As a geneticist with a focus on hereditary traits, I can provide you with an informed answer to your question. Hair texture, including whether it is curly or straight, is determined by multiple genes, not just one. It is a polygenic trait, which means it is influenced by the combined effects of several genes. In this context, it is not accurate to label curly hair as simply recessive or dominant. Instead, the inheritance pattern is more complex and involves the interaction of multiple alleles at different genetic loci.

It has been long established that curly hair is a dominant trait in Caucasians and straight hair is recessive.
