I just wonted to take a minute to say thank you to everyone here for stopping me from getting into bad habits before I started them. I am only a month in to my journey, and because I stopped the whole backcombing/crochet method, I am already getting natural dreads popping up all over my head. My hair genuinely thanks you for eliminating the pain/irritation that said backcombing caused. I am happy to say that my hair is doing great on it's own!!! I have a lot of loose hair, but it's actually forming new dreads FASTER THAN BACKCOMBED ONES HAVE. The backcombed ones are starting to fall apart, and the new natural ones are replacing them daily. Thanks again for all the helpful advice.!
