its healthiest to use henna

never re-backcomb

if the backcombv falls out let it dread naturaly

backcomb is damaging enough once doing it again will be extra damaging
besides backcomb falls out fairly often anyway but still will dread if u just let it dread

for me, dying dreads has always slowed down/gone back a few weeks. wait until they have fully sectioned, they will still come undone a little, but it won't be as disapointing.
