Best Answer

Hair is made of keratin, a protein fiber somewhat like wool. Whether hair is straight or curly is determined by your genes. The fiber of straight hair is round, while the fiber of wavy of curly hair is oval. In addition to genes, hormones also influence hair texture, and hair texture can change throughout a person's life, especially during times like puberty.
