kids and curls
What is this I hear about kids born with really thick curly hair
losing curls after a year or so? I heard my mom say that I was born with curly hair but after I had my first haircut I totally lost them. I saw a little girl in our neighborhood. When we first moved in, she was about two years old. Beautiful curly hair. Now she's four and all her hair has straightened up. Same with my nephew. Changed after two years or so. Anyone knows why? Thanks. |

My daughter is almost 6 and still has super thick, curly blonde hair after many many hair cuts. I spent the first 2 years of her life wishing it would go straight. Denise |

Two of my girls have curly hair. It is only straight when we blow dry it.
Otherwise, it is curly. -- Sue (mom to three girls) ted wrote in message om... What is this I hear about kids born with really thick curly hair losing curls after a year or so?

My mother in law tells me that my husband had lots of curls until he was about 2 and then it went straight until he hit puberty and then it got all curly again. I'm expecting the same thing to happen with my oldest son's hair since his was curly ringlets when he was little. He's nine now and it's showing signs of getting wavy when it gets long (which is why he likes to keep it short). Leigh |

Apparently it has to do with texture and weight of the hair as babies. As soon as the curls were cut they were gone forever. -- Patricia Cecilia Pichardo Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 Email: |

Many straight-haired people's hair comes in curly after chemotherapy, but usually those curls don't last. I was just going to mention that I used to work with a woman that experienced this. Her hair stayed curly though. -- Nikki Mama to Hunter (5) and Luke (3) |

... I've sometimes seen it go the other way -- kids born with straight hair gradually developing curls. Both my girls were born with straight hair and it was mostly straight till about 12 months old and then, it started to get curly... My eldest has really curly hair and looks like a mess when she wakes up - half the time she looks like Kramer the other half Krusty the clown.. The youngest hair is straight on top and really curly at the back... -- Kelly Mummy to Emily (12 Aug 01) and Isabella (5 Dec 02) |

My daughter is almost 6 and still has super thick, curly blonde hair after many many hair cuts. I spent the first 2 years of her life wishing it would go straight. IIRC, there are two different genes (at least) that control hair curliness - one for curly and one for wavy. DHs family all has very curly hair (well my FIL was bald so I don't know about him, but dh and his mom and sister had kinky curly hair - his brother has straight hair). My MIL told me that my SIL had curly hair until she had a high fever with some one of the childhood diseases when she was about 12 and that her hair was straight for awhile after that. My mom has wavy hair, and so do I. My sister's hair is straight. Of my children, dd#1 has kinky hair, which it is impossible to do anything with - she was born bald and stayed bald until after her first bday. DD#2 has hair that's is not as curly and can be styled. She had hair when she was born but not curly. DD#3 has hair that's curlier than dd#2 and not as curly as dd#1. She was also bald as a kid. Her dh has curly hair which he keeps cropped short so it doesn't curl, and her ds has the same kind of hair and ditto and her dd has hair much like she did as a child. Both these babies were bald (which I prefer) My ds OTOH had dark straight hair when he was born, and it came in blond at the roots but stayed straight. grandma Rosalie |
