I retouch them continually. I never redo all of them at once so I'm always redoing a braid. I always make sure the hairline braids are not dangling. I don't even give them a minute to do that. I touch them up as soon as they start to feel loose. Then I either start at the back and redo a few at a time while watching TV till I get to the front in a few days. Or I move onto where the parts are and do the braids that show on top when I style my hair, getting to the hidden ones last. So I can't really say how long I wait to redo. I redo them as needed. I have major hand-in-hair disease.

Does that usually happen every couple of weeks (i.e. do you re-do a braid after 2 weeks, etc.)?
Edges every 2 weeks...Whole head every month.
Corn rows every 2 weeks
Eta: I agree with Noni when you do them little continuously they always look freshly done.
www.growafrohairlong.com has all the info you want. 2 months for the entire head of braids and redo the edges every 2 weeks. She (Robin) has a diagram of the areas for redo.
Your edges and nape area are sensitive and fragile and should not have hair hanging from it stressing it no more then 2 weeks. People leave them in so long and they blame braids for their edges being jacked. It's not the braids...it's the care of their own hair while in'em.
