Hi! definitely get rid of the rubber bands they hinder movement and restrict the real dreading, the Most amount of times you should ever backcomb is once! Clockwise rubbing is pointless for sue. You've only just started your journey and at 1 week you don't have dreads yet you have a rough outline of where they will be once the real locking begins so relax and enjoy the ride it's a long process. I recommend the BS/ACV wash & Maylee's garden soaps. But you should try whatever you want to and see what works best for you. :o)
