Is the rest of your family curly or straight?

in Curly Teens
So I was just curious to see how many of you come from families with curly hair or straight hair. My hair is wavy/curly but I seem to be the only one in my family who has very much of any curl. I come from a big family (I have 10 siblings) but my older sisters (who are twins) seem to be the only other ones who have any curl in their hair and it is only a little bit of wave. Everyone else seems to have stick straight hair. I tried to curl my little sister's hair for her and I put in a ton of gel and used a diffuser on her hair but I couldn't even get any wave in her hair doing that.
So do the rest of you come from families of straight hair or curly hair and what does the rest of your family think of your hair?

My family is caucasian btw. Our heritage is northern european.
When I was little, my hair was as straight as my siblings, but when I got to middle school my curls started developing. I really hated it at first lol and I still have some trouble. My family likes my curly hair, but they also don't understand how hard it is to care for and style curls than straight locks.

Mum: 2a-b.
Little sister: 1c-2a with some spirals, but probably it will get curlier as she gets older since bith I and my dad had straight hair when little.
Little brother: When his hair is about 10 cm you can se a body wave so probably he would have type two hair if it grew out.
Big brother: No idea, he keeps it short.
CG with occasional schampoo-washes since April 2011

The rest of our family has straight hair.

Brother - shaved bald
Birth Feb 1984, First press 1990, First relaxer 1992, Last relaxer Oct 2006, BC Sept 2007, 4c.....
My dad has really kinky hair (4c and tighter)
My brother has curly/kinky hair (about 4a/4b), but keeps it quite short (but you can tell he has curly hair.
My sister (foster-sis) has kinky hair
I have curly/kinky hair (very little 3c, 4a/4b and a little 4c)
My grandfather (mum's dad) has 3a/3b curls
My grandmother (mum's mum) has about a lil 3c, 4a/4b/4c curls
My grandfather (dad's dad) about I think 4a-ish (but he was mainly bald)
My grandmother (dad's mum) has quite kinky hair (4b/4c)
My mum's siblings have 3a/3b/3c curls.
My dad's siblings have super kinky hair (they all have relaxed hair, by the way)
My cousins (on mum's side) all have hair types ranging from 3b/3c to 4b.
My cousins (on dad's side) all have 4b/4c hair.
I'm mixed race and all my cousins on my mum's side have a black parents so they're all mixed too. On my dad's side, there's only one white (my uncles wife) and her kids are the only ones with 3b/3c/4a hair.
I have more whites on my mum's side, I don't know them, so I don't know if any of them have straight hair, but the ones I know are all curly haired (in the 3s).
Everything I use is 100% natural. I make most of them myself because then I'm sure what's in it and I'm sure nothing's added, it's pure, it's natural.
Things I avoid: Mineral oil (codename: Baby oil), heat (I'm a total, no hair driers, no straighteners, no curling irons, no flat irons, no hot combs...nada), sodium chloride
Growing plan: At least 6 inches longer in a year.
Okay, so I'm the oldest of three in my family, and my mom told me that I was bald until I was one and half. I had like little peach fuzz. My aunts (my dad has three sisters) were pretty snobby (think cinderella's evil step sisters), and my mom had just come to America after getting married to my dad and they gave her a lot of crap about me cause I looked like a boy lol. Then one day all of was quiet in the world and BAM! I had a little coily thing on my head. WHAT NOW???!! My aunts shut the hell up after that day after their countless perms (80's) and till this day they don't admit they wish they were me lol But I've abused my hair quite a lot before this... anyway yes I am the only curly and most of the time I look adopted, but I dont mind that.:cya:
