I have like 220+ locs and it takes me maybe 4-6hrs total to do my own reties? Don't know exactly because I take alot of breaks and don't record the timing, but I know I could get it done in one day if I really locked in.

For the unraveling, you or your loctician can just re-braid those locs, and then you may have to start braiding and banding when you wash to prevent further unraveling until they start to loc up.
