And its has dramatically reduced breakage.
I basically do 8 large two-strand twists round my head (4 each side) at night and put my leave in spray (a cheapy from Boots - almond and coconut oil mixed with EVOO) inside the durag.
In the morn i undo these twists and lo and behond sum big silky waves.
i simply use my fingers and boar brush to put my hair into a donut bun (or a twist n clip) and i'm good to go. when i come home i let it out and do the same thing with the twists before bed.
After about 5 days its ready 2 wash. i comb and to my amazement because of the slight finger combing and high moisture, i have hardly any tangles. i really think combing is unnessary only to once or twice a week. I'm relaxed by the way, i kno if i went back to natural i would stay in the twists for two weeks n then wash like i used to. my hair was to my booty, i believe thats because of the no manipulation and hardly ANY combing.
TRY it out, and see how u go. try it from ur hair wash, to the next (if u wash once a week) u will see a bigggg difference in breakage!! PS. i comb b4 washing and then wen its dry i comb once more then thats it for the whole week, i believe this is why i am now past armpit length with thick ends, i had thin ends because of the single plait bun, but the donut and twist bun is very good if your ends are thin... my i add, i used to have DRY ends. i realised my hair stylist was using NORMAL kitchen scissors
i went to a salon had my hair cut (liek 2 inches 
) with sharp scissors, and now i haven't trimmed for 8 months n my ends r great! and less combin = less trims i have found. i now dust every 3 months or so, and use heat every 3 months too,,,adios!xx

(while i was lurker laydee).
This was funny to me for some reason. It's definitely not a stupid question b/c for the longest when I heard people say finger comb I'd be lookin like 
but with braidouts, twisouts, bantu knots etc etc, it's pretty easy to just piece through it and keep it movin.
somebody give me an emergency remedy.
I only comb in the shower with my Jilbere shower comb with conditioner in my hair. The rest of the time I just finger comb and smooth with my hands.
