There was likely a "curly hair" recessive gene that was getting passed through your family. They all had a dominant straight gene to counter it, but with you, the recessive gene was expressed. For example, your mom and dad were both probably 'Aa' and 'Aa'. Which means there's a 25% chance one of their kids would have an 'aa' allele, and that would mean curly hair for you.

study biology. Look up gregor mendel and it'll help you out. Possibly because your grandparents or your great grandparents had it but the gene was silenced or it was a carrier gene that hasn't been expressed yet in your parents until it was passed down to you.
Some things you might be better off not knowing, girl.
