Eating crusts makes your hair curly

As a child, I had naturally wavy hair, and my sisters hair was stick straight. My mom used to tell her, "If you eat your crusts, it'll make your hair curly." But she was no fool. She ate and ate them until she finally picked up on the fact that I was throwing my crusts to our dog, and yet my hair was curly. She was pretty mad. She still brings it up even to this day.

When i was about 4 my mum and aunts told me that if i ate my crusts, my hair would grow curly. i ate them and only when i was about 8 or 9 did i actually realise that it wasnt making the slightest bit of difference because my hair was curly to begin with! i even told my friends to eat it! i was so annoyed when i finally found out...

My grandfather always had really curly hair, and he would tell me that eating the crust on sandwiches makes your hair curly! He always tried to use that as an excuse not to eat the crust!

My mother told me that if I ate the crusts on both ends of a loaf of bread my hair would go curly!
It was when I found out about Father Christmas I began to doubt the truth of the crusts story.....

Curly Qs

I was always told to eat my crusts to make my hair curly. I always had naturally curly hair, but as the years went on, both my sisters hair was still straight. I was always confused by that as they always ate their crusts

My Mom told me that if I ate the crust of the bread from my lunch sandwich I would get curly hair. My brother had horrendously curly hair and looked like an idiot; therefore to this day I do not eat the crust on the bread.
By the way....I'm bald.....go figure

When I asked why he did eat the crust on his sandwich, my 7-year old nephew informed me it was because it made his hair curly. (He has extremely curly blond hair, which he hates but is the envy of every woman he meets!)

My grandfather told me that eating baked beans gave you curly hair. He also told me that if you don't eat the crusts on your bread, that your teeth will fall out.
Nice guy, huh?

Another curly hair/crusts one. However, on the basis of this, I refused to eat crusts until the age of eleven not wanting to look like Richard Simmons.

When I was little I would ask for the crust cut off my sandwiches and my friend's grandma would always tell me if I ate the crust it would give me curly hair. My hair was stick straight when i was a kid and now it's curly so maybe there is some truth to it.

I hated the crust on bread and refused to eat it. In effort to convince me that the crust was a good thing, my grandfather told me that eating the crust would make my hair curly. After consulting with my mother, I decided it was true, curly hair was good and began eating the crusts.
