Can a black baby have straight curly hair like white people?

Question

i dont mean if the baby half black and white. But i just mean regular African American hair with black mothers and father.

Answer 1

as a baby, true hair texture will not develop until about 1 year of age. So even a baby who may have courser hair later in life, might start with straight or wavy hair. Additionally physical traits can go back several generations. Two brown skinned parents can have a fair baby with straight hair and gray eyes, while two lighter complexioned parents can have an mohaganny or ebony skinned child. A baby can take after a great great great....grandparent. Also a lot of us have white and other races intertwind into us that we do not acknowledge or realize. Especially black americans since during slavery a lot of slave masters took advantage of some of the prettier black women and never claimed the child. So you could have white in you and not know it. And as a personal experience as a baby my sister and I both had straight hair as babies, mine still isnt as course as most and didnt get course until I was around 5. My son is half black and 1/4 white and a 1/4 spanish, and he looks EXACTLY like my husband. I hate to admit this (ill never tell my husband this) you can hardly tell he's mine. You can barely see any black in him. He's got green eyes, ivory skin, wavy hair, If i didnt see him come out of me I would be like honey did you cheat? LOL! just kidding. My husbands mother showed me his baby pictures and you literally cannot tell his pictures from my son's baby pictures apart, its scary. But really its all up to genetics and who has the dominant gene. Sometimes the dominant gene can be 5 or 6 generations back. Maybe if we ever have a little girl she'll look like mommy :)

Answer 2

Black Babies With Curly Hair

Answer 3

Both of my parents and all four grandparents are fully black and I came out with long, curly/wavy hair (that none of them or my brother have). My dad has green eyes and my grandfather's are gray. My great-grandmother said never expect a black baby to look a certain way - any random genes from way back can appear in that child.

Answer 4

Yes it is very possible. Genetics is very amazing and various traits could be displayed in children of 2 black parents since many black people are mixed with many ethnic groups and races (such as myself). Its also common for 2 black parents to have a very light child with light eyes and hair, its all about genetics!

Answer 5

of course they can. it could be due to genetics of the baby but also at that age, hair is very soft, it get harder and changes some as we get older. but as a baby i have seen that plenty of times, especially with newborns

Answer 6

i've been surfing the web more than three hours today seeking the answer to the same question, and I haven't found any interesting discussion like this. It's pretty worth enough for me.

Answer 7

if you have blonde hair it will naturally get bleached by the sun in the summer. There was this guy in my class who else had golden blonde hair that had been a medium brown near the base. When he came back to school after summer vacation, it was nearly platinum blonde!

Answer 8

Jet black hair. I have truly dark brown hair and I think dark hair looks better. I avoid really like blonde hair.

Answer 9

Sure. It's all about the genetic make-up. My nephew has hair with that kind of texture.

Answer 10

yes
