Are you leaving your braids in long enough? I noticed that if my hair is not 100 percent dry, my braidout or twistout will definitely look frizzy or kind of puffy.As far as products, that's kind of tough. I'll let the other ladies chime in with some product recommendations.

1st and foremost, tie up your hair at night, w/ a satin/silk scarf, and have a satin/silk pillowcase, in case the scarf comes off. What I will do is twist(or braid) w/ either shea butter on damp hair, or whipped pudding. Sometimes I will use ORS lock/twist but that stuff is so drying to my hair. When I unravel, I am very careful, and I don't usually get frizz, unless that's what I want,Sometimes I will wet the twists or braids the first day, tie them up really well at night, and when I take them down, my hair looks really great, and very defined. I don't mind the frizz if my hair decides to do its own thing though. I am a natural btw. I don't buy into the hair typing thing, so I can't tell you what "type" of hair I have just that it's a whole lot healthier.

I agree, if your hair isnt ALL THE WAY dry then youll definately have frizz in most cases. I usually braid my hair when its dry already so that way any products I use will just make it a little damp. Always give your hair enough time to dry fully before taking the braids down.
