I rarely DC because I co-wash so often. I also baggy at night. I use to DC at the beginning of my HHJ but thats because I was trying to fight off the years of damage I caused my hair. Now that my hair is healthy DC are not really a factor for me anymore.
Before I BC'd I deep conditioned every single time because of all the damage. But now I only DC maybe once a month. I cowash at least twice a week and rotate between a moisture and protein cowash. And I also rotate my DC's the same way.
I only DC when I co-cleanse or clarify so about 1x a week, but I co-wash much more frequently. After getting through my DC stash, I will only DC/steam when I clarify and/or do a henna treatment. I don't think I need to DC so often. There really doesn't seem to be a difference to my hair between DC/steaming for >30 mins and conditioner and a heating cap for 5 or so minutes in the shower.
DC every time I either wash or cowash. I must. That equates to 2 - 3 times per week. Sometimes its on dry hair, and sometimes on wet hair - either way, it's several times per week at a minimum.
DC with every wash which is 1x a week or every 5-7 days. I fell off my last semester and was DCing every 2 weeks. No bueno! My hair is really fine and doesn't like wet manipulation so I have never been able to fit cowashes in.
