A few questions from a starter! (Pics included)
hi! i've had my comb coils in for one week now and i have a few questions
1) i have 4c hair... is there a timetable for when i should expect them to loc?
2) my main issue is that my parts are too small! if they lock in the next few weeks, at what point can i start combining them? can they still look symmetrical if so? does it make more sense to combine or take them down
3) how long should i wait before washing? someone told me a month. are there any recommendations for a flaky scalp as well?gg
4) should i apply castor oil along my edges for growth? they're hurting as you can see lol. or will this cause build-up?
5) can i predict what size dreads i'll have from these parts?
thank you!!!!!!

Re: A few questions from a starter! (Pics included)
Thank You!!! I just had a few more qs-- I'm 2 weeks into my now journey and haven't washed yet, but as I've ALWAYS had dandruff, I really want to make sure I have a healthy scalp as I lock. I haven't had itching yet, but I assume it's there.
1) I've heard tea tree oil applied on the scalp is good for dandruff-- but how often should I apply it? Is there anything else that works well and how often should one apply?
2) I've also heard that I can use a stocking cap and regular shampoo -- however, I've also heard that I should NOT use conditioner, as this would hinder locking. Is this true?
3) is retwisting monthly frequent enough for me to have uniform locs?
Thanks again!

Re: A few questions from a starter! (Pics included)
Please keep in mind everybody's experience is different, and what works for one does not necessarily work for the other. You have to learn and know your hair, and learn and know how much you're willing to put into it.
Keep products to a minimum, try and keep your hands out of your hair and always maintain a clean scalp.
Good luck to you.http://www.nappturality.com/forum/pi...972292&thumb=1 http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/...58/184/7ba.gifRevelation 21:4 - Psalm 51 - Psalm 121 - Ephesians(All words typed above are my experience and/or opinion, please feel free to agree or disagree....just please, do so without malice.)Loc'ed: 19/NOV/08 - Love ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NP Convert since 06/08

Re: A few questions from a starter! (Pics included)
Your hair is so cute... do they come out easily after you wash it... I waited like a month before washing mine too... do you wash it with a stocking cap on like one of the other members suggested?
