I don't comb my hair daily, as I try to not manipulate too much. Its not really a secret as Sylver has it in her folki
During the week I generally bun my hair, I just make sure my hair is smooth and straight and going in the same direction. I put a scarf on at night and sleep on a satin pillow case (in case the scarf comes off)
If I rinse my hair after my workouts, and use a thin conditioner after. I just make sure I don't get my hair tangled up, I smooth in in the direction I want it to go in and leave it alone.
I wash my scalp once and very lightly during the week. I dilute the shampoo and just do what I need to do. I don't do a serious massage on my scalp (thats reserved for weekend washes) I just need to do it because I have an oily scalp and it helps get rid of the any buildup.
in the morning I just smooth any stray hairs put on some moisterizer, put it in a bun, no need to comb at all.
I've gotten pretty good and can do that for 5 days. On the weekend when I give my scalp a really good massage which I do have to detangle afterwards. I use a D4 to detangle with which my hair loves. I do have a k-cutter but only use it when I'm 10+weeks post relaxer. ( I don't seem to need it until then)
Believe me, the whole no combing thing wasn't easy for me. I started off with every other day until I got the hang of it, which took a while. When I got used to that, I just extended it longer. I've made my mistakes though, and had to learn to not handle my hair roughly.
Being able to do it successfully is just knowing how to handle your hair. Some can do it right off the bat very easily, some just can't.
I still get breakage, I probably always will. Its not as much or as often though. This is the biggest difference I saw with not messing with my hair so much.
If you wanted to switch styles all the time I can see the how not combing could be a problem.
