Is a child born with curly or straight hair, or can straight hair go curly later? My 6 month old DD has straight hair and I am wondering if it will get curly later.

- Was virtually bald til 2 or 3. Just thin fuzz, barely visible. Then got very thick, very curly, frizzy hair, still like that. Same pattern with sev. kids. Was told might change after preg., get straighter. Didn't happen.

- My hair didn't get curly until I hit puberty (and it became really curly) and then it became much straighter after pregnancy.

- OP - Thanks for the answers. My DD is also mixed (Indian/White). I'm the white part and have very straight hair, it sounds like I might need to learn how to take care of curly hair :).

- My hair was curly as a child, then was stick-straight in pre-teen to early twenties. Now it's this horrible mixture of the two. It can't decide what to do.
