Re: How to Backcomb
well that all kind of depends on weather you like your dreads to stay attached to your head or not

you dont wanna backcomb over any parts of the hair that has begun to lock, it may break the hair or untangle it, HINDERING the lockage

Re: How to Backcomb
Roots will never really be fully knotted. Usually its normal hair 0.5-1 inches from your scalp. Think of it this way...when you first back comb, you push the knots to your scalp. This makes your dreads stand..if your roots stayed knotted, you'd get the sideshow bob effect.
Welcome to the board, btw.

Re: How to Backcomb
So, Backcombing.....
Reckon it'll work with hair that's only 4" long?
Been working on the 'neglect' method for about a month now, but the hair just seems to try and knot up, then fall out again, then try again.
It's almost as lazy as I am >.<
right now it's at the stage where several hairs are together in a group, just kinda going the same way together. But there's no mingling, they're just all sitting the same way, no knots between them and most of the hair just looks normal.
Worth getting a mate to backcomb them, see what happens (other than all my hair standing up straight in little 3" spikes of fluff!)?
Not that that's not awesome in it's own right!

Re: How to Backcomb
Hehe, cheers!
It's a bit of a grease-monster at the moment (washing but not messing with the hair, i just kinda sit, soak and pat at the moment), but things are kinda working slowly I guess.
Got some Dr B comin' in the post, should make things a bit easier (and smell more pleasant too!)
