Can they have a blonde haired baby?
Have a look around town next time you are out and look at the parents of children who do not have dark hair.
If you ever see a child that has a different hair colour to both its parents then you will have your answer!

It Depends Really On What Colour of hair the Grandparents Have. when you are born you get a trait from your mum and one from your dad. so you have 2.what colour your hair is depends on wether the traites are recessive or dominant. if you are given a brown trait and a blonde trait the brown is dominant therefore you will have brown hair but if you have 2 blonde traits they are both resessive and they are the same so you will have blonde hair. if two black people happen each to have a brown hair trait and a ginger hair trait and they both give the child a ginger hair trait it is possible for two black people to have a ginger child.
