I was also reading that redheads are not always born with red hair....so it might take a while even after she is born!

Red hair is a recessive gene so there is a slim chance she will be red headed.

50% of my immediate family and my cousins have red hair....it wasn't too recessive for us.

Mom had brown hair, Dad had black hair, and I came into the world as a redhead thanks to that recessive gene from Mom's side of the family. My red hair and my husband's blonde hair produced two blondes.

I'm pretty sure I carry the recessive red gene, I was hoping for a red haired girl. Didn't get it, but she has incredibly beautiful hair. Mine is straight but she has lovely natural waves.

Here is another thing I find interesting. How people can have brown hair an adult, but yet were blonde as a child.

I was blonde as a child and still am.....LOL

One of my sisters was blonde as a child and has brown hair now....well....some call it a a dirty blonde but it's closer to brown than blonde in color.

Not sure why hair changes color so drastically. Blonde to dark brown.

[MaggieToo]

Dad = Blond, blue eyes (If dad grew a beard, it was reddish blond)

Mom = Dark hair, brown eyes

Me = Blond curly (from maternal grandma) , brown eyes (my hair darkened as I grew older, starting at about 5 or 6)

Ex-DH = Dark hair, blue eyes

DS = Blond straight, blue eyes,

DD - Brown straight hair, brown eyes

The first thing out of my mouth when my DD was born was "What color is her hair..please don't say red!!!"...LOL

My sister has dark brown hair, but she was really blonde as a child.

My boys were both white blonde, but their hair is kind of sandy now. It gets really blonde again if they are at the beach a lot.
