Backcombing To Tighten?!?!?!?!

Hello All.. I Kno This ?? Has Prolly Been Asked But Im Pretty High N Bein Lazy Since Today Was A Long Day...lmao
My Dreads R Pretty Loose And I Have A Metal Comb Coming And Was Wondering If I Could Go Back And Comb Them Again...
I Used A Rattail Comb To Get Em Started But They R Really Loose!

 

Hey man!
One for starters the capital At The Start Of Every Word Is Annoying
Two don't touch them with a comb, I combed at least once a week, for the first six months, give them a wash with the deep clense/salt water rinse and leave it at that, if you comb you break all the natural progress!
Part of the process of dreading is naturally forming knots, your hair has got to get into a formation it likes first They get loose before tight believe me!
Good luck

1. first off fool you aint got dreads you got backcombed hair
2. if you want to have dreads in the future, dont backcomb them
3. pmeisters right that shits annoying

 

no just leave them, you'll mess um up they will already be forming knots and messing will hinder them!,they will be fine just let them do there own thing.
Dreads are dreads whether you backcombed,ripped or just left them so I dont think your a fool.

 

all youd do idss weaken them till they fall off
backcombing once is bad enough doing it over and over is just dumb

dreads will happen if u just leave em alone...so leave em alone

 

"Good things come to those who wait"

 

no combs!

 

Yeah. That's pretty much the golden rule of dreadlocks. Well, aside from NO WAX, of course

 

thnk u guys who gave some friendly advice and to the ignorant pricks save all the negative shit to urself! i am leaving them alone jus gonna keep seperating them..

 

Wait. Which category do I fall under?

 

backcombing hurts like hell and isn't worth it. just chill and enjoy watching them change and lock up.

 

they become much more beautiful when they're loosely backcombed, because they have more room to change and form.

 

Yeah. Wouldn't that kinda give them like the general structure, while still giving them the ability to do as they please and lock up freely?

 

thnx for ur advice i was only taking to natural philosophy...

 

Oh, alright. I just didn't want to come across as a jerk. Because I sometimes have a habit of doing that. And it is <b>NEVER</b> my intention.

 

ur fine... i can take criticism but not assholes...lmao:cheers2:

 

also i have rubberbands on the roots to keep em from gettin tangled with one another... good or bad idea??

 

bad
they will tangle with the bands swallowing them the bands will begin to melyt and dry rort and become a gross sticlky mess
get rid of them
they shouldnt have been in there more then a day you'll already be destroying knots just trying to get em out
best way, cut e,m and pull out ther chunks, be careful to get em all so none remain embedded inside the dread

 

Not a good idea, and could be a really really bad idea if you have those cheap rubberbands in it. The Goody silicone bands are good but you wouldn't want those in your hair for more than 5-7 days I beleive.
Oh, PS remember me from the chatroom? :]

 

I'm kinda curious as to what you mean when you say that. I've heard it said before that the dreads will eat bands. Do you just mean that the bands will kinda disintegrate and then go inside of the dread formation and rot?
