To Comb or Not To Comb?

in Hair Type 3
Hi all! I'm new to the site and just wanted your advice on this subject.
I've been reading lots of different things about combing, such as using a narrow-tooth comb helps to 'push' conditioner into the hair; using a wide-tooth comb is better for curly hair; that you shouldn't use a comb at all and using fingers is best! :?
Does anybody have anything to say on this subject that might help me? I'm trying all the different methods out one by one but just wondered if anybody else had anything to add.
Thanks!

3a/b with some frizz issues, still struggling with idea of not using shampoo every day! Secret weapon: only ever finger-comb.

Overall, though, it really depends on what works for you. I can't only finger comb because I find it too time-consuming. I use a wide-tooth comb to dentangle my hair and distribute product. I used to also comb conditioner through in the shower, but I'm experimenting with finger combing to see if it makes a difference.
3B that is no longer CG, but still endeavors to have healthy hair by not using sulfates.

If I'm planing to wear my hair up in a ponytail that day, which i have to do at work a lot, I run my fingers through my hair till its almost in ponytail form and not parted at the sides and make sure to get any tangles out. This helps me stay away from combing once im out of the shower. Sorry if that was confusing.

Elithia, love your picture - we actually have very similar hair in terms of length and curl pattern but yours looks much shinier than mine. Have made a note of your products!
Have to say also that John Frieda Frizz Ease for fine hair has made a huge difference - not sure if you can get this Stateside? Also not sure serums are encouraged on CG :?:
Anyway, thanks again for your help!
