Essensuals by Toni & Guy in Coimbatore has a lot of clients with hair that is all sorts of types, from very straight to beautifully curly. Products and style can change the way your hair looks for a short time, but your natural texture is mostly determined by your genes. Let’s talk about what makes hair straight, wavy, or curly, and how you can love and make the most of your own unique shape.
🌿 What Is Hair Texture?
The shape or pattern of your hair strands is called their texture. It can be broken down into three main groups:
Straight
Wavy
Curly
Coily/Kinky
Each type has subtypes based on how big the curl is and what shape it is. Your hair’s texture is determined by your genes, and it affects how it reacts to products, water, and style tools.
🧬 The Genetic Science Behind Hair Texture
Hair color is mostly determined by genes. There are two main things that matter:
Hair Follicle Shape
Round follicles produce straight hair
Oval-shaped follicles produce wavy or curly hair.
Flat or elliptical follicles lead to very curly or coily hair.
Angle of Hair Growth
It’s more likely to be straight if the hair comes straight out of the follicle at a right angle.
The hair bends and curls because its growth path is bent.
🧪 Proteins and Bonds in the Hair
Karatin is a strong protein that makes up your hair. How wavy your hair is depends on how many hydrogen and disulfide bonds it has.
More disulfide bonds = curlier hair.
Fewer disulfide bonds = straighter hair.
With heat or chemical treatments like perms or relaxers, these ties can be changed for a short time.
🌬️ Environmental Factors
Genes play a big part, but your environment can also change the structure of your hair:
Humidity can make straight hair frizzy and enhance curls.
Hard water can weigh down curls.
Heat damage can loosen curls or make hair dry and brittle
