Introduce Yourself
thanks I'm getting rid of the rubber bands asap. thanks for the advice.
Ivan said: ditch the rubberbands for sure bro. i made the mistake in leaving them in and once i backcombed, i had to first comb out all this nasty shit and clumps of pulled out hair (yea the rubberbands pull a lot of hair out at the root as it grows). so i was combing out balls of hair and nasty residue: probably dirt and grease build-up. but i gave myself a good washing and it all came out. now i'm rubberband-free and it's so much better and cleaner too. good luck with your method and hope the advice helped.
