Science has concluded that there’s a genetic explanation–the Frizzled 6 gene–for oddly behaving hair. Despite that enlightenment, there’s still a bit of mystery associated with hair.
For instance, after years of trial-and-error grooming efforts, my daughter has fixed on some techniques that work most of the time to tame her curly locks.
No. 1: Don’t brush your hair–ever. This just makes it expand to solar system dimensions.
No. 2: Time the shampoos carefully. Evening is best, but don’t go to sleep with wet hair because then you risk the bed-head factor.
No. 3: Periodically bend from the waist and shake your hair, then straighten up and push the curls back from the face with both hands.
She can’t tell me exactly what No. 3 accomplishes, but her curly-haired roommate was duplicating the maneuver after living with my daughter for only a few months.

So it turns out that hair behavior is not only genetic, but also infectious.
