Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The shape of the hair follicle, which is inherited from our parents is the determining factor in whether our hair is straight or curly. If your follicle is round, hair will tend to grow straight, while an oval follicle will give wavy hair and a hooked or elliptical-shaped follicle will give you curly hair.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your follicle shape is partly determined by what genes you have. Your DNA might cause you to have perfectly round follicles. In this case you would have straight hair. Or your DNA might cause you to have oval-shaped follicles, leading to curly hair.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hair type 1A is super-straight. It doesn’t even hold a curl! 1A is the rarest hair type.
