Hi lamaria,
After three years I'm still sticking to the basics. I try to wash and DC weekly (sometimes it goes towards every two weeks depending on time), rollerset, take vitamins, very limited direct heat (maybe 4-6 times annually), relax every 6 weeks and low manipulation/minimal combing with a wide tooth comb. I used to bun a lot from 2009-2010 and it really can be effective to break a "retention plateau." These days, I wear it in a ponytail or down most days. I also dust or trim as needed (every few months).
I also moisturize and seal as needed. It's very hot and humid in Houston, so I don't have to do it every single day in the summer.
