Per week/per day/ per month?

I'm a junior in college, and I am pressed for time. I try to let Saturdays be my hair days, but I realize that my hair needs more attention during the week or i'm going to have hell to pay each weekend. I try to do twists and my hair is a tangled mess by the end of week one.

How do you ladies make time work for you and your hair care? Do you always do protective styles? Do you comb/brush through it each day?

Share yo secrets, please.
