Anybody’s child have this hair colour?

So my 14 month old has this strange kind of pinky coloured hair. It’s not brown, it’s not red, it’s just quite pink looking. At toddler classes he doesn’t look like the blondes, brunettes or gingers. I can’t describe it to people because I don’t know what colour it is! Anybody else’s baby have this colour and what did it turn out? He has dark brown eyes, really dark eyelashes and mid brown brows but they’re quite sparse still.

Mine had what I called strawberry blonde hair. It darkened over the years till dark blonde and then brown now in secondary school.

Strawberry blonde.

Same colour as my youngest DD(just turned 1 last week) I'd say dark blonde/light brown. Hers is slightly warmer but almost the same colour.

Morgenrot25 · 15/07/2025 13:38

That was always called strawberry blond in my day, though it's technically a very pale redhead.

Thanks for your input. My hairdresser referred to it as rose gold 😂

Yes could be. Thanks for taking the time to comment! Desperate for a bit more hair to grow in to see the full effect!

Almost the same age as mine. A handful aren’t they?!

Strawberry blonde, I have several family members with this colour.

Deadringer · 15/07/2025 13:49

Don't worry about it growing, my dds hair was exactly like that, strawberry blonde and sparse, here's a recent pic at the hair dressers.

Our baby does, I call it strawberry blonde!

Yeah you could be right. Just looks very different next to blondes. Perhaps it just needs to thicken up a bit!

Thank you I will need it! Very glad eldest DD is a teenager and an easy going, lovely one at that!

My DS had exactly this colour hair until he was about 5 - and in the summer it would lighten to a vivid sort of apricot colour. People would stop us on the street and comment on it.

He's 9 now and it's only slightly darker. Most people in the UK call it strawberry blond, and when we're in the US people call him a redhead.

I imagine by the time he's 13 or so it will be light coppery brown.

He's got brown eyes, but very pale eyelashes and eyebrows.

That sounds like beautiful hair. I’m looking forward to my little one’s thickening up so we have a better idea!

TBH, baby hair colour doesn't always equal adult hair colour.
My sister was white blonde until she was about 2, then went very dark brown.
My son was warm blond and then went medium brown.
I've been brown all my life.
If it does stay strawberry blond(e) then it will be particularly lovely when the light shines on it.

My son was exactly the same colour as a baby, we often had comments about it. Even in the hospital midwives would come and have a look, he is now 27 with beautiful thick strawberry blonde hair and it does get him a lot of attention from girls! It
