Question & Answer
Why is my 4C wash and go so frizzy?
The three main reasons are: 1) Your hair wasn't wet enough when applying products. 2) Your sections were too big. 3) You touched your hair while it was drying. For 4C hair, it's crucial to form the coils with gel on wet hair and then let them set completely.
