Not necessarily. I have red hair. My Mother was a blonde and my father had dark brown hair though had blondish touches when in his teens. I also have blue eyes as did both my parents. it is genetic, not anything one can turn on or off.

Why is the hair on your head a different color than hair on your privates?
ANSWER:Pardon the pun, its in your genes (jeans). Your biological parents have passed on traits to you that they received from their ancestors and this will have an effect on your hair color. You can have brown privates and blond hair, or brown hair and a red beard. The color of the hair on your arms can also have a different color as well.
Is it possible for two parents with brown hair to have an offspring with blonde hair?
If two blonde haired people have a child the child will be blonde as everybody has two hair genes (one from each parent) and you pass one of your genes to your child, to be blonde you have to have two blonde haired genes and as you can only pass blonde genes to your child they will certainly be blonde.Source(s):GCSE science lessons Hi I am sorry to rain on your party but i believe you are incorrect. The reason why is because you can carry a trait but if you are an owner of trait then you have that trait plus others. For example my aunt has blonde hair and her hubby has blonde hair that went to dirty blonde to brown naturally. However, they have a red-head. How is this possible? Doesn't heredity have rules? I am so confussed.

No, Prince Harry is not a natural redhead. Though he was born with red hair, both his parents have blonde hair. It is believed that his red hair is a result of a recessive gene.
Why doesn't the hair on your arms grow as fast as the hair on your head?
This is because of evolution--genes control how quickly hair grows on certain parts of the body. A mutation in these genes can cause the genetic disease called hypertrichosis, which is a condition that makes hair grow much more quickly in certain areas than it usually would.

If both parents have the red headed gene would they have a red headed baby?
It is possible. Red hair is the most recessive type of hair, followed by blond. It is very possible for two red-headed parents to have a blond haired child. It is even more likely if there are direct relatives that have blond hair, as that gene would usually come out over a red-haired gene. The child may also have red-ish blond hair as they get older, as the gene starts to maifest itself. (This often happens with skin color, folowed by hair color and eye color in children as they age.)
Do girls have more head hair than boys?
