In the Winter I am bunning my hair or wearing some type of protective style 95% of the time. Baltimore, Maryland weather rips through my hair like crazy [winds, severe coldness ] so this is best for me. I try do a good deep conditioning treatment with heat at least once a week, sometimes twice a week, just depends on how my hair feels.
I start co-washing on a daily basis around March, April and that is when I wear my wet bun or wash-n-go bun---still trying to perfect it.
