Toss out that flat iron and cancel the Brazilian hair straightening appointment! In the future a simple pill may be all you need to change the texture of your hair. That’s what scientists are hoping to be able to brag about after discovering a major breakthrough which could get at the root of what causes natural curls.
Scientists who found the ‘curly gene’ are hoping women could simply pop a pill to make their hair straighter or curlier. Researchers in Australia identified something called the trichohyalin gene as being mainly responsible for creating curls. Those behind the research are meeting with cosmetic companies in Europe this month. We can’t wait!
Many, many years ago they had found out how to keep your natural color. That was squashed by the cosmetics companies. Too much money to be made off of products. It makes me sad. I have been coloring my hair back to it’s natural color for 30 years. I went grey very young!
