[chasturner84]

I PS everyday in buns & half wigs

 

[Charlie555]

I wear protective styles about 90% of the time. Typically cornrows under a wig or weave.

 

[glamazon386]

Probably 80% of the time.

 

[leiah]

typically i only put my hair into a bun on a bad hair day or when i don't have enough time to do it so maybe 1 or 2 days a week.

right now i'm doing it every day because of postpartum shedding

 

[Lita]

Most of the time....When the weather breaks/I have my hair in pony-tails 5-10%......
*My hair is in buns & twist up 95% of the time....



Happy Hair Growing!

 

[MsKikiStar]

75% of the time my hair is in a ponytail or banana clip with the ends pinned up or loosely braided.

 

[KurlyNinja]

All the time. Wigs/half wigs in the winter. Buns in the summer.

 

[ms-gg]

All the time. I might wear my hair out loose in a fro 1 day, but more than likely the whole month my hair is in twists, flat twists, braids etc....

I just don't have the patience to deal with my loose hair on a daily basis....

 

[snillohsss]

Zero. I need to try bunning again, but my ends started to break when I bunned previously.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

Almost all the time with buns, ponytails, or braids I've done myself.

 

[TruMe]

I wear buns Monday-Friday and out over the weekend (most of the time, unless I am feeling lazy). Trying to get to BSL by the end of this year!

 

[curlyninjagirl]

PSing 99% of the time. I only wore my hair "out" 4 times total last year.

 

[ChristmasCarol]

I PS nearly all the time. I wear my hair "out" and "down" about 2-3 days/month in the winter. I wear it down a little more often in the summer.

 

[Rae81]

Not at all. I wear mostly braid outs and twist outs

I typically wear 2 strand twists or single strand twists and I usually wear a twist out a day or two before shampoo day. Last week I tried shampooing and wearing a twist out for a week for the first time. Was fun for a minute but by the weekend I was ready for it go back up so I didn't have to style it every day. I think I figured out a key for my 2 strand twists over the weekend so I may have less of an urge to wear it out.

 

[blessedandlucky]

I voted less than 10% of the time. I usually only wear buns on bad hair days or if I'm running late.

 

[Toy]

almost all the time.

 

[Naturalhaven]

I wear PS 100% in fall/winter with kinky twists and 1/2 wigs and in summer maybe 80% bc I let it loose if I am going out or want to show it off

 

[mzsophisticated26]

Most of the entire month with half wigs, I have not worn my own hair out since my december length check. One reason I wear protective styles so often is because I have thinning and thyroid issues and my hair has been going through some problems

 

[chebaby]

this month i have been in a bun for 3 weeks. butt this is something new.
on average i am in a ps zero % of the time.

 

[halee_J]

99% of the time. I'm forever in a bun the only time my hair is "out" is when I'm airdrying after a wash.

 

[Carisa]

I usually ps about 90-100% of the time. I give my hair a rest for a few days before getting it rebraided in cornrows and wear wigs over that. When it gets a little longer I will probably ps about 50% of the time.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

WIG = M-F 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

(Never on weekends)

 

[melo14609]

Every 1-2 months I have my hair in braids and I give my hair a two week rest in between braid applications.

 

[NaturalBoss]

I wear buns 100% of the time.

 

[Qtee]

I'm in a protective style now..I will be wearing a wig for 2 weeks or until I'm bored and miss my hair..then I wont wear a wear again for 2 months..And wigs are my only PS...although I consider my out styles PS like wng ..Its low maintenance and I dont mess with my hair everyday..its that included in the PS then I would say 80-90% during the summer and 40-50% in the winter..I also wear braidouts but they are PS cause I rebraid nightly so I'm always messing in my hair..

 

[civic4800]

I voted 60-80% of the time since I tend to bun M-F and wear my hair out Sat and Sun.

 

[hannan]

Every freakin day.

 

[Bajanmum]

Twists for 99% of the time. The other 1% I'm co washing, detangling, hair masking, and air drying, before I twist up again.
