Butters will get curly hair under the chin as well. It us usually from slobber or drinking his water (sitcking it in his bowl). It usually goes straight when I brush it. I use a rinse off conditioner in the bath. It is like the silk therapy for human hair. Only specifically for dogs.

I've had good luck with forced air dryers, rather than a regular blow dryer one has around the home

You said he's 4 months old? He's still in his puppy coat, so give it a while before you go crazy. He's got a ton of shedding and growing to do in the next year. Keep it managable, but don't obsess over it. Think of it as a Chowlick!!!

Trooper also has kinky/curly fur under his chin - and totally because he is a sloppy drinker. You are right - just brush it out. Trooper is 13 months today.

I've got a black chow who had very curly hair under her chin and chest area while she was a puppy.
But she turned out to be such a beauty in the end.
Her mane had so much of volume (possibly from the curls), but you can hardly see any curls.
So just let nature take its course
See pics of her attached.

Wow that is a fantastic mane. And what a beautiful girl she is.
Re: help! my chowchow has curly hair under his chin
I have a similar problem with my chow. The bottom of his mane will never dry. My wife and I tried wiping it off after he drank, but we saw our efforts were futile after about a day or two of trying to do that. Is there any way to keep his mane dry when he drinks?
