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!!!!!!
