A member asked:
My grandson has very curly hair but it is fine. his mom lets it grow out to 5 inches. can that pull on the shaft eventually make his hair less curly?

Absolutely not !!!: The features of hair curliness are triggered by complex genetic factors and are specific to the child/hair. Leave it alone and it will do what it was destined to do.
