Are you a ‘curly hair’ craver?

Watching people with a head of bouncing curls, wishing you could have had that delightful, bobbing curly mop, instead of your poker straight hair?

A situation out of our hands, since our family genes dictate whether we are born with curly hair or straight hair.

The gene is known as trichohyalin. Certain properties like amino acid, in this gene have the capacity, if changed in strength and texture, to make hair either curly, or straight.

So if through various medical studies and tests, the amino acid compound in the trichohyalin gene can be changed, such results can straighten Natural Curly hair, or make straight hair, curly.

At present, people who have curly hair, and wish to straighten the same, may use straightening rods, or certain chemical to get the job done. Now, if changes can be made in the trichohyalin gene, a pill might be invented, to do the job for you. By discovering the properties of this gene it might be possible to detect whether a baby will be born with curly hair or straight hair.

Vanity and inventiveness have solved our problems of curly hair and straight hair, over the years.

Perms give us those bouncy curls, and certain chemical treatments as also straightening rods, can provide that poker straight hair look.
