Rebackcombing...

Star I haven't had 3 sets of dreads in one year - I grew out my hair 3 different times and had 3 different sets. The first one my hair was too short. I learned about backcombing and washing no-nos. The second set was just fine, except I had to cut them because I found out a daughter was on the way and I flipped out to get a job. Just sayin. I gave my advice as an individual not as an expert - based on the times I've experimented with methods on the 2nd set when I knew I was going to cut them off anyways. I've been on this site since mid 2010 this is just a different username because I deleted the old one (chewinchange). Geez lady...

I'm glad there are fellow dreadies that are here to warn others of the consequences. But the people that choose not to listen will suffer whatever fate comes from it, good or bad. So try not to put people down. There's more than one way to skin a cat. Some ways just have none, less, or more risk and reward.
