Help me save my curls!

Hello ladies (and gents?),

I am losing my curls and I am not happy about it. My hair is 3A/B, it is soft and fine, it has a definite coil but would loosen up naturally by the end of the day.

I have been using a homemade gel/styler my friend makes, leave-in conditioner, and since April I started coloring my hair (every 30 - 40 days) with Naturtint dye kit (ammonia free).

I have noticing that my hair is no longer soft especially the top layer, the curl is loosening, and it is just not my cool hair I love.

Any ideas/thoughts, tips?

Thank you
Ayah

There are few possible reasons for curl loss: a) structure changes, too much protein for example can alter curl pattern; b) weight, heavy products and even growing out hair can cause hair to be weighed down and straighter; c) damage, overmanipulation/excessive heat/etc can alter curl pattern.
