The double rex is called hairless, but it's not really a true hairless, only recessive trait hairless stays completely
hairless.
As far as I know only rex and velveteens make curly coats...

No these are different than them. The guy I got mine from has never gotten a hairless rat and I've yet to get one even pairing my curliest two. I don't have any babies or I'd get a picture of one a curly one next to a normal.

As far as I know the only known genetic curly traits are rex, velveteen.

^^^^these 2 rats you show might be loose rex's, they look very much like one's I've produced.

There's another coat type that makes the fur sort of shaggy. I think it's called "harley" fur.
