I\'m trying to find a balance between...

maintaining healthy ends and not manipulating too much. I am wearing a phonytail and my hair is only about 5 to 7 inches long. I have been oiling my ends every other night. Therefore, I am parting, combing and oiling. Is this too much manipulation. Those with phonytails, do you take them down each night? Please help.

Sometimes, I leave my hair up for a few days, but most nights I take it loose and rinse my hair and scalp in the shower. I just try to be EXTRA gentle with my hair, and I moisturize my ends to death. I've been retaining length, so I'm not worried about it. If you can tell your hair is growing and you don't lose much hair when styling, don't worry about it.
