This is NOT another paper that shows one sad curly example after a dozen pages of straight hair. Those are obviously straight hair algorithms.

We treat hair as curly from the beginning. As a high-frequency helix, not a half-parabola.

We identify three geometric phenomena unique to highly coiled hair: phase locking, switchbacks, and period skipping.

These phenomena do NOT appear in straight hair, and thus have been ignored at #SIGGRAPH, and CGI in general, for half a century.

There has NEVER been paper at #SIGGRAPH on Black, Afro-textured hair in its entire 50 year history.

UNTIL NOW.

We introduce CURLY-CUE: GEOMETRIC METHODS FOR HIGHLY COILED HAIR. When you STOP assuming straight hair is a universal baseline, lots of new science opens up.
