Struggling to tame your unruly hair? Research shows you can thank your parents' genetics. Scientists have pinpointed three genes that make hair notoriously difficult to manage.
A mutation in any of these genes alters the hair's cross-section from round (straight hair) or oval (wavy/curly) to heart-shaped. The result? Fluffy strands that stick out everywhere and resist brushing.
Sound familiar?
According to the researchers, this genetic quirk is uncommon. Fingers crossed it's just a bad hair day for you.
