Question

I'm a red hed - what are the chances of my unborn child having the same? My partner has brown hair.?

Answer 1

She my be lucky like me and have "auburn" The sexiest colour ever...it's reddish brown.

Answer 2

Are there any redheads in your partner's family? Your little one will need to get two copies of the gene for red hair - he/she is bound to get one from you, but to have red hair she needs to get one from him too.

Answer 3

it could be red brown or blonde my auntie was blonde and my uncle brown my cousin was red

Answer 4

I found out through research that Red hair appears in people with two copies of a recessive gene on chromosome 16 which causes a change in the MC1R protein.  I'm a redhead myself and my husband's hair is almost black.  Our little boy has blond hair with a hint of red in the sun.

Answer 5

I have dark blonde hair.

My children's dad has red hair.

No one else in his family has red hair except way way back....

MY mom AND sister have red hair.

MY dad's mom had red hair.

Both my kids have red hair..I think they were destined :)

My kids dad has another child(he is married now) and they have a 2 year old and He has red hair too. Im not talking flaming red Im talking they all have pretty strawberry blonde red. Except my paternal grandma had bright red.

But Im thinking red hair is a strong gene. The chances your baby having red hair is very high. Then again my mom and dad's mom have red hair and I dont. So...

Im not a professional but Im a red head proffesional ;)

Answer 10

what you going to tell your "partner" when the baby is born with an afro?.

Answer 11

Your baby will probably have dark hair.  Red hair is a recessive gene. I actually read an article somewhere saying that redheads will eventually be "extinct".  Every year, there are fewer and fewer redheads.  They say it takes 2 redheads to make one.
