I'm usually a roller-set and wrapper, but for the past 2 weeks I've been co-washing at least 3 times a week, and setting on the weekends.
I co-wash and let my hair dry wrapped in a towel for a few minutes with my leave-in. Then, I unwrap the towel, add my moisturizer and oil, and let it finish air-drying with my hair loose, just hanging down, to about 85% dry.
I find that my hair dries pretty straight if I comb it once or twice while it's loose. I only lose 2 or 3 hairs in the comb during this entire process because my hair is usually tangle-free at this point (I detangle in the shower and my hair isn't that thick).
Finally, I bun, whole head baggy, and go to bed. The whole process from the co-wash to the bunning is only about 30 minutes. Since my "bun" is actually closer to a bantu knot/pincurl, I finger comb my hair into a ponytail in the morning and wear a wavy, high pony. It's not quite protective, but since my hair is shortish and the ponytail is so high, my ends aren't rubbing on my clothes.
So far, my hair is really loving this regimen and it's loads less manipulation than roller-setting. Also I'm not combing my hair throughout the day.
