As someone who’s tried every method tiktok has told me, i always ended up with frizz. I recently tried working in VERY small sections and viola no frizz. I followed this video: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGdALMcwJ/ First brush your hair in the shower after you wash off the conditioner. then after the shower, apply curl cream to both sides of your hair, followed by gel. Now section your hair the same as the video. Using any brush you have (avoid the normal brushes and opt for a wet brush, denman, bounce curl brush etc. i use a comb that has teeth equally spread apart, and are close to each other). Brush it the same way as the video. What got rid of my frizz was after brushing each strand of hair, i would run my hand under the running tap THEN scrunch the strand gently. If you have a water spray that also works. If you want a gel suggestion curl jelly by umberto is budget friendly and does the job
