And throw away the crochet hook. All crocheting does is damage. It breaks hairs into smaller and smaller pieces, which weakens your locks. Those broken hairs end up sticking out, looking like loose frizz that needs to be pulled back in. But the more you crochet, the more frizz is caused, and the more it makes you feel like you need to fix it. Just leaving them be will eventually clean up those frizzy hairs. And each time you crochet it actually delays progress.
btw ..theres a comment back button better to use that then comment on my own profile

Oh I see, well I feel better knowing that my affect hasn't been too devastating.And I agree with what you said, my dreads felt weird when I was finished, it may sound corny or cliche but in all honesty the felt... Well... Soulless. Luckily i am extremely lazy and my backcombing job was terrible. After I slept on them and they separated and were born anew the felt like the had character. Even though they looked more sloppy and tangled than uniform dreads they felt alive, like each mass of slightly matted hair was experiencing their rebirth, and becoming what destiny intended. That sounds weird, I know. But in all honesty that's what I felt.
backcombing i wouldnt call devestating effects yes it permenantly harms the hair prying up the cuticle so it cant function but its not like it breaks it into lil peices like crochet does and u didnt use wax or anything so its not really that much harm overall
the worse it does is makes the hair lil easier to harm more with chemicals heat and or harmful manipulation
so the inflicting your will into the formation a aposed to letting nature take its course will probly have more of an affect on the overall journey..if that makes sence
i used to know a girl named sterling she got the name by tapping it out in more code while in her moms womb..or so shee said ant-=yway

Oh yes, you are correct. I back combed it first, but had no idea of the devastating affects it had. Since then my dreads have separated and formed their own path, and I hope my oppressive beginning won't discourage them from following what they see as their destiny. I forgot to mention that. I'll have to edit that sometime. But yes, I have decided that if I try to control the locks, the result will be fake, manufactured if you will. I only hope I haven't damaged them too much because of their Harmful upbringing.
Welcome and Happy Dreading..
