Obviously if a child has pink or blue hair, that doesn't mean that either parent also had pink or blue hair.

There are several genes involved with hair color which can allow varying shades of colors. Also, hair color may change with age, especially blonds darkening.

Like many genes, there are both dominant and recessive genes with hair color.

Red hair and blond hair are both recessive genes (at least in their most common form). So, two parents could be carriers of the red hair gene, but only their child receives both genes and has red hair.

However, if the two parents have red hair, then the child should also have red hair.

Likewise, parents with brown hair can have a blond child, but two blonds wouldn't have a black haired child.

There may be more subtle issues causing an apparent mixing of hair shades.
