Yeah probably for the best that you stop backcombing, it'd interfere with them settling. People might tell you that you've majorly fucked up and you should start again but it isn't necessary
Yeah i started reading about backcombing, no way will i start over, but i will stop backcombing though, just go all natural now that there tight at the top, and look okay in a bun. Plus my boss likes that they look clean and maintained, or else she wouldnt let me have them.
