This question is for my naturals

If you get braids how long do you usually leave them in for? ( for me its 2-4 months)
How often do you wash your hair? (One every 2 to 3 months)
What products do u usually use? (Cantu shea butter, Palmers hair food formula and Garnier fructis)
And from a scale of 1-10 how bad is your shrinkage? (mine is like a 4)
