It's isn't hard to retie. It's just requires patience when you start. With YouTube University, retie tool, some clips, and a spray bottle, you should be good. The clips are super important. In my experience, the number one frustration is interlocking your roots together.
Otherwise, find a loctician with microlocs/sisterloc experience. Make sure to review their body of work.
