I'm finding it very hard to find any natural 4b hair enthusiast that do not protective style on the regular. Are there any 4b's out there that do not wear weaves, braids, or twist on the regular basis as a means to protective style and still retain length? If, so how long is your hair, and what's your regimen? Have you noticed any pit falls or adverse effects from not constantly PS?
I've been doing a low-manipulation regimen with my 4b hair, which pretty much means I wash/DC weekly, twist to air dry, within 24-48 hours I undo twist and style. Nightly I m/s pineapple and Baggie the ends, daily I wear primarily puffs and buns. I do not retwist my hair until wash day and I only use my fingers to style. So far everything is ok, but I'm feeling like I'm in uncharted territories because I can't find anyone else w my hair type and similar reggie.
