My identical twins have two different head shapes and hair colors?

Question

We know they’re identical since there was only one placenta when they were born. But how is it possible for them to have different hair colors and head shapes

Answer

I love this! My boys are fraternal and mixed ethnicity. My hubby is Hispanic and has a very dark complexion. I am white. My boys came out with one looking just like their dad and dark olive complexion and the other looks just like me and Casper white lol. The darker one has very dark brown hair and the white one has dirty blonde hair like me when I was a baby. I visited family for Easter and my great aunt heard me say I had one white baby and one brown. She got mad and said I should never teach my children color. We are far from racist (obviously since we are together and 2 different ethnicities)...my intention in pointing that fact out is not to point out race but to say how cool it is. When you have mixed babies (I know you didn’t say yours were) most of the time they are both white or both brown etc. but mine are 1 of each and I love it. One was also born before midnight and one after so they also have different birthdays. Everything about them is unique and I love it!

Read about x inactivation in identical twin girls - fascinating!

Answer

Head shape is based off this they lay their heads so ignore that. 
Hair color again changes. A baby can be born with white hair and by 5yr their hair can darken. Or your baby can be born with dark brown hair then by 14 months old become blonde... hair falls out and regrows. Again. Ignore it till they are older.
