It does for me, yes.
You have to be careful to not use repetitive styles that'll strain the same part of the hair every time, and use hair-safe tools to put it up, but once you've got that sorted it really helps protect it from wear and tear, stops it from tangling (which means less detangling damage), and I've noticed my hair doesn't dry out as much either. You might find
this article interesting, it really makes you think about what your hair goes through every day with bag straps, windy days, zips, etc.
Funny you mention down is the lazy option for you; up is my lazy option since I don't have to spend time detangling later.
I do wear it down sometimes though, but it's more of something special for me, like wearing a skirt instead of jeans.
