Straight hair turned wavy?

I used to have the typical super-straight Asian hair when I was young, and I loved it. But at around 9 or 10 years old, it started to get wavy, and now I have to go get Japanese Thermal permanent hair straightening at a salon just to get back that straight hair.

I love the effects of Japanese Thermal Reconditiong/permanent hair straightening, but the downside to this is that the new hair growth that comes in at about 4-6 months will make it look weird, with the upper part of your head look wavy while the bottom part is pin-straight.

Plus, it costs too much for me to get a retouch for the rest of my life.

Grr. Why does straight hair turn wavy when I got older (I'm almost 16 btw)? Is this part of genetics?

most of my other Asian friends have had straight hair ever since they were born.

when i was younger i had straight hair to. yeah wavey hair is soo.. hard to handle. my hair usually gets frizzy unless i use a frizz controll conditioner. the best way to do your hair when its wavey is to get a goo texture cream. it brings out better waves and it stays in all day... i dont even have to use hair spray! good luck with your hair, and hope you find a good product that fits you!

Interesting... I was opposite, my hair was wavy w/ some curls until I was like 7 then it turned straight and is straight now. Personally I think you should just leave your hair the way it is, if you wanna straighten it sometimes just use a regular hair straightener.

I'm a 16-year old asian girl and I used to have straight hair, but then it started to get wavy and thick. My dad has wavy hair so I know where I got mines from and I guess when we are first born and still young, our hairs aren't fully grown yet so they are straight and thin. Then they gradually grow more stronger and thicker/fuller. Does any of your parents have wavy hair? Then it's genetics. And after your hair grows out wavy again after straightening, you can always wear a lot of hats to cover that part up! That's what I do. And not just boring caps but there are many cute hats out there and so you don't have to worry about them not looking good. :]

It's hormonal, darling. Just blow-dry it out straight and use good products. Invest in a good ceramic flat iron. Don't perm! You're right...it's expensive and too high maintenace for a girl your age. You need to embrace your new look. The texture you described is perfect for straight or curly styles....you're just going to have to spend a little more time and effort than you're use to.

OMG!!! I have the same problem!! I had also really strait hair too. Everyone asked me if I had straiten it, and I was like no, why?? That was the way it was as strait. Bu yea, when I was like 10 years old, it started to curl a little. But I think it still looks cute, but I sometimes wish I had my strait hair back. But maybe it will go strait again. You have to be positive the hair type you have, not negative. Think like,oh, my hair is so cool, a little wavy. Because wavy is also cute too. I have had friends that had strait hair, and have permanent waves. You can also straiten your hair permanent. Good luck.
