Answering your Questions: What makes your curls lose definition by midday?

Waking up, getting ready, having a fantastic start to your day, your hair is flourishing and bouncy in all the right places.

Right as you leave, you look in the mirror, you look fabulous!

Then, you get to work and you look a mess! All that work early that morning for nothing! Well, let me tell you, you're not alone!

Curl definition is tricky to maintain, and a variety of factors may be causing your curls to lose their shape as the day progresses. Let’s explore the common reasons behind midday curl fatigue and what you can do to keep your curls bouncy and defined all day long.

 What makes my curls lose definition by midday?

Causes:

• Humidity; often causing hair to become frizzy, lose definition, and swell. Hair absorbs water, the hydrogen bonds in the hair are broken and re-formed, altering the shape of your curls. 
• Frizz; hair cuticle (the outer layer) lifts and allows moisture from the air to enter the hair shaft. For curls, this can break up the natural curl pattern, causing individual strands to separate and lose their defined shape
• Lack of hold; significantly affects the appearance and longevity of your curls, leading to a loss of definition, increased frizz, and a short-lived style. Using the right hold product can a difference, helping your curls stay defined, bouncy, and resistant to frizz and environmental factors throughout the day

Understanding these causes will help you create an effective action plan to keep your hair #FLOURISHING!

Our Solutions: 

• Castor Oil; by forming a protective barrier over the hair, castor oil helps smooth the cuticle (the outer layer of hair), preventing it from lifting and absorbing excess moisture from the air—a primary cause of frizz.
  
• Jojoba Oil; closely resembles the natural sebum produced by your scalp. This similarity allows it to blend seamlessly with your hair's natural oils, creating a protective layer that helps lock in moisture.
  
• Aloe Vera Gel; has a gel-like consistency that provides light hold to curls, similar to a styling gel. This natural hold helps to set and define curls without the stiffness or build-up associated with some commercial gels.
