A few months back, I got a comment asking about how often you should retighten mature locs. I have responded several times as a comment but each time it would disappear whenever I hit enter. So this post is basically my response changed and edited a million times out of frustration.
How often you retighten your mature locs is completely up to you. If you want to stick with the four week schedule or drag things out by a few weeks, my recommendation is to stick to a six or eight week schedule.
Experiment and see what works for your hair type and tolerance level for looking a bit unkempt around the edges. My hair demands that I keep a four week schedule, so that is what I am sticking to. I very rarely extend that time unless I want to dedicate an additional evening (2 to 5 hours) to getting it all looking neat again.
Hope this helps.
I know it's short but there isn't much to say about this.
