Hair
straighteners may soon be history, claim scientists who have discovered a
“curly hair gene”.
It is hoped the breakthrough
could lead to a pill to make hair straighter or curlier, rendering the must-have
beauty accessory redundant.
Researchers also believe that the
discovery could make it possible to predict whether a baby will have straight or
curly hair, reports
The Daily Express
.
At Australia’s Queensland Institute of Medical Research,
researchers identified the trichohyalin gene as mainly responsible for creating
curls.
Curly-haired lead researcher Professor Nick Martin said:
“Potentially we can now develop new treatments to make hair curlier or
straighter. Also, we could predict whether it was more probable that a baby
would have curly or straight hair.
“We might be able to refine
identikit pictures from DNA samples left at a crime scene to say whether the
suspect had straight or curly hair.”
