Can black women have blonde-haired children?

Question

What are my chances of having a blonde-haired child? My husband is white with dirty blonde hair (his mother has blonde hair and his father has dark brown hair). I have jet black hair and so do my parents. All his siblings have brown hair. All my siblings have black hair. We do not have any children yet.

Answer 1

It is very possible because your husband is white w/ blond hair and so is his family. If your baby has black hair and he/she gets married to a black man/woman and they have children, there is a high chance of them having a white baby or a black baby w/ blond hair. It is all in the makeup of their genes and yours. I actually think it is pretty cool how our genes work and are built.

Answer 2

I can attest to this and it is true....you have a good chance of having blonde haired or light brown haired children as opposed to a bi racial white and Cherokee mom and black dad.My kids are mixed all 3 same dad and all 3 have brown hair and blue eyes,but different hair textures.My cousin's kids(he is white with blonde hair and she is blacker than tar w/nappy hair lol) and they have dark blonde curly hair with blue eyes The oldest girl has straight hair..He's kids are lighter than mine,but still carried his traits.He's last son looks damn near white and yep..i watched him come out of his momma so i know he is hers.So if you think it is not possible....anything is possible...and they are NOT ALBINO!Albinos have NO skin or hair pigmentation.It's all genetics!!!

Answer 3

I think they will have bark brown hair maybe with reddish tones. It's possible to have them with blonde hair because of his ancestors but theres very little chance. For those that say it's impossible no it isn't, I worked with a man who is black, wife is white and their daughters all have beautiful, curly golden blonde hair.

Answer 4

It is entirely possible, but rare. I don't know what the stats are though. I've seen inter-racial children (black/white) with blond hair before.

Check this article out. I think you might find it interesting (and it's entirely true!).

Answer 5

Brown dominates. But theirs a 25% chance your baby will come out with blonde hair. Keep your hopes up.

Answer 6

If the father contains a recessive set of genes for blondness and the mummy contains a dominant set of genes for blondness, 25% for each newborn, yet neverthelss, that's quite unlikely.

Answer 7

Hi i reside in Panama...the melting pot of the latin area...let me tell you it is possible. Contrary to what the experts here tell you...i have seen chinese babies with blonde hair and they have a black father and mixed chinese/white woman for a mother, i have seen black mothers who married white men and the baby is a coffee colour with sandy hair...my boss who is black and male married a white woman and they have 3 kids, one black with dark hair, one white with dark hair, and one darker skinned with really light brown hair. So yes , it is possible , depends on the stronger genes.With Mother nature its anyones guess. but you know what ....your baby is going to be gorgeous.

Answer 8

the actress from the Young and the Restless is black and she had a blonde hair blue eyed daughter (yes her biological daughter) with her white husband.

Answer 9

Its less than a 25% chance, but it is certainly possible! And they dont have to be albino.

Look at Mariah Carey..... shes half black half white http://photos.lacoccinelle.net/71/97/17197.jpg

Answer 10

if your mixed with something like black dutch or white or some other ethnic group because my brother son has blond hair green eyes he still young though but they could change and he is mixed with black dutch native American black and white so it might stay
