HELP ! How do you keep twistouts & bantu knot outs from FRIZZING ?

[NubianPrize]

I tried doing a bantu knot out yesterday on damp hair. I let it dry overnite . The products I used were Qhemet's coco tree ghee & AOHC with some Ecostyler argan gel & a little Aethiopika butter to hold the knots. As soon as i took them out they held the curls for about a minute then started to frizz. In less than 5 " I had an undefined afro on the 4ab sides sides & some curls in my 4a areas. How can I do this without getting frizz? I did do this yesterday when hurricane Sandy was carrying on so the air..even in the house..was a bit humid. I've tried twistouts before & they've frizzed. Am I using the wrong products? I LOVE Qhemet but maybe I need to try something else. Or maybe it's my hair texture: my hair is a thick,very soft fine kind of 4a with tight curls. It looks great with Kinky Curly.. a lot of little coffee stirrer/knitting needle sized curls. It's the kind of fine hair that would not hold curls ( before it broke off & fell out)when I had my one & only relaxer as a teen decades ago. When pressed it came out as "blow hair" which held curls better with curling irons..but can't take too much heat. Curly perms were ideal for my hair type.
What do you ladies use to avoid the dreaded FRIZZ ? What products or home made recipes work best ?

apply oil to your hair and hands before the takedown, twistouts are my staples.

For me like southerncitygirl stated I use oil for the take down. But I would also add that for Bantu knots I always do those on completely dry hair as the knots tend to lock in the moisture in my hair and damp hair is a recipe for frizz. Also when taking down I don't mess with it too much when I don't want frizz. Good luck, but you may end up like the rest of us and learn to embrace frizz (at least a little).

The products you are using are very heavy for -out styles; those products are better for twists, braids, buns, etc. I would try again on damp hair with just gel and allow to dry completely before take down.
