According to NaturallyCurly.com, the Australian scientists that discovered the curly gene (aka trichohyalin) are now working on creating a pill that would "cure" genetically textured locks. This pill would render relaxers, texturizers, and flatirons obsolete--but it could also signal the end of luscious, Tracee Ellis Ross-type curls, forever. The thing is, if scientists can isolate the gene that causes curly hair, what's to stop them from one day reversing or removing the gene altogether? It's a chilling thought.
And I wont EVEN go into how the original comparo was to Tracee Ellis Ross, you know the not so black daughter of Dianna Ross. Really. But you know, it's Negro thinking like that why such a thing will, if produced, will be a smash hit. I already have to stomach seeing skin lightening creams, full of poison, on the shelf of the predominantly black supermarket I frequent.
