I have a question for anyone who used the backcomb/neglect method. About a week after I backcombed my hair, a good amount of my dreads sort of loosened up. They didn't completely fall out but they're a lot less "dready" now. Just wondering if this is normal or if I should re-backcomb them tighter. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Backcombing question
never ever rebackcomb backcomb can fall apartcompl etely they woll loosen upo r fall apart ..let them

backcomb was an unesacary and damaging step a step that fails fairly often but u cannot rebackcomb or u just add damage and reverse progress

Thanks for the responses! I knew backcombing wasn't necessary but I didn't know it was damaging. Oops. And nope I don't have any bands in. Just gonna let my hair do what it wants to now.
yea hairs covered in scale like cuticles when you comb against the grain they are pried open permenantly so they no longer fiunction they shiould open and close in responce to heat cold moisture dryness ph changes etc this alows moisture penetratiin then seals it in etc once its damaged its easier to add motre damage from heat chemicals etc
