Reprogram Curly Hair?
As part of my venture to find out if curly hair grows faster than kinky hair (if you make that distinction - I think they are both just curly hair), I came upon the reason why hair is curly in the first place. The people at L'Oreal determined that curly hair may be related to the shape of the hair follicle (International Journal of Dermatology pg 2-3, 2005).
In the simplest terms, a curved follicle gives curly hair as the hair takes the shape from the follicle. This research was based on African hair with the scientists trying to find out where the curvature of super curly hair comes from.
I thought the discovery was very interesting not just because L'Oreal were studying African hair (yes they do!), but also because I can visualise a time when some people may want to simply reprogram their hair follicles to make them straight. Gladly I don't think that this would get ethical approval, but I don't see it past some scientists attempting this on a rat ......................watch this space.
