Who inherits the structure and color of a boy's hair: the father or the mother?

For every parent, it's an interesting question to know where their child gets what traits from. In particular, the issue of a boy's hair color and structure becomes a topic of discussion in many families. Research in the field of genetics shows that these traits are inherited not only from the mother, but also from the father, and as a result, various combinations appear in the child.
Hair color and structure are determined by a number of genes. Black or brown hair usually has a dominant trait, meaning they are more dominant in the parental genetic combination. At the same time, blonde and red hair are usually associated with recessive genes, and they manifest only when these genes come from both parents. Therefore, boys can often inherit their mother's color or structure, because some genes are linked to the X chromosome and are passed on to the boy only through the mother.
The structure of hair has a similar complex mechanism. For example, the combination of genes that determine curly or straight hair is complex, resulting in a child's hair mixing up characteristics of both father and mother. Therefore, it is natural for a son's hair to be very similar to his father's or mother's hair, or to have a completely different appearance.
Scientific research shows that 60% of genetic factors in hair color and structure come from parents, while the rest depends on random gene combinations and environmental influences. Therefore, your child's hair is the result of a unique combination of hereditary genes not only of the father or mother, but also of both parents.
Therefore, it's unexpected but completely natural for you that your child's hair will resemble whom more. It is part of the complex and amazing world of genetics, giving each child a unique beauty.
