finger combing

[squee]

It is the weekend and I have nothing better to do at the moment.

How many of you finger comb?

I do more finger combing then regular brushing personally.

I thought there ware articles about it already. But I fingercomb, especially to get the really bad tangles out of my hair.
Then I comb afterwards.

I try to finger come most of the time, especially after washing... I find it helps my hair retain it's wave pattern better.... however, if i comb the very bottom/ ends, my hemline looks thicker, and I have less issue w/ sheds tangling/ knotting if I comb.... so for me, prob every other day (finger comb, next day regular comb)

I voted half and half as I finger comb in the shower, wrap it in a towel, then when I take it down, I comb it with a regular wide-tooth comb.

There might be, I only did a search in this forum.

I do to get the bad tangles out, but that's about it. My hair naturally clumps, and while I love the way that looks on curly hair, I don't particularly like it on wavy hair. And since fingercombing doesn't break it up that well, I need something to break it up a little even if it does mean my hair's less wavy.

i smooth my hair by my scalp with a tangle teaser or boar brush but my length does not respond to it at all well or it fluffs big time so i finger comb the length which allows it to wave or curl depending on it's mood.

I only finger-comb, in the shower with tons of conditioner and then afterward to distribute hair gel. When it's dry I don't do any combing at all; the most I'll do is smooth it down with my hands.

I finger comb from time to time when I don't have a comb on me, but I prefer my regular comb... so would that be a half and half vote?.. Well I'm marking other just to be safe.

I voted half and half. I use both finger combing and a wide tooth comb. I usually tend to finger comb first to remove big knots and tangles. I will then use a wide tooth comb afterwards.

I find finger combing helps me remove knots more gently than my combs
