My son is also mixed, and his hair looked like yours when I started his locs with finger coils (the comb wasn't working out). I am a HUGE advocate of washing your hair as often as possible, so a week later I loosely latched his coils before I did his first shampoo. Some (only some) of the coils came out, but that's normal. I simply coiled them again. It wasn't long before he could wash his hair without problems.
It did take my son's hair longer to lock than mine, but I think that is due to texture.
All that to say, you don't have to start over. You will have locs, and they will be gorgeous!Last edited by SilverLocs; 05-19-2010 at 05:20 AM.

From looking at pictures, about 3-4 months, in part because I latched his hair after the first month. By 10 months (again from pictures), his hair was well on the way to locing, even though he was free forming by then. Now, 2 1/2 years later, he is definitely locked.
As others have said before, there is no timetable for when you hair "should" be locked. My son's hair took nearly 2 years; mine took barely over 1 year. Just be patient, and try not to obsess over your babies (easier said than done)
