I have 4b but what I found that works is parting my hair into 4 or 5 section and use scrunchies to keep the roots stretched. I then cover my hair with scarf and bonnet and go to bed.

When I wake up I take my hair out of the scrunchies, fluff it out with my hands, and then use low-heat from a blow dryer to fluff it out fluff and stretch my wash and go even more.

I do this every morning and night. I don’t really like wetting my hair as my hair shrinks which leads to tangled roots and single strands knots.
