6 months or longer without a retwist

This is damaging to your locs because if your hair grows at a rapid rate and you're not getting Retwist every 4-6 weeks the new growth will grow outside of the traditional loc. loc smithing is needed to train your new growth without needing crochet work.

Cleansing your locs

I know you want to wash your hair to prevent build up and keep your locs clean but keep in mind over washing can cause your locs to take longer to lock in and you can risk thinning as well. Every 3 weeks is fine to wash your locs. Water is essential for your locs but shampoo too often is not good and will cause them to be stripped of their natural oils.

How long do you keep your hair in a style ?

I  recommend keeping styles in for a couple weeks.2 weeks max to give that scalp a break and the locs space to grow, not doing so can cause heightened tension, alopecia, breakage and more.

Loc maintenance tips

It is important to not wait too long to retwist your locs because regular maintenance helps them stay neat, tidy, and healthy. Waiting too long can lead to new growth tangling with the rest of the locs, which can make the retwisting process more difficult and potentially cause damage to the locs. Regular retwisting also helps promote healthy locs growth and overall locs health.
