Why do i have straight hair and my parents have curly hair?
Different Genes.
Does it mean I'm not the father my partner and i has curly hair but your grown child has straight hair?
Not at all. The curly-hair gene is dominant, meaning only one of the two genes for hair curl has to be set to "on" to give you curly hair. For the heck of it, C is curly hair and c is straight hair. If you are Cc (one curly gene, one straight) and your partner is Cc, you have a 25-percent chance of producing a straight-haired kid: the child could be CC, Cc with the C gene from you, Cc with the C gene from your partner or cc. And in this case, the child is cc. So yeah, you and your partner definitely could have produced a straight-haired child.

What type of hair will two curly hair parents have?
Yes! It's more likely that the child would have straight hair, but it's all about the genes. Likely both of the straight-haired people have straight-hair dominant genes; if that's true, then there's about a 25% chance that the child would have curly hair. If the parents or even grandparents had curly hair when they were younger, it's more likely as well. For example -- both of my parents have straight hair (but my mom had curly hair when she was younger) and my sister has straight hair as well. I turned out to have curly hair.
What is hair and why is it straight or curly?
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.
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.
