Yes, curls do lose shape over time. 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.
A good hair care routine is necessary to keep curly bundles fresh-looking. Instead, wash with sulfate-free shampoos, condition regularly, apply leave-in conditioners or curl creams for curly bundles, and air-dry or use a diffuser instead of blow-drying to retain curls without frizz. Curly bundles should be kept in a cool, dry place when they are not in use. It should be placed on a hanger or preferably in a silk bag so that it's not tangled or flattened.
Curly bundles may lose their shape in due course, but proper care and maintenance can help increase the life span of these curls while keeping the curl pattern defined. Investing in good quality bundles and following a consistent care routine will help you keep the look and shape of curly hair bundles for months or even years.
