Yes, the way your hair grows is determined by the shape of the hair follicle that it passes through on it's way out. It's like running a ribbon over a pair of scissors. It will curl. If, as you grow, the follicles on your scalp change their shape than the hair passing through them (as it grows out) will either curl or be straight as it grows.

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.

Why would straight hair turn very curly as an adult Would medications do this?

Straight hair turning very curly as an adult can be due to changes in hormone levels, genetics, or stress. Medications can sometimes have side effects that impact hair texture, but it's less common for them to cause straight hair to become very curly. Consulting with a healthcare provider or a dermatologist can help determine the underlying cause.


Curly hair is recessive and straight hair is dominant A woman with curly hair marries a man who is homozygous dominant for straight hair. What are the outcomes for their children?

All of their children will have straight hair, as the father can only pass on the dominant straight hair allele. The children will inherit one straight hair allele from their father and one curly hair allele from their mother, but the dominant straight hair allele will mask the recessive curly hair allele.
