im at almost five months now and i'm starting to be pretty happy with the progress, but had a few questions. i backcombed them, and like most people, i lost a lot of hair in the process and i was wondering if any permament hair damage will result of that. also i dont think i have too much loose hairs, but if i were to tie them with something, is there something besides hemp to rubberband it with?? and i feel like some of my hair has broken off, does anyone else have that happening, i'm not too concerned about it but just want to know where evryone else is at with it. and any thoughts and opinions about my dreads would be greatly appreciated thanks a ton!
