Why does the top of my hair go flat while the ends turn frizzy?

If this sounds like your wash day frustration — welcome to the mixed curl club.

Most Indian curlies don’t have just one curl type. You might have 2A waves at the crown, 3A spirals mid-length, and even a few type 4 coils near the nape. 

Add changing Indian weather - hot summers, humid monsoons, and dry winters — and your curls start acting like they belong to three different people.

Your roots flatten, your mid-sections poof up, and your ends frizz or shrink. So how do you bring them all together?

Let’s break it down, the XO Curls way. 

The Real Reason Your Curls Don’t Match

Different curl types absorb and retain moisture differently.

• Wavy hair (2A–2B) tends to get oily quickly, so it needs light, cleansing care.
  

• Curly hair (3A–3B) craves moisture for bounce and definition.
  

• Coily hair (type 4) needs heavier nourishment to prevent dryness and breakage.

That’s why, if you treat all your hair the same, you’ll end up with flat roots, frizzy ends, and lost volume.

Indian climate swings make it worse, humidity makes waves limp, winter air dries curls, and summer heat causes buildup at the scalp.

The answer? A flexible, Flax Seed-based routine powered by Hibiscus in the Hydrating Shampoo and Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, and Argan Oil in the Conditioner — a system that cleanses lightly, hydrates deeply, and softens curls for perfect balance without weighing them down.

Meet the Season-Proof Care Base: Flax Seed & Hibiscus (plus Shea, Aloe, Argan)

• Flax Seeds for hair deliver natural slip, softness, and definition.
  

• Hibiscus for hair (present in the Hydrating Shampoo only) supports gentle cleansing and shine while refreshing the scalp.

Together, Flax Seeds + Hibiscus in the XO Curls Hydrating Shampoo help unify multi-textured hair at the cleanse step, while the XO Curls Hydrating Conditioner relies on Flax Seeds, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, and Argan Oil to replenish moisture and smooth the cuticle from mid-lengths to ends.

The Mixed Curl Routine (Simplified for Indian Weather)

Step 1: Lightweight Pre-Wash Protection

Start with XO Curls Pre-Wash Oil made with Flax Seeds, Avocado Oil, Curry Leaves, Argan Oil, and Eucalyptus Oil.

Warm a few drops in your palms, apply mainly to the scalp, and lightly coat the ends. This step balances oil at the roots and softens rougher, curlier sections.

Step 2: Gentle Cleansing for Scalp & Roots

Use XO Curls Hydrating Shampoo — formulated with Flax Seeds, Hibiscus, Lavender, and Chamomile.

• Flax Seeds add natural slip and bounce.
  

• Hibiscus enhances scalp health and shine.
  

• Chamomile and Lavender calm irritation and refresh your scalp.

Focus on cleansing the scalp, not scrubbing the ends. Let the lather glide through.

Step 3: Moisture for Mid-Lengths & Ends

Follow with XO Curls Hydrating Conditioner, infused with Flax Seeds, Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, and Argan Oil.

Leave on for 3 minutes, detangling gently, before rinsing. This hydrates curlier and coarser ends while keeping 2A roots light and voluminous.

Step 4: Strengthen & Smooth Texture

On towel-dried hair, use XO Curls Leave-In Conditioner — crafted with Flax Seeds, Brahmi, Olive Squalane, and Argan Oil.

Start with a small amount on the crown and add more to the dry, curly sections. It reduces frizz, strengthens roots, and evens out the overall texture.

Step 5: Define & Protect

Seal everything in with XO Curls All Day Definition Gel, featuring Flax Seeds, Avocado, Nettle, and Argan Oil.

This soft-hold formula gives flexible definition and prevents frizz through changing humidity.

Scrunch gently and let your hair air-dry for soft, uniform curls.

Real-World Curl Care for Changing Weather

• Summer: Cleanse more often to remove sweat and buildup.

• Monsoon: Use more gel for hold and humidity control.

• Winter: Double your conditioner time and refresh with Leave-In every 2–3 days.

• Transitional months: Alternate between lighter and richer product amounts.

Because curl care isn’t about using more — it’s about knowing how much to use and where.
