Red hair or black hair?

Question

I still have quite a ways to go but out of curiosity I am going to ask. My fiancé was very much a red head when younger now it's more like strawberry blonde. I have dark black hair what's the chances of my baby having my black hair?! My fiancé has a daughter from previous relationship the mom was blonde so there daughter is blonde. I'm hoping the baby will have black hair so I'll have someone look like me lol

Answer

My SO is Hispanic. Dark hair dark eyes. And I'm kinda auburn with thin hair, fair skin. Well my daughter came out looking like me. So it could go either way! But I think your baby will have darker hair.

Answer

No way to know, genetics are complicated. Dark hair is usually the dominant gene, but you're born with a mix of dominant and recessive.

I'm dark blonde with green eyes, my husband has black hair and dark brown eyes. Our older daughter has dark blonde hair and baby blue eyes and is very fair, and our baby so far has dark brown hair and blue eyes and an olive complexion.

Answer

Dark genes are dominant, reds are recessive. So there's a higher chance the baby will have darker features.

Answer

Even if babe is born with light hair, it could always turn!! My sister was platinum blonde until she got older and her hair is the darkest shade of brown you can find now, just like mine.  I think my son is going to be the same.  His hair was strawberry blonde at 3 and is now slowly getting darker and darker brown.

Answer

You have to have red hair on your side of the family (in combination with his) for your child to have red hair. If you do then chances are you'll have a red head. If not, dark!

Answer

I have dark brown hair and hubby has dirty blonde hair.. My son has light, light brown hair.. Looks like it's getting lighter and he's 11.

Answer

Red is a recessive trait, so he's got about a 25% chance of having red hair.

Answer

Do you have any red heads in your family?  If so there is a chance.  If not your little one will have black.  Keep in mind it may come out light early.  My brother was the blondest little boy, but after he had his first hair cut he went jet black.

Answer

We are on the same boat. My kids birth mom is a blonde my husband is a ginger kids are blondes. I have black hair I want a little ginger but highly unlikely.
