To put it very simply, hair grows of 2 kinds of pores. Circular and oval. When hair grow out of circular pores, they come out straight. When hair grows out of oval pores, it gets curly (cos it’s less directed, imagine it).
They just talked about this on a JRE episode and Jamie looked it up. Supposedly, they’re curly to reduce friction.
