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.

I do low manipulation instead of protective styling. I wash/style once a week and don't comb or brush my hair between washes. I just tie my edges down and wear a bonnet at night. My go to styles are twist outs, braid outs, and wash and gos.

I wash and go 99% of the time. I wash once a week and re-wet and apply gel and conditioner throughout the week as needed.

My daughter wants to wear a puff. I am washing weekly. Moisturizing often. And she sleeps in a bonnet. I also occaasionally do protein treaments. I am thinking of dc'ing once a week also.

How often do you dc?

How often do you dc?

I try to do it at least once a month but I miss it a lot of the time.

@FoxxyLocs yes we need to put it in puffs and only comb every 3 or 4 days.

 

[Prettyeyes]

@Coilystep I think dc'ing is important! Are you retaining length?

@MarieB I have been reminding her to wear a bonnet or scarf every night
