I tried backcombing with 5 inches of curly hair, and it was a waste. Not only did most of it all fall out but it damaged my hair as well. The only thing it was good for was sectioning it out, but even so... I feel like it's cheating the natural process. I backcombed it one more time after it all fell out (about a week later), only to have most of it fall out again. So now all I do is wash my hair with the liquid dread lock soap from dreadlocksoap.com, and it is knotting up on its own. Naturally, beautifully, and healthily.
Ok cool, i dont want to do neglect its not for me i want the backcomb method!! dreads need to be tidy for my work!!

you need to wait. they will look wierd. And I would just go neglect for now, you will feel more free as you don't have to do shit. When your hair is 8-10 inches, then consider backcombing if you want a more manufactured look
