umm we;ll 1st off throw the comb away the backcombing is why ethey look like that
and uu should not be backcombing the loose ends anyway
now i dunno what to tell you about cleaning those up for 1 your sections look rediculously large and very poorly defined
now you say your "going natural:' but then your backcombing which is not going natural at all
so if your already not going natural id splut those up into smaller sections and twist n rip then do aloe
twist and rip would look a hell of alot better anywaay
the funy thing is if u did go natural the natural messuiness wouldnt look 1/2 as messy as th backcombed . umm..(sdont take this as critisism) but i dunno what to call that cause it looks more ulije u backcombed all the hair into just a general backcombed messines instead of individual dreads (although u can kinda seee the intended dreads which are reallly large)
so id split em up
and eigther go natural from there or tnr the newer smallrr neater sections and it will look much better right away
