How are my waves doing? (Pics included)

I have been brushing for a week now. I shampoo/condition 3 times a week and when I get out I apply pink lotion and sporting waves pomade. I brush from the crown down, the back down and for the side I brush towards the temple. I use a soft brush at the moment and hard brush in the shower when I brush while shampooing and conditioning. As for the days that I don't shampoo and etc, I just brush and wear a durag at night. That's basically all I do. Should I anything more? When will I actually see the waves come in and connect? All opinions, thanks.
