Recessive gene of X chromosome. more common in men as they have only one x chromosome but in female there are 2 X chromosome. If one of X chromosome in female has this recessive gene, they become a carrier. If both the X chromosome in female has this gene, they show baldness

To have blond hair do both of your genes have to be for blond hair?

not necessarily.ok there are two parents each giving the child one gene. if one gene is recessive and one is dominant the dominant gene will decide the hair color. example the recessive gene is black hair and the dominant gene is blonde the child will most likely have blonde hair because the dominant gene is blonde hair. the dominant gene masks the recessive gene

What is the differencs between dominant and recessive?

Dominant genes are genes that are expressed more readily than recessive genes, i.e. if you had a genotype that was AaBb, A being for brown hair, a for blonde hair, B for brown eyes, b for blue, you would have brown hair and brown eyes as the genes for those phenotypes are dominant. For recessive genes to be expressed in the phenotype the gamete needs to have recessive genes for both "slots", e.g. AA for blonde hair to be expressed or bb for blue eyes to be expressed. Edd

Dark hair (black or brown) are considered to be dominant genetic traits over lighter colors like blonde and red. This is a very simplified perspective of the genetics of hair color. Hair color is coded by multiple genes, so this is slightly more complex in reality.
