Even without back combing, the hook is not designed to be used on such a thin fiber as hair. it does do a considerable amount of damage. But you're right. if you don't maintain them, they will loosen up and mature properly. So just crocheting once, to start, is not the worst thing in the world. It does damage, but will not completely destroy locks. It's when it's done over and over again that it does the most harm. Once locks start to tighten, even a little bit, sticking a crochet hook through it shreds hair. There is no way to stick a needle through your locks and not damage hair. The hook is dozens of time thicker than a hair. Once the lock starts tightening, the hair doesn't have anywhere to move out of the way, so it rips.

you cannot use a crochet hook without damage
ut used to be common practice when salons did frosting to pull hairs through holes in a form to bleach but they stopped that cause that gentle pulling hairs through a hole broke too many hairs
thats why now they do foil wraps
you cannot poke a hook through a dread or use it in any way on hair and not cause damage

I understand what you're saying, but when 90% of the damage is on the inside of the lock, you can't tell that he's not doing damage. If your locks get fuzzy after a while, and you "need" to go back to have them pulled back through, that is the damage showing up. Yes natural locks get fuzzy. But not nearly as fuzzy as crocheted locks do. Those hairs popping out are broken hairs from the crocheting. And every pass of the hook to "fix" them, only makes more to pop out the next time.
Unfortunately, there's no way to crochet without doing extreme harm, no matter how "experienced" you are. Crochet hook are sold at art supply stores, and not hair salons for a reason. They aren't haircare tools

trust me ive seen plenty enough to know what im talkimng about and they all claim it does no damage but it does
we had 1 guy crochet an d dove in a pool only to see 4 dreads float away just from the impact with the water
and another had to run his dreds through a sewing machine to keep them from falling apart
there is no sich thing as a proper way to crochet..sure u can do much more damage if your agressive like most salons are cause it takes so damn long they are in a hurry

I'm recovering from the crochet method and aside from "Damage debate" its a waste of money you will constantly be getting maintenance and it last like 2 weeks and then their messy again and it never ends and your never satisfied, the thing about natural is that they start messy and get better and better, crochet start off neat and get worse and worse ... then you go get maintenance and their all neat again and then they get worse and worse .... like I said it never ends.
