This was me over the past several months ... not keeping PS for long.

My regimen was to keep my hair twisted for 3 days on average then wear a twistout the rest of the week. Twistout puffs, twistout fros, twistout with a pretty clip, etc. It was my low-manipulation style. I co-washed 1-2x a week and moisturized after each co-wash. I would either wash in twists, airdry, and unleash into a twistout ... or wash after a twistout and retwist.

Recently, I've become a PS convert because it's better for my hair now that it's gotten longer.

Loolalooh... I was thinking about doing twists for a few days and then doing a twistout with my hair toys.

Ooo, that'll be super cute with your length!

I am just a wash n go gal. I just can't seem to get more than one flat twist in a row.

My hair isn't long enough to do PS really. The best PS I get is usually twist or if I wear my hair pinned up. But, in order to wear it pinned up in cute styles I have to utilize bobby pins.

I don't wear wash n go's really anymore and I haven't worn a twist out in MONTHS at least 3.

Right now I'm going through a cycle where I wear big twists for a day or two, then a twistout, wash, deep condition, repeat. It's not a true "protective style" but it is low-manipulation for me. I don't really like most protective styles because my hair type is FUZZY and twists look old soon as I put them in.
