Non-Frizzle. Here is Banty the 6 year old barred old English game hen! She started her molt in June and is still growing the feathers back in!

Not an entry, but this is Silver, the dad of my avatar, he would molt and look like he was not wearing any pants and then he would chase the hens. Not very handsome at all. His babies were very lovely though.

My poor baby Domino went through a hard molt during a 115 degree heat wave in Portland. So happy she survived but she was looking haggard for quite a while

Now THAT is a molt. Excuse my saying, but up to this post, I haven't seen a bird looking unattractive, they must be all Cyndi Crawfords in normal life if that is their 'bad hair day' look.
