This depends on the alleles that each parent carries.
The woman is homozygous recessive for both eye and hair traits (I have to write a disclaimer here as eye color inheritance is not this straight forward, but we will assume that it is for this example).
If the father is heterozygous for eye color 50% of the children will have blue eyes.
If the father is homozygous for brown eye color all children will be brown eyed.
So, if B represents the allele for brown eyes and b represents the allele for blue eyes and C is for curly hair and c is for straight hair (another disclaimer here as this is another trait that is not so straight forward).

What is the probability of getting curly hair?
The probability of getting curly hair depends on whether your parents do or not. Hair genes are decided by the mother. So, if the mother has curly hair, more than likely the offspring will as well. If the father has curly hair and the mother does not, the probability is considerably lowered.
