<\/figure>\n\u201cMy hair is naturally curly but won\u2019t curly anymore! How do I get back my natural curls\u201d \u2013 most curly girls at some point in their life.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve landed on this post, your once curly hair has lost its curl and you want to know how to get naturally curly hair back.<\/p>\n
The good news is that I\u2019ve been there and have successfully brought back my curls naturally and I\u2019m here to share my experience so that you can get back your curly hair.<\/p>\n There are a few reasons why your hair has lost its curl and it\u2019s very important to pinpoint the reason(s) your hair won\u2019t curl anymore so that you can take the right steps to fix your hair that won\u2019t curl anymore.<\/p>\n There are a few possible reasons why your curly hair isn\u2019t as curly as it used to be.<\/p>\n One common reason for loss of curl is damage to the hair shaft.<\/p>\n This can be caused by over-processing with heat or chemicals, or simply by wear and tear from daily styling.<\/p>\n When the hair shaft is damaged, it loses its ability to hold a curl.<\/p>\n If this is the case, you may need to give your hair a break from heat and chemicals and allow it time to recover.<\/p>\n When you use heat to style your hair, your hair cuticles are exposed to heat damage.<\/p>\n Heat styling using flat irons and blowdryers on high heat seem to be the main culprits for most curly girls with heat damaged hair.<\/p>\n Your over processed, heat damaged hair will become drier, frizzer, brittle and less manageable over time.<\/p>\n Product builder can easily be the reason that your curly hair won\u2019t curl anymore.<\/p>\n Styling your hair with too many products and not cleansing often will cause product buildup.<\/p>\n Styling with heavier products like thick curl creams, butter or gel could also cause buildup more quickly than products with lightweight ingredients.<\/p>\n The good news is that product build up is an easy fix and you may even get back your curls after just one cleanse with a clarifying shampoo!<\/p>\n Another popular reason that your curly hair has lost its curl could be due to lack of deep conditioning every week.<\/p>\n As you may already know, curly hair is proned to being dryer than other hair types.<\/p>\n Deep conditioning is the best way to give your curls the intense moisture and hydration that it needs.<\/p>\n Using the right deep conditioner for your hair\u2019s current state is critically important though, which brings me to the next reason that you may have lost your curls.<\/p>\n If your curly hair is not curling anymore the protein moisture balance may be off in your curly hair.<\/p>\n Balancing protein and moisture in your curly hair is important for it to be healthy and well defined.<\/p>\n Too much protein can cause your hair to be frizzy and brittle and too much moisture in your hair can cause your curls to lose its definition.<\/p>\n So, depending on the state of your hair, your hair may need a protein treatment or deep moisture treatment when you\u2019re deep conditioning.<\/p>\n Here are two great articles to help you assess the state of your hair so that you can determine what your hair needs.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not sure why your hair has lost its curl, start by taking a look at your curly girl routine.<\/p>\n \ufeffHave you recently started using new hair products? switched to a new shampoo or conditioner? If so, that could be the culprit.<\/p>\n Other considerations for your curly hair care routine:<\/p>\n Using products that are too heavy or too light for your hair type can cause a loss of curl definition.<\/p>\n It\u2019s critical to understand what your hair needs and style accordingly, every time. Before you style, it\u2019s especially important to assess your hair porosity.<\/p>\n Your hair needs can also change depending on the season and weather, so take the time to note which products work well at those times.<\/p>\n You can also try a new product and note how it reacts and responds to your hair.<\/p>\n If you have not trimmed your curls in a long time, it may be the cause of your hair not looking as curly as it used to for 2 possible reasons:<\/p>\n Chances are you may just need to trim split ends or layer your hair for your natural curls to shine again!<\/p>\n Another reason for loss of curl could be due to changes in hormone levels.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also possible that your hair has simply changed with age. As we get older, our hormones change and that can affect the health and appearance of our hair.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve ever noticed your hair getting straighter as you age, you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n Many women find that their hair changes texture and loses its curl as they get older.<\/p>\n While there are a number of reasons why this may happen, the most likely cause is a change in the levels of hormones in your body.<\/p>\n It could be due to changes in your diet or lifestyle, or it could be a sign of aging.<\/p>\n When you have curly hair, you may notice that it doesn\u2019t seem to curl as much when it\u2019s longer.<\/p>\n There are a few reasons why this may be the case.<\/p>\n First, the weight of your hair can pull down on the curls and make them less bouncy.<\/p>\n Second, longer hair tends to be drier than shorter hair, which can also lead to less defined curls.<\/p>\n Finally, if you style your hair with heat or chemicals often, this can also cause your curls to loosen over time.<\/p>\n If you want to keep your curly hair looking its best, try using some of these tips:<\/p>\n -Get regular trims to avoid split ends and keep your hair healthy overall.<\/p>\n -Deep condition your hair regularly to help keep it hydrated.<\/p>\n You wake up with a head full of beautiful curls, only to find that by the end of the day they\u2019re droopy and flat. What gives? Why has your hair lost its curl?<\/p>\n If you have curly hair, and it has only just stopped curling it\u2019s time to assess your curls and examine your routine.<\/p>\n Most likely you will realise that it\u2019s due to one of the reasons mentioned above.<\/p>\n Most often your hair suddenly stops curling because of:<\/p>\n So, now that you\u2019ve assessed your hair\u2019s needs and know what your curls need. Let\u2019s look at how to get naturally curly hair back.<\/p>\n Maintaing a healthy lifestyle will ensure that your body and hair gets the nutrients they need to be at their best.<\/p>\n Always remember to drink the required amount of water for your body.<\/p>\n Trimming your curls when you notice split ends will help to retain length and your natural curl pattern.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re unsure of how to tell if you have split ends, speak with a curly hairdresser who can assess and best advise you.<\/p>\n To get your hair curly hair back, try getting a professional hair cut suited to your hair texture and shape of your face.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re brave and adventurous, you can try a DIY unicorn or wolf cut by following one of the many videos online.<\/p>\n I tried it the triple unicorn cut and I absolutely love the results. The layers made my curls look so healthy and voluminous.<\/p>\n![\"how](\"https:\/\/curlybunmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/how-to-get-back-natural-curls-10-ways-to-reset-your-curly-hair-how-to-fix-hair-that-wont-curl-how-to-retrain-curly-hair-curlybunmom.com_-683x1024.jpg\")
