggie is of course still wet. so i take the baggie off and let my hair finish air drying. after i put the baggie back on, i leave my hair alone until i wash it again, which is usually a week later. if i have to take it down to resmooth my edges, i don't comb my hair. i just smooth my edges and put it back on.
the point of the baggie for me is to be able to leave my hair alone COMPLETELY while keeping it moisturized. the reason that i like the vaseline is that it's heavy enough to seal in the moisture for a week.
if you plan to take it down and comb your hair every day, i don't recommend the vaseline because it does make the hair more difficult to comb. if you must, it would probably be best to just use the baggie at night with a light oil...

It seems like adrienne doesn't reapply vaseline and all that stuff everyday. so maybe people can still do it wet, but apply the products once. Later in the day let the hair out and air dry. rebaggie only. Leave hair alone.
It seems like that's what makes the difference. Maybe too much reapplying mositurizer weakens the hair or products weigh down on the shaft. If you seal your hair in with vaseline or another oil, it should stay mositurized for a while.
When it starts to feel dry, wash you hair. or Simply redo the method every wash day.
Just a suggestion. I'm to try this and see how it works for me.
