Babies hair color?

Question

Why are some babies born with blond hair and as they grow older it gets darker?

Answer 1

Usually you can't be able to tell for sure what kind of hair color and texture a baby will have until after the first year. Some babies are born with straight hair and then it becomes curly after a year and some babies are opposite. This is also true for skin color. My daughter had black black hair at birth and now she is 9 months old and her hair is a medium brown color and much lighter than from birth. Also when she was born she was very dark skinned but now she just looks like she has a good tan and her skin has lightened too and her cheeks are even pink! All babies are different and their features usually start to really come out as they are a year old and then parents can identify certain traits and things but at first they look like little aliens and that changes as their bodies grow and fat increases.

Answer 2

That happens a lot. Skin color changes too. Little babies are notorious for changing eye color as well, for example, most all babies are born with blue eyes.

Answer 3

It's just a part of life, like my lil sis was born with dark hair and it grew blond as she got older

Answer 4

Answer 5

Same reason that some of brown skinned people have light skinned babies that turn dark after while. Skin and hair are affected by the sun. For instance people who suntan...

Answer 6

It's weird right?? I guess that's just the way it goes.. Both my kids were born with dark hair and still have it to this day..

Answer 7

Because sun can affect it and once it has been exposed alot to sunshine it will darken up/ Not always though
