welcome rose!! so happy you joined
are you sure you want to start with those methods again when your hair dreads so fast? if so, just twist and riip not backcomb back in the 80s (you loook way too young to remember thAt haha) women would lightly backcomb or tease the hair, nothging nearly as agressive as the backcombing to dread
and this is what it did to hair
your hairs covered in scale like cuticles meant to open and close in response to temp, moisture, and ph changes which helps regulate and protect the hair
once backombed and the cuticles damaged they no longer function and the hairs more easily damaged by other means like heat, it also doesnt as efficiently seal in moisture
but, look through the site thouroughly ask questions before starting most wil recommend just letting it dread (i recommend it most of all) however
if the natural process is too crazy due to extremely fast dreading well then its understandable to tnr
okh speaking of insanely fast dreading with crazy results, and still having spiritual or otherwise having meaning
thgis awesome guys dread thing formed in a singgle night in a cuddle puddle in a tipi
long long time later after he cut it he still caries it with him at all times
