I finger comb my hair daily and only use a comb to detangle my hair once a week on wash day. Before I found this board If someone had have told me this I would have thought they were crazy, but now I know better. I put my hair up in a high ponytail at night after oiling it, silk scarf it, bonnet it and then in the am after my shower I let it down, finger comb and go. Works great for me. The less manipulation for my hair the better and my hair suprisingly does not tangle.
During the summer, I condition wash it and bun it everyday.. no combing except on wash days.
