That's interesting! I am Eastern European as well, 100% Jewish and always wondered where MY flaming red hair came from! I'm the only one in my family, however, but have not yet met a fellow Jewish man or woman with naturally red hair. My father believe it's from his mother's side but I'm not sure. It's certainly not silky straight though - very curly, in ringlets of varying levels of tightness - and rather thick. I was lucky though, never really had too much of a frizz problem. Nothing I couldn't handle anyway. I used to try to straighten it in junior high but realized that my hair looked much better in its natural state (and much healthier) and began to save myself the two to three hours of effort in the morning. I would use some "black" or "ethnic" hair product (motions and whatever other brands are deemed only for african americans) to tame it a tad and add some shine. I think Jewish hair is a blessing; I love mine!
