A long long time since retightening

Here is a shot of my hair when I had no time or energy to retighten (after having a flu virus). Its been about 12 weeks at a guess. My hair went through quite a dry faze and not even water could sort it out. This is my first winter with sisterlocks so I am guessing the weather may not be helping and I need to up the moisture. I finally got around to retightening my hair which took over one week.
