Hair Health, Shine and Softness
CURVELINI has an excellent curl holding property and doesn’t leave the hair stiff or crunchy.
The resilience of the fibers of the golden flax and the unique composition of its seeds inspired ASSESSA to develop a new technology (DME-Dynamic Microemulsification Extraction) to extract the soluble fibers, together with the proteins and the oils. The bioadhesive polysaccharides extracted from flaxseeds present in CURVELINI form and keep beautiful, natural-looking curls, while its proteins, rich in Glutamic Acid, Aspartic Acid and Arginine condition and treat damaged hair. The flaxseed oil fraction of CURVELINI is a source of the essential fatty acid (EFA) named alpha linolenic acid, or ALA. Such EFAs are important to hair health, adding softness and shine to the hair curls. CURVELINI has excellent curl holding properties without leaving the hair crunchy or stiff. CURVELINI adds a beautiful gloss and a natural bouncy look to the curls – even if the hair is damaged and brittle.
Flax in History
Flax (Linum usitatissimum) production goes back to ancient history. Flax remnants were found in Stone Age dwellings in Switzerland. Ancient Egyptians made fine linens from flax fiber. Archeological discoveries show that the Egyptians wrapped their mummies in pure linen fabrics, which proves the resilience of this fiber to the action of time. Flaxseed is rich in unique soluble fibers, its oil rich in omega unsaturated fatty acids and proteins.
Note: Treatment of Hair with Curvelini Increased the Holding of Curls by 125% After 24 Hours, When Compared to the Placebo.
CURVELINI holds the curls for 24 hours.

Retention of Curls Image Analysis
Virgin curly hair tresses were treated with a shampoo, conditioner and leave-on conditioning formula. CURVELINI was applied at 3% in all formulas. Tresses were curled with a hot iron and kept at 85% RH and 22 °C for 24 hours. Tresses were photographed for digital analysis at times zero (initial), 4, 8 and 24 hours.
Curls Retention: Tress Area Variation
Evaluation of Sensorial Parameters: Panel Test
Virgin curly hair tresses were bleached and treated with a shampoo, conditioner and leave-on conditioning formula. CURVELINI was applied at 3% in all formulas. After the application of leave-on tresses were allowed to dry in a standardized environment at 55% RH and 22 ± 2°C for 24 hours. After drying, tresses were evaluated by 2 trained professionals (panelists) for hair softness; definition and formation of curls. Based on the answers provided by the panelists, it can be concluded that treatment with the products with CURVELINI performed better (more efficiently) compared to placebo for both evaluators, for the parameters: softness, definition and formation of curls.
Hair Gloss: Glossmeter
Virgin straight caucasian hair tresses were measured for initial gloss using a Micro TRI-Gloss glossmeter (BYK-Gardner). Hair tresses were treated with a shampoo, conditioner and leave-on conditioning formulas. CURVELINI was applied at 3% in all formulas. After the treatment, tresses were dried with a blow dryer under standard conditions until completely dried and measured for final gloss. The changes in gloss were calculates as the difference between the initial and final measures for each sample.
