    TLDR Hair shape is determined by genetic, molecular, and cellular factors.
    The document discussed the biological mechanisms underlying hair shape, focusing on the role of the hair bulb in determining hair form. The research, conducted by Sebastien Thibaut and Bruno A. Bernard from L’Oreal Recherche, highlighted that hair shape is programmed at the bulb level, which influences the eventual curvature and structure of the hair. This study contributed to the understanding of hair diversity and the factors that control hair morphology.
