ok, so i was reading the post about 'curly hair'and i have curly hair, naturally, its big and bouncy curls, not those little tight ones like in an affro, but big curls =]nobody else on either side of my family has ANY sort of curl or even kink in their hair, allllll dead straight! but it must come from like past genes or something, other wise id have straight hair too!(my mum has joked with me for years saying im the milkmans baby...he has curly hair too lol...but im very much my dads lol)just wondering, if i met a guy, married him, had kids...but he had straight hair, what are the possibilites out children would have curly hair? i thought that out of genes from curly hair, and genes for straight hair, the curly would win...thats what my mum told me, like genes for blue eyes are weaker than those for brown! as browns a more dominant colour!hope that all makes sence! LOLwas just wondering, as i want my children to have hair like their mummy!! LOLx

If I remember right, and I may not, curly hair is a dominate trait. However, as you describe your hair, from a genetic stand point anyway, it sounds wavy and a wavy haired person with a straight haired person will produce straight haired offspring. That doesn't mean the hair won't have some wave to it, just that it won't be curly at least by the genetic definition. ...I think that's right, I'm reaching back a lot of years to try and remember that.

Kk, Then your kid can have wavy hair, or curly hair. Wavy hair is made when you have straight and curly genes, but the curly hair gene is pretty strong and you could end up having a very curly haired kid. Straight... is baiscally almost out of the question. Almost.

If it helps....my step sister has poker straight hair and her husband has very tight curly hair. They have two children together. The oldest has poker straight hair and the youngest has very curly hair.
