However, the speed of losing this shape is based on many factors: quality of hair, how well it's maintained, and how frequently it's styled. High-quality curly bundles are made of virgin or remy hair, which can retain their curl patterns for longer periods than synthetic hair. This is because the hair is less prone to tangling and is better able to resist environmental effects. Yet, even with such good quality packages, one still needs to care for them constantly in order to maintain their shape.
The gradual loss of the curl pattern or becoming frizzy can be influenced by factors such as heat, moisture, and products used during styling. Most of the time, the constant use of hot styling devices like a flat iron or a curling wand may end up negatively impacting the actual structure of natural curls, therefore weakening it. Humidity can only impact curls either through their being frizzy or very unmanageable, more so during highly humid environments.

Wavy bundles of hair hold a loosely patterned curl that tangles much less and uses fewer products. Curly bundles, having tighter curl patterns, can be prone to tangling, dryness, and frizz, which means they usually need more frequent moisturizing and detangling.
You can often use this kind of hair for a wash-and-go look because, when you wash it, after you have dried it in either its natural wave or scrunch, you do not really need too much styling or product to look good, a thing that can save time for those who would not like to keep a more complicated hair care routine. Wavy hair always holds up just fine without being restyled all the time, so it is ideal for busy people.

Naturally, curly hair has a curl pattern that creates loops and coils; thereby curl patterns are more likely to induce friction and knotting. The tighter the curls, the more likely the strands are going to tangle up and mess up with each other. Straight hair has a smoother texture; it tends to just lie flat on the head with minimal tangling and rubbing of strands.
Dryness also causes tangling in curly hair bundles. Cuticles push up on dry hair and create a face that a tangle will easily form. Leaving emollients applied to the curls, such as leave-in conditioners, serums, or oils hydrates the curls and limits how much tangling will occur in bundles.
Another is the density of the curly hair that tends to be very voluminous. This also means that there are more strands around each strand, and therefore, the possibility of tangling is increased. This can be avoided by detangling regularly with a... less
