Do people in Japan have curly hair?
This article explores the different types of hair found in Japan, the cultural attitudes towards different hair types, and why some Japanese people have curly hair. It is determined that straight or wavy black or dark brown hair is the most common type among Japanese people, and curly hair is caused by a combination of genetic factors and environmental influences. Traditional beauty standards prefer straight/wavy black/dark brown styles over any other type of hairstyle including curly styles, but those with curls can still achieve great looking styles if they take extra care when washing/conditioning/styling their locks.
