Hi all-
I read somewhere on this site about someone who only dry-combs their hair (I forgot who it was or which place I read it here) and I am curious how many of you do this as opposed to wet combing in the shower while the conditioner is in your hair?

I've been doing the in-the-shower-thing for a long time and I'm wondering if I'm breaking off hair, but I also would like to know how only dry combing works for others of you with fine hair.  Does it tangle a lot or is it pretty easy to comb out after it dries without combing?  I want to try this next time I shampoo.  I had not thought about hair being weaker when it is wet and therefore more prone to breakage, but this makes perfect sense to me now.  Thanks to whoever posted that information!
Thanks in advance,
strawberryfine

Hi Strawberryfine,
I have fine hair and have tried both wet and dry combing.  I actually find that wet-combing works best for me - I use a wide-tooth comb through my hair, very gently, after conditioning it.  I have tried washing my hair and then leaving it to dry before combing it but it was way to tangly by then.

Well, everyone's hair is different and mine is no exception.  I tried finger combing and ended up with a tiny knot that had to be cut off.  It was so small that I can't even find it now, but for me I think wet combing with tons of conditioner in the shower with a really wide toothed comb is the only way I am going to be able to deal with this super fine hair of mine.  It tangles so easily.  I wish I could have done it the other way, but my hair seems stubborn.  Good luck to the rest of you with fine hair.  Any tips from any of you would be more than appreciated.
