Welcome. Natural is the healthiest, but not everyone is ready to just let nature do it's thing. TnR is the second best method to start. Back combing is ok, but it does considerable damage to your hair in the process.
Be aware that with any starter method, you will see a 1 step forward 2 steps back progress. They will come untangled before they start to tighten. That's normal. Don't try to redo them.
Check out the dreaducation page first and then the timeline foums o see what you'll be in for in the coming weeks and months
Welcome to the community. Most people here will advise that you grow them naturally, and I would be one of them, but the other good method id TnR. Have a good read of the dreaducation tab before you decide anything.

How do you plan on starting? I would suggest natural, but TnR is the next best thing. I wouldn't advise any other method.

Any idea how you want to start?
