If I used to have straight hair till about 25 years then a bit wavy is my genotype straight or wavy. My son is very curly and husband a bit wavy. Is that normal?

Genotype for straight hair is recessive and for curly hair is dominant. So lets suppose this: h = straight hair H = curly hair Then to get straight hair, for it being a recessive for that characteristic, your children must be hh. If they are Hh, hH, or HH, they will have curly hair You, for having straight hair are hh, your husband can be Hh or HH. If you quickly use Punnett square (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punnett_square) to see the odds of each possible genotype your children might have, you will have the following: If hh + Hh: 1) hH > curly 2) hh > straight Result: 50% chances of getting straight hair If hh + HH: 1) hH > curly 2) hH > curly Result: 0% chances of getting straight hair So, yes, it is possible.

My dad has curly hair my mom has straightwavy hair I have curly hair in the front wavy afterwards and straight in the back isn't you hair supposed one thing and not three?

well normal people have one way. and no im not saying your not normal but that's the only thing i could think of to say lol It's very common for people to have a variety of textures and wave/curl patterns on their head. It's perfectly normal! It might make it more challenging to achieve the perfect curls, but it's still possible! mine is the same. mum and dad have curly hair but mine is curly where it's short and dead straight where its long. so this makes my fringe really really curly, any layers i have mildly curly and long bits really straight. what i find works is having all my hair the same length ( either short or long, no matter) and then its all either straight or curly. or you can straighten the curly bits or curl the straight bits. its up to you. :) good luck

Her hair is naturally curly. She may add a little bit of something to help her curls stay but she doesn't use a curler or anything to create her curl.
