Welcome. I love the name Sequoia too. I'm still trying to convince my wife to name our daughter that if we have one.
Back combing isn't a terrible method to use. It does some damage, but it's better than crocheting. If you really want to start over, you can soak your head in conditioner and gently brush out your hair. It can take some time, but a few members have combed out mature locks in the past few months
Welcome. Unlike Barrellady, I won't recommend throwing the crochet hook away. That's a waste of a perfectly good few dollars. Instead learn to use it properly. Check out youtube, or get some books on how to make a scarf, tam, blanket, etc...
Crocheting can betherapeutic But your hair is just too weak to handle the pulling. All it does is rips your hair to shreds. Yarn, however, is much stronger. That is what a crochet hook was designed for.

and just as a side note i really hope your not using wax. that discussion could be a much more brutal one.

she aint lying man. If you want to see proof browse this site. There are literally thousands of people on this site who have posts about how much they regret using a crochet hook. they have pictures. The recovery pictures will make you cringe man. You are trying to avoid frizz, but really you just create and hide a ton of frizz that has to come out at some point. unless you crochet forever.were not trying to knock your dreads. we just want the best for them. If you dont believe us look around this site. I read hundreds of stories before i decided i didnt want to crochet hook mine. However since i did buy the tool im thinking of taking it up as a hobby on cloth and wool
Welcome and Happy Dreading.
Always, Hippie Love
