What's your Pre-Protective Style Routine?

[gloomgeisha]

I'm currently on a personal challenge to keep my hair in twists until June of next year. This is my weekly pre-twist regimen:

Detangle
Hot Oil Pre-poo Treatment
Shampoo
Light Protein Deep Treatment
Moisturizing Deep Treatment

What is yours? What are techniques that you use now that you didn't use before? How often do you refresh your protective style and do you feel that it's increased your growth potential?

If your style lasts longer than a week...how do you do it?

5. day 4 co-wash add leave in as #1
