As an Asian, I have poker-straight hair. Like most Asians. Yet my father has curly hair. None of us kids inherited that particular trait. My mother and grandmother permed their hair so they could have curls. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to have curly, wavy hair. There were several occasions of perms in my misguided youth. When I have the time, which is very rare these days, I take a curling iron to my hair to give it a hint of a curl. All temporary measures because my hair is thick and straight.
Except, in my late-thirties, after I've learned to embrace my straight black hair, I've now discovered I do have some curly hair on my head. Unfortunately, they're also GREY!!!!
How utterly depressing....
