Can't you do anything with your unruly hair? From now on you can blame your parents. Scientists have discovered three genes that can make your hair unmanageable.
If you have a mutation in one of those three genes, the cross section of a hair is not round (for straight hair) or sloping (for curls), but heart-shaped. As a result, your hair becomes fluffy, stands out in all directions and/or is difficult to brush.
Does this sound like your hair?
According to the scientists, the genetic form of unruly hair is not very common. So keep your fingers crossed that you are just suffering from an innocent bad hair day.
