Hi, levette.
I wear my hair in a twist or sloppy bun most every day, or a ponytail. While there is some hair exposed, and thus not a true protective style, I wear my hair up most days. When I attend church, or some other special event, I will wear my hair down, which is about once a week. It's just easier for me as a busy teacher to keep my hair neatly styled such a way so that I don't have to worry about how my hair is looking.
