| Hi, I am very unsatisfied. This feeling is caused by my hair. It is curly and I hate it!!! I am a twenty five years old woman. For as long as I can remember, I had to cut my hair very shortly since the long one was not suited for me. I would like to know what causes hair to be curly. I am also interested in ways to straighten it. |

| Hi, I really do not think that you should feel the way you feel. There is nothing wrong in curly hair. It is made, like our entire organism, out of proteins. They contain sulfur atoms called sulfides. When two sulfides get together, they form a disulfide bond. If the two sulfides in the same protein are far away from each other, and they come together to make disulfide bond, a change will occur. The protein will bend accordingly. As a result, curly hair is made. The more the disulfide bonds, the curlier the hair is. As for the ways that you can turn curly hair into straight, I suggest you see a hair dresser. I can only think of hair straightener. However, it is necessary to use this gadget properly or it could damage your hair. That is why it would be best to pay a visit to the professional hair dresser who will be able to help you with your problem. |

|

I empathize with you. I have been at war with my curly/wavy/frizzy "Don King" hair for almost 50 years and have never had an opportunity to live a normal life -- no carefree days at the beach with friends -- no dating on humid nights or going out in the rain, being forced to go out (even at formal events) with a scarf on my head until I can get into the building and take it off. (My aunt once said that I look like a refugee.)
In fact, I spend so much time on my hair I am unable to work full time. If you think unmanageable, curly hair looks bad at 25, imagine how it looks when you are 60+ years old and your frizzy hair turns gray!
Curly hair is NOT normal hair; it is damaged hair. According to L'Oreal researchers, curly hair is actually "crushed" and has mechanical weakness that results in breakage.
I have had my hair professionally straighten at salons only to go out side and have it immediately return to frizzy curls.
Cury/wavy/frizzy hair is a medical/genitic problem, but a beauty issue. It is hopeless to continue to address this problem with beauty treatments. I pray that geneticists finally realize this and researchers look for a permanent cure. Until then, you should stop using hair products for European hair and try hair products for afro hair. |
