The Science of Curly Hair

Hello Ladies!

If you have curly hair, you know that it comes with its own unique set of challenges. From frizz to tangles, there's a lot that can go wrong. But have you ever stopped to wonder why your hair is curly in the first place? Today, we're taking a closer look at the science of curly hair to find out.

What Causes Curly Hair?

Contrary to popular belief, curly hair is not caused by humidity. In fact, humidity can actually make straight hair curlier. So what does cause curly hair? The answer lies in your genes. Curly hair is determined by a gene called Trichohyalin. If you have this gene, your hair will be curly. If you don't have the gene, your hair will be straight. It's that simple!

Why is Curly Hair More Prone to Frizz?

If you have curly hair, you know that frizz is an all-too-common problem. But why does it happen? The answer has to do with the structure of your hair follicles. When your follicles are oval-shaped, your hair is more likely to be straight. When your follicles are round-shaped, your hair is more likely to be curly. And when your follicles are damaged or misshapen, your hair is more likely to frizz. That's why people with curly hair often have to work harder to combat frizz. Fortunately, there are lots of great products on the market that can help!

So there you have it! Now you know a little bit more about what makes hair curly—and why curly hair can be so challenging to manage. If you're struggling with frizz, remember that there are lots of great products out there that can help. With a little bit of trial and error, you'll find something that works for you.
