Welcome. I'd elaborate, but it looks like Cupcake and Adam said it for me. Back combing isn't terrible. Not the healthiest. But, by far, not the worst method to start growing locks. Crocheting is, though, the worst thing that can be done to locks.
Cupcake is right. When you crochet you break hairs, thus weakening the dread. If you do it often it can even cause dreads to break off. It generally takes the dread 6 months to recover after it has been crocheted. Have a good read of the dreaducation tab for more information.
welcome but as they said crochets a terible extremely destructive method
throw the hook away and let them recover but crochet recovery takes a very long time

That being said, welcome!
Welcome, but did you know by crocheting it damages your hair. Stop crocheting and let them form them self. Happy Dreading
