I was just wondering if you have a baldy to start with what the chances of the next one being bald are too or are they all completely different??

DD1 was born with a full head of spiky dark hair which is now straight, long and chesnut with streaks of blonde.

DD2 was born baldy and now has hair just like DD1's.

my two were both bald as coots up to their first birthdays. was particularly galling when my sister gave birth to a baby with the biggest shock of black hair you've ever seen. i told her she'd got my babies' share of hair on top of her own...

All three of my dds were born with lots of dark hair, but I have never seen a baby with as much hair as dd3. Still, there was a full moon the night she was born.

dd1 - lots of dark hair that stayed dark
dd2 - a fluff of dark hair that went blonde
dd3 - lots of spiky dark hair that turned to blonde spiky hair, and is just about tame-able now

DS1 nearly totally bald at birth, then had a fine covering of blond at around 18mths, he is still a bit fine on top now at nearly 3yo.

DS2 had full head of fluffy sandy blonde hair when he was born

dd1 full term and bald
dd2 - born at 35 weeks with a ring of dark hair and bald on top like a monk! but... all gone and baldy by full-term so I always wonder if dd1 actually did have 'womb-hair' until she reached full-term!

All four of mine were born with a head of hair. Dd1 strawberry blonde, dd2 dark brown, ds1 light brown, ds2 very dark brown. All now variations between blonde and light brown. Never lost any either (except for the obligatory bald patch at the back before they learnt to sit up )

dd1-mohician very funny! was dark, went light but now a lovely medium brown

dd2 - loads of hair! was jet black, then went to gorgeous ringlets, then blonde/brown curls, now light brown waves

dd3 even more hair! jet black, then some curls, now straight as a poker light brown hair.

i'm expecting this one to come out with long flowing locks down to his/her shoulders

Both of mine born with full head of hair -- DS dark brown, DD strawberry mouse (strawberry blonde would be overstating the case)
