A hair's "curliness" depends upon many factors; the person's hair type and the person's family heritage.
The hair shaft is the core of it's appearance. If it is "pulled" by the follicle (to one side) the hair shaft will naturally "bend" to that side.
Another (most commonly "treated") method of styling is the hair shaft that is dry on one side and oily on the other side; which normally "pulls" the hair follicle at the tip to one side.
Many external factors can effect how the hair shaft reacts. - Like I explained ^ a hair shaft reacts to chemicals (is permed) or temperatures (straightened) or humidity, which might be your scenario.

Genetics determines the shape of your follicle, which makes your hair curly!
If you don't like it, try a straightening iron (ceramic is best).
Or control your curls using a good styling mousse to tame them while preserving the pretty curl - Curl Control by Garnier Fructisse works great for me.

Hair is a filamentous outgrowth of dead cells from the skin, found only on mammals. Although many other life forms, especially insects, show filamentous outgrowths, these are not considered "hair" regarding the accepted meaning of the term.
The primary component of hair fiber is keratin. Keratins are proteins, long chains (polymers) of amino acids. Keratin proteins form the cytoskeleton (miniature skeleton within a cell) of all epidermal cells. Keratin filaments run within a cell from the inside of the outer membrane to weave a "basket" around the nucleus of the cell. Keratins are a principle part of the cells in the epidermis, hair, nails, feathers, hooves, horny tissues and the enamel of teeth.
In some species, it is absent at certain stages of life. It projects from the epidermis, though it grows from hair follicles deep in the dermis. So-called "hairs" (trichomes) are also found on plants. The projections on arthropods, such as insects and spiders are actually insect bristles. The hair of non-human species is commonly referred to as fur. There are varieties of cats, dogs, and mice bred to have little or no visible fur.
