Welcome. While back combing is acceptable, it's not very healthy. To spend so much time and energy forcing your hair to be pushed backwards puts a lot of torque on your roots and scalp. It tends to rip out a lot of hairs and make your locks stick up in all directions like sideshow bob. TnR is the best method for starting them other than going natural. Not everyone's ready or willing to just stop everything, though. We understand. But I urge you to look at the dreaducation page, and ask around in the recovery and timeline forums and talk to members who did use back combing. See how they feel about it, and what issues they ran into
You won't regret going natural at all
