A true low manipulation routine for me would be the same style for days and minimal brushing etc. You are by definition manipulating your hair when you take it down and re-style twice a day.
Benign neglect is leaving your hair alone and not thinking about it much. So they go together but aren't *the same*.
That being said, it doesn't really matter. If your routine works for your hair and your lifestyle then don't worry too much about what to call it! Besides, not all hair thrives on benign neglect, some of us need to give a little more love.
