hey everyone

Introduce Yourself

hi guys my name is josh im 19 from scotland and these are my first dreads,, ive had them in for 2 weeks now and i fell into the trap of buying the kit and backcombing which hurt alot ,,, before i started i wish i had seen this forum,, ive had them backcombed by a friend and bands put on the tips,, ive only used wax once so i think i cud be okay with stopping now without having to undo wht i have already,, anyways what i wanna know is now they are in place with bands there is loose hair all around my head so would i be best to just leave it not add any products and let it go its own route from here?,, will the loose hair go into the dreads? and will my dreads form even tho backcombed?

Dreading Methods

i was the same when i first backcombed as they came undone i was like ahhh questions questions,,, also i found after back combing a month or so later when loose hair and frizz was on the go more than dread then stupid folks saying to me u got super messy dreads u need then retwisted or go to a salon get them tightened,,, my respone was a blank expresion and a polite ehhh nah man lol,,, but tbh for the last 3 or 4 months i just havent bothered atall nae questions nae panic itl do it in its own time ,,, apart from the comments from my mum,,, and the 'fashonable' people and few other types of folk,, i get no hassle now haha
