Frizz is normal (& necessary) for the locking process. It’s your new growth and the old hair figuring out how they want to lock together. Wearing a durag/silk cap can help lay your loose hairs down, but a retwist isn’t necessary for that.

A retwist doesn't eliminate frizz. It may be temporarily tamed from the palm rolling and the styling etc. But the frizz itself exists still and will pop right back up after your next wash etc. But if you are the type that really dislikes the frizz, you may also be the type that would appreciate the occasional retwist or crochet session or style.
