Thread: which side of the family do you get your hair from?

  1. #1

    Default which side of the family do you get your hair from?

    Texture, color, thickness/thinness, etc.

    I get my thickness and wavy/curlyness from my mom's side; I get my color from my dad's side.

    I think I got my thickness and color from my dads side, the texture from my mom. She started out as a wavy 2a, and now she has cute wurls.

    Texture: I'm not really sure. My mother tells me her hair was never as fine as mine is, even when she was my age, and it doesn't run in my father's side either. Neither side has much waviness either, but since I managed to get mother to go cone-free, she's noticed more wavies so who knows.
    Colour: My mother; auburn-ish brown. If I go silver the same way she has, it'll be all at the front, and dark at the back. I'm hoping I'll get it either evenly or go silver all over.
    Thickness: Both sides.

    Insane thickness and texture from my dad's Korean side, waviness and auburn color from my mom's Scottish/Austrian side. My sister got the reverse: stick straight, dark korean hair combined with thin fine texture from mom!

    The patriarchal line I believe.

    My moms! My dads side is pretty curly, and dark for the most part. My mom had blonde hair when she was younger, like I did, and it grew into a dirty blonde like mine is now. Hers was also pretty straight, but it seems to have gotten curlier as she's gotten older. I believe I also get my thickness from my moms side, but I'm not too sure about that.

    I'm adopted so technically neither side. I'm just about the only person in my family with dark brown hair. My cousin is adopted too and her birth family must have had the magic hair genes because her hair went from BSL to waist in 4 months! I'm so jealous! She chemically dyes, straightens, blow drys and still it grows like a weed.

    I have two-textures of hair, so take my mom's hair and my dad's and cram them all on one head. Then the color is all from my father's side.

    Colour from my mom, everything else from my dad. I have the typical wavy, coarse, fishing-line thick strands so typical of natives here on the coast. However.. most of them have at least waist or TBL hair, so maybe it's a good sign! And my mom's barely got any greys at nearly fourty, so I may have gotten the best of both worlds.
