Yes, some kids are born with curly hair.
While some babies are born with straight hair that later develops curls, others are born with their curls already present. The development of curly hair is influenced by genetics and can appear at different stages of life, not just at birth.
Here's a breakdown of when curls might appear:
- At Birth: Some infants are born with clearly defined curls.
- In Childhood (around age 7): Curls can develop as a child grows.
- During Puberty: Hormonal changes can trigger the appearance of curls.
- In Adulthood: It's possible for curls to develop even later in life due to various factors.
- Unusual Circumstances: As indicated in the reference, curls can appear even in older age, possibly due to medical treatments or other unusual events.
The timing and extent of curl development varies greatly from person to person.
