I wear mine loose every day, but I PS at night. I had been doing two-strand twists, but recently switched to Bantu knots as suggested in the Shea Butter thread. I am experiencing fewer ssk's as a result. I co-wash every 4 or 5 days, LOC, then go to bed. If my hair is dry in the morning, great. If not 100 percent, I accept the shrinkage, and keep it moving.
