Curly hair is a dominant trait. so, there is a good chance that your kids will have curly hair if you do. As for why hair becomes curly, straight hair is rounded, the more rounded the hair, the straighter it will be. Curly hair on the other hand is flat, and of course, the flatter the hair the more of a curl it will have.I hope that is enough. thanks.
