How many days a week do you wear your hair out? 5-7 days a week, depending on how much I have to go out.
How's your length retention? Great, better than when I was moisturizing my hair with 50-11 products!
I hate buns and ponytails.
How often do you use heat? Trick question. Before, every wash day I'd use a blow drier with a comb attachment. That technique gave me super straight hair that did not need a flat-iron. If I flat-ironed my hair after, it would just be overly straight and limp so I never bothered to anymore. Anyway, my retention was great. Now I've decided to see if I can save more length if I air-dry and my hair air-dries pretty much the same way but with a tad more volume since the comb attachment helped to glide my hair into a super straight style. I don't know if I'm retaining more now or before but air-drying saves time since I'm LAZY.
Do you moisturized and seal your ends daily? Nope, I don't apply products after the washing and conditioning stage. I rely on good conditioners to pretty much keep my hair smooth and intact, this helps my hair from snagging which helps not to give me breakage. Right now, I'm co-washing to use up my products and possibly provide my hair with more moisture but I'm on the fence about how I feel about it. Most likely, if I'm still unsure about co-washing, after I use my products I'll go back to just shampoo and conditioner since my old method was just fine.
Extra information? At home I try to keep my hair up and under a net to protect it. I don't like my hair down at home, it's unnecessary if I have to clean and it keeps me hot.
When I shampoo and condition my hair only, I do it every 7-10 days. With co-washing now to finish my stash, I try to do it every 3-4 days.
Edit for more information : My hair isn't invincible, it does break but nothing drastic and major to cause me to have negative progress. I owe my hair's resistance to conditioners to keep it snag-free, moisture/protein balancing, stretching relaxers, and protecting it before sleeping. If I were to help a newbie with haircare, I would not advise them to do what I'm doing.
