    Yea, so after 4 months I decided to backcomb. My hair is 4-4 and a half inches. Had 2 friends help. Sectioned, put rubber bands in, backcombed. We were going to keep the bands in for 2 days but I couldn't bend my hair down and I have to wear a hat at work. So we cut them out and backcombed abit more.

    Took 5 hours all together. My friend we ready to kill me. But here they are. Some came lose over night, but only one or two. Those were the ones that really fought the backcombing.

    might wanna think bout some beads, the shortness might give ya lil trouble with unraveling..maybe not but just seems like it might
    5 hours for 4 inches of haor and ppl suggest backcombi g for ppl with hair to theyre knees? yikes.. that would be boyut a week of nonstop backcombing..
    ouch

    lookin good tho

    Although with longer hair you could afford to backcomb much looser so it may not be sooo bad

    dude, there are sooo may stickies around to prevent like 50 diff. threads like this (although this is like a cling on thread thingy). Take a look around the front page for the dreadlock thread.

    Peace.
