Hello im new to the CG method, i wanted to ask questions to the community but since we cant create more posts in the reddit well i will try there.

So basically i tried the whole curly girl method but at the end when i “break the hardness” of the hair when the gel is dried my hair cause a lot of flakes, and also how to avoid frizziness ? my hair deal with it a lot and its so annoying, i think gel might work but rn it cause a lot of flakes. thank you in advance for your help

PS : the type of hair im trying to achieve is the messy fringe haircut for males picture :

Also if there is a easier way to discuss with the community such as a discord or something please send me the invite thank you
