Yes, some babies are born with curly hair. Hair texture, whether straight, wavy, or curly, is determined by genetics. However, a baby's hair texture can change over time as they grow and develop.
- Hair changes: It's common for babies to lose some of their hair after about 6 months due to hormonal changes. They are no longer receiving hormones from their mothers through the placenta.
- Hair follicles: Babies are born with all the hair follicles they will ever have. This means that the type of hair follicles they have at birth will influence the hair texture they develop later on.
- Genetic influence: Hair texture is primarily determined by genetics. Even if a baby is born with straight hair, they may develop curls later in life if they inherit the gene for curly hair from their parents.
It's important to note that hair texture can also be influenced by environmental factors, such as diet and hair care practices.
