Researcher professor Nick Martin, author of the research, said a variation in the trachohyalin gene determines the straightness or curliness of  the hair. Professor Martin also says this discovery will lead to a pill that will make it possible to grow straight hair rather than treating the hair directly to achieve the sleek look.

Honestly, knowing what it takes to straighten curly hair and maintain that smooth style, I can see the appeal of  a pill being your straight salvation. But I don’t even like the idea of doing chemical texture changes because you lose your options by permanently straightening your hair. All that aside there is something rather questionable in the possibility of changing your genetic makeup for different hair. I am however excited to see what comes of all this.

Here’s a cool little video of a photo shoot I just wrapped.

I had the pleasure of working with two awesome talents: Photographer Tracey Tesmer of http://www.TracyTesmerPhoto.com and Smoking Hot Cigar Model, Teresa of http://www.SmokingHotCigarChick.com

This is a short behind the scenes video of the shoot and some of the photos that were taken.

Enjoy.
