hair follicles of people with straight hair are round, people with wavy hair have oval follicles and curly haired people have straight follicles. Your hair follicles are inherited from parents and grandparents

People have curly hair because sometimes, the dead cells inside your head (your hair) may not grow evenly through. It doesn't mean that straight hair is better than curly hair, or the other way around. Don't feel bad if u have curly hair! All it is, is that your hair may not have grown evenly all the way through.

It's simply genetics. From stick straight to wavy to twisty to kinky-the texture of human hair runs the gamut. Hair's curliness (or lack thereof) comes from the shape of the bulb at the base of the hair follicle. In people of all ethnicities, a curved bulb translates into curly locks. Not surprisingly, this biological trait has a strong genetic component, although a simply inherited "hair curl" gene that completely determines hair texture has not been found and likely does not exist. Instead, variations in several genes affecting different aspects of hair development probably combine together to determine the shape of your 'do.

because if your hair curls up up when it is wet then you blow dry it and do not press it out your hair will be wavy unless you are just born with it.
