Daily Co-Washing vs. Weekly Rollersetting

[ChristmasCarol]

How are you ladies co-washing in the wimter and not getting sick. I tried it at night and I still wake up stuffy. Spill

I cowash 4-5x/wk and it is already cold here in Ohio, so I use a hairdryer on cold to dry it. You can also use a table fan - yeah, the kind you use in the summer. It dries my hair quickly and I don't have to worry about heat!

It's a tie for now. Wow! I would not have expected this?!?!

Weekly Roller sets. Daily cowashing is too much manipulation for my delicate strands.

I wake up fairly early before I have to go to work so my hair always has time to dry before I walk out the door, and it dries pretty fast.

I benefit more from weekly rollersetting...I tried co-washing, but it doesn't work for me.

I've done both, and my hair NEVER thrived when I was wash-n-going daily...never grew past shoulder length.

My fine, 4a/3c hair loves to be stretched out (without heat)...it's easier to keep moisturized and it prevents tangling, splitting, single strand knots, and breakage. I do weekly sets (Twist-n-Curl, flexi, bantu knot outs, etc). It's the only way to retain length for me

Since my hair isn't even close to straight, trying to rollerset would be hazardous for its health My hair likes frequent cowashing, but I only detangle every four days or so. I can't go longer or the shed hair will knot and tangle.

UPDATE: Since I've relaxed my hair straighter, daily cowashing no longer benefits me. I rollerset weekly now.
