@Han_Lucas some do and some don't. (I think there are less people who have natural curly hair among Koreans). I have natural curly hair tho.

I think its standard is different, because the properties of hair is a little different between races, and also we style hair, so it is hard to recognize original form. In my veiw, many have curly hairs but its level of bend is comparatively very low.

@Ghim@Bellsnow Thank you for your answers! I asked that question because I always thought that people from Asian countries such as Korea, Japan, etc. have mostly beautiful black straight hair and I was surprised when I started watching videos on yt where actually a lot of Koreans had curly or wavy hair. That's why I was curious if it's natural or just people like to style their hair that way. I personally have curly hair, so I was always a little jealous of those long straight hair 😅

@Han_Lucas
for me
Japanese have straight hair when i go to japan, but that is not natural. I guess They do something in the hair shop
I was so curious and still curious 😂
If you look at the people who have straight hair like silk on the TV or on the street
I am sure thats not natural.
Every body was doing something
At least they use a hair dryer !

@language_learner0101 I think you may be right, nowadays everyone is doing something with it's hair so it's really hard to guess whether it's natural or not 😉@Lala4 I think he styled his hair like that but it suites him ☺@Bellsnow Thank you! 😊😊😊

Hi ! I’m korean and I have very curly hair and I got it from my dad ☺️☺️ My mom has very straight and shiny hair but I didn’t inherit it because curly hair is dominant I think

@haimee I'm Polish, but I have the same situation - my mom has straight hair, my dad has curly and I & my sister inherited curly hair while my brother got more straight/ wavy kind of hair. So I guess curly hair is dominant indeed 😉 But you should feel unique, I haven't seen many Koreans with naturally curly hair, it's like you won a lottery 😉
