Knottysleeves said: Oooops... you're only supposed to backcomb once, to kickstart the process. It's totally normal for some of it to unravel and loosen up. Re-backcombing constantly won't help it lock, in fact it will undo a lot of the progress your hair is making naturally.
Just leave it alone and don't mess with them anymore. They'll loosen up and re-knot and maybe unravel a bit again over the next few months... this is all part of the dreading process, so don't mess with it. See the FAQ for more info on this. Good luck!
