I backcombed by dreads also. I would personally take out the bands. It is typical for almost all of the backcombed hair to come undone and it will knot itself up over time. The sections do tend to stay as you had them. It definitely sucks watching all the time you put into them come undone, but they knot up so amazing over the months.

I'm 9 months in now, and they are still reknotting themselves.

thanks everyone for the advice, so far i removed the first band i put in it does actually seem to be more knoted than pre band. and the dread has a crinkle shape, looks pretty cool i think dont know if that will stay like that though.did not mention before that i was assisting in movement by holding each end of the banded section and rotating then noticed small loops poking out the side of the banded section would this be signs of it knoting???

they are still babies. They need to move around a bit so that they can knot. I would take the bands off. The areas will eventually knot up. just gotta have patience.
