Why do some people have curly hair while others have perfectly smooth hair? There is a scientific explanation for this. It all depends on the shape of the hair in cross section.
Scientists conducted comprehensive studies of the structure of the hair of different people, which led to conclusions about why hair curls. If you cut the hair and look at its section under a microscope, you can see what shape it is: perfectly round, slightly flattened or distinctly oblong.
Hair with a strict round section, as a rule, is very coarse and even. Usually they are black, dark chestnut, occasionally reddish. These are typical of Asians and residents of the Middle East. An oval (elliptical) section makes the hair curly. The more pronounced the "flattening" of the hair, the more distinct its curliness. A classic example of the maximum severity of this trait is the dark-skinned inhabitants of the Earth. Europeans are more characteristic of a soft section and light shades of hair: from dark blond to blond. Most often, their hair curls only in childhood.
Also, the presence of curls is determined by hair follicles. If the follicles are curved, then the hair will be wavy. And if the shape of the bulbflat - straight.
Usually, if one of the parents has curly hair, then this is inherited by children. The property of hair to curl is the dominant feature, passing to the firstborn. However, curly hair can be influenced by many factors. Everything is determined by the state of human he alth. For straightening curls, for example, can lead to a disease, exposure to chemicals.
Owners of silky hair can afford to take less care of them. A haircut for straight hair is a great solution that will allow them to be easily styled, quickly combed and washed. This is a feature of straight hair - to be even, not to bulge, not to get out of the hairstyle. If the hair is curly, then you need to monitor them more carefully so that they are in good condition and look great. That's the nature's way. However, this is not a reason to be upset. After all, she gave you a rare gift - to be unique, not like the majority.
