    Default Whose hair did you Inherit?

    When you look at your parents or even family tree. Whose hair did you inherit? and when you compare your hair to your siblings, do they have the same hair texture/thickness/length as you do?

    I told my mum today this question. Of whose hair I inherited.

    She said I had thick, wavy hair since I was born and was most similar to her eldest sisters (my aunties).

    My sister has thin hair but grows more quickly in length and she inherited my mum's hair & her youngest sister.

    I have the thick hair and my sister has the length. But Im jealous of my sister's hair because hers grows really fast and people comment on her length lol

    I'd say mine comes from my dad's side. My mom's is dark, fine and very very straight. Doesn't hold a curl well at all and on humid days it goes flat. Most of her siblings have similar hair.

    My dad's is (considerably ) shorter and smoother than mine but has body and waves. He is the 2nd youngest of 8 siblings, most of whom I've never met and all but one is male, so I don't really have that to compare to.

    My brother's is similar to mine in length and texture but his is a bit straighter and thinner.

    Dad had blonde, wavy/curly hair (he is grey now), and Mum has slightly wavy, very dark brown hair. I have my Dad's texture but the colour is somewhere in-between. I always felt a bit ripped off that I didn't get the blonde.

    Everything about mine comes from my dad. Thick, curly and blond.

    My mom has fine, silky, dark brown hair....I mean HAD. She is 80 years old.
    I should have never cut my hair! Growing again.

    Both. It's a mix between them. Not as dark as my dad not as light as my mother. Not as tightly curled as my dad or as loosely curled as my mother.

    I ended up with Mom's texture (fine and pretty straight, but it'll hold a curl well enough) and something close to Dad's color--not close enough, IMO. My brother, on the other hand, ended up with Dad's thickness and wurly texture, and OMG the shine! We have the same hair color which seems to get closer to Mom's color every year. I always look at the heads of hair on Dad's side with envy. I dyed for years to get the colors they have, but there's not much I can do about the texture

    Well, according to my grandmother and her sisters I am the spitting image of their mother, including the hair. The oldest of my sisters seems to have inherited my mom's hair, only a lot thicker. And my youngest sister has inherited my dad's pinstraight hair, only a lot thicker. The three of us together makes for a lot of hair, especially since we all keep it long. XD

    I need to say something smart here? O.o

    My hair is like my fathers' when he was younger. His hair just went black but mine didn't. My sisters' hair is very different, finer, lighter and thinner. Mine is fine too but not that fine.

    I'm adopted so I have no idea, but my oldest has her dad's exact texture and color, my middle kid has my exact texture and color, and my youngest has a mix of my husband's color but with some wave from me.
