Some people have curly hair because their hair grows in little twists and turns, like a spring! 🌪️ It's like magic that happens inside their bodies.
Your hair can be straight, wavy, or curly, just like how flowers come in different colors. It's all part of what makes you special! 🌈
Curly hair happens because of tiny things called genes that you get from your parents! 🧬 These genes tell your hair how to grow—straight, wavy, or curly.
The shape of your hair depends on the hair follicle (the tiny pocket where hair grows). Curly hair grows from an oval-shaped follicle, making it twist as it grows! 🔄
Curly hair is caused by the shape of the hair follicle and the protein keratin in your hair. If the follicle is asymmetrical (like an oval), the hair grows unevenly, creating curls! 🔬
Genes play a big role too. For example, the TCHH gene affects keratin, which changes hair texture. Climate can also influence curls—people from humid regions often have curlier hair to help protect their scalp! 🌍
Fun fact: Scientists think curly hair might have evolved to keep early humans cooler in hot climates! ☀️
