Hello and thank you for using healthcaremagic.

The straightness or curling of hair are determined genetically in an individual. Adding new hair using hair transplant will keep them straight if they were already straight. As curled or straight has already been decided at the Base of the hair.

There is absolutely no chance of any genetic mixup. The original hair will be curly, and the new hair will be straight.

Hope this information has been been useful for your query. If you have any more queries, feel free to ask them.
Have a good day ahead.
