I have very thick hair that tangles very easily. I see the comb as too much of a bother, so recently I started using my fingers to comb my hair. I like it much better since I can move my fingers and change the space to how I want it. I just like the flexibility of it. Is this normal?

I do that a little bit to help untangle my hair, but I always make sure I use a brush after. It just doesn't feel right if I don't. Besides, a brush or comb may catch a tangle you missed. I'd say it's fairly normal though, I've seen a few girls do the same thing.
It's normal, but you might want to wash your hands before and after. Think of all of the things you touch throughout the day, and the stuff that builds up under your fingernails, you're putting that in your hair and your scalp. Besides, combs and brushes are to help you pull your hair into a neat shape, if you want the full windblown look, then fingers will do the job, especially for curls or waves. You don't want to pull your hair out, but you don't want knots on your hair either. Use a comb every now and again, you'll see a shine in your hair as well.
i do it myself all the time.
but shit, i voted for the first option .. so speedy in making decisions i forget to look at other alternatives in life
I use a comb in the morning and before bed, but throughout the day i use my fingers. I did it after reading this.XD
I do that. I have curly hair and if i used a brush it would just make it poofy and gross. the ONLY time i brush my hair is when i get out of the shower
I have curly hair, so the closest i come to 'brushing' it is in the shower with my hands. lol
it's the best thing to do if you have curly hair. Brushing it is actually terrible for it because it messes up the curl pattern and often makes is frizz out!
My hair is super long and if I don't brush it well when wet I'll get almost instant dreads! But after it's dry, most of the time I'll fix it with my fingers.
yes it looks a lot better that way or else you are flattening the natural volume/curls
Sometimes, sure. Sometimes its the best thing you can do to keep your hair healthy. Personally, I believe messing with your hair too much can damage it. I have grown my hair down to between my shoulder blades because I am very gentle with it and I try not to apply too much stress to it.
