Brown.

My two were both born with black hair. Then by the age of 2 it had changed to light blonde. By the time they reached their teens it had changed to mid brown.

Trouble is, a baby's hair at this stage gives no prediction of what they'll grow up to have.
My nephew looked a lot more ginger than his sister, but that was cradle cap and he's now md-brown while she's got the red hair.

Apparently I had thick black hair when I was born; sadly, it's now fine mouse (well, it's naturally mouse...).

What do the people who've seen you DC think? It's something that's easier to see irl, I think.

Looks brown to me.

One of my babies was white blonde, now almost brown aged 5.

The other was born brown and now lovely golden ringlets at 3.

Things change! I would die for red hair like my aunt, personally.

Looks like they will be blonde but hard to say for sure.

My redheaded children had obviously red hair from birth, much tedder than that, so I say no not ginger.

Hazelmazel · 08/02/2021 15:42

Agree, looks like light brown with cradle cap.

Ewanthescreamsheep · 08/02/2021 15:41

I see cradle cap, which can give an orange tinge. Hair just looks brown - but every chance it will fall out with the cradle cap, and baby hair often changes colour.

Reddish blonde

cherriesx3 · 08/02/2021 13:43

hmm, I actually think it's strawberry blonde.

If it is, lucky baby! it's a beautiful hair colour.

sleepyhead · 08/02/2021 13:37

Absolutely no idea. Brownish I would say.

Strawberry blonde is just a way of saying ginger for weirdos who think there's something wrong with red hair.

pistachioglace · 08/02/2021 13:33

Neither, it's brown.

kateybeth79 · 08/02/2021 13:28

As PP have said, my friend's baby was born with almost jet black hair, by the time she turned 2 it was the most gorgeous sunkissed light brown! And 9 out of 10 blond babies hair darkens by the time they turn 9 or 10.

Looks like brown hair with cradle cap to me.

JustCallMeGriffin · 08/02/2021 13:25

The crown looks dark blonde/light brown so far...it's hard to tell when they have so little hair. Both of mine kept us guessing for a colour until their hair came through better.

Ginevere · 08/02/2021 13:25

I see neither, just blonde.

Why do you care?

RichAssWhoopin · 08/02/2021 13:24

It doesn't look either and I really wouldn't worry because

A. There are so many more important things than hair colour
B. Whatever colour it is it's unlikely to stay that way

I hope you're not fearing a child with ginger hair that would be sad.

Kittykat93 · 08/02/2021 13:20

Does it matter?it's a baby..their hair colour will change rapidly anyway
