My husband has red hair and I have brown. What are the chances that our baby will have red hair?
He is the only red head in his immediate family. He got his red hair from his great grandfather I think.
Normally hair color is controlled by many genes than can give to a wide range of colors from light blond to dark brown depending on what your parents have. However, red hair is special:) Getting red hair is actually a recessive trait that has to come from BOTH parents. Each one has to supply the gene for it to occur. Think of red hair as being the trump card of hair colors. Doesn’t matter what else you have, when the 2 come together, red it is! Now, your husband has red hair. Guess what, he has no choice but to pass on the gene:) What it’s actually going to come down to is you. Is there ANY red hair in your family at all? Anyone you can think of? The red hair gene is rare, and as your husband knows, it might take a long time for 2 red hair genes to find each other again!
However, if you are not a carrier of the gene, there is a 0 chance your child will have red hair. If you are a carrier, it’s a 50/50 shot. If you don’t have the gene, your children’s hair will be any where in the range of your hair to his family’s hair colors.
**Edit** I’m afraid the people above me a bit misguided when it comes to genetics. they have the recessive part right, but the rest is wrong.
