Will My Baby Have Red Hair If The Dad Does. In my family my maternal grandfather had red strawberry blonde hair as do i. One to two percent of humans have red or orange hair.
As for the texture of baby s hair dad s genes will have a say when it comes to this trait. But my son was born with dark red hair. I have light skin lots of freckles and red hair.
The other type of melanocyte is called the pheomelanin which makes your child s hair blonde to red.
One of the types is called the eumelanin which makes your baby s hair black or brown. If on the contrary your hair colors are very different then it may have a hue between the two. This is especially true if both parents share this heritage. Chances are if one parent has curly hair it is unlikely that baby will have straight hair.
