re: Newborn Baby's Hair when they first come out

Not for nothing but Asians have a dominant gene. So dont be surprised if your baby has your looks and hair for that matter.

Quoting ♥ D a n i e l l e:“ I hope this isn't a super stupid question and doesn't come off as offensive or racist. I'm just really ... [snip!] ... honestly never seen a African American newborn baby before, so I have no reference at all. Can someone tell me what to expect?”

it's usually so short that it doesn't have room to curl. my fiance and i both have super curly hair and our daughter's is straight. she's 1 month old now and it sort of looks like it's getting a little wave to it. there's really no telling what your baby will inherit. but it's such a neat surprise when they arrive  

Oh yeah, I have another friend that is mixed (Korean and black) and her hair is very thick and curly. I dont know what it was like when she was first born though.

Thanks for all the replies ladies! I've always thought she was gonna end up with curly hair because of daddy, but he kept on insisting all babies are born with pretty much straight hair or wavy at most, but not curly, so just wanted to know if that's true or not, since all the newborn babies I've seen in person are Asian with stick straight hair.

Another question: Are babies usually born with lighter skin then darken over time? That's what he's telling me too. Again, I don't really mind how she will end up when she's older, but just curious what to expect when she's born. Thanks again!

sum babies do and sum babies dont..it all depends..then your baby is goin to be mixed.not all mixed babies are light skinned..my lil sister is half black and half mexican and we're the same color...so it jus depends..not all babies are the same!

again , my daughter is mix . she is very LIGHT complextion . but she has started to gain her color .

My husband is from africa and our baby came out with tons of straight black hair. When he gets a bath his hair turns curly but then it will go straight on its own again.

my daughter came out looking like she was full mexican and i am pasty as hell and my son came out a little lighter than she did and is just getting his color now.

My husband is really dark black and im pale white. My son came out looking native american lol.

My daughter is half chinese and white. Her hair is straight like mine but shes only 4 months so its kind of hard to tell now. Her daddy's baby pics that i have all show that he had straight hair but towards 4-5yrs old is when you can see that its somewhat curly. He also was born with blue eyes and blonde hair and it changed to hazel and brown. Lately ive notice that her hair has gotten much lighter too. So in my opinion, you really wont know until your baby is a little older.

Awww thanks! That's so sweet of you, not stalkerish at all. You made my day!  

So I'm gathering that babies are generally born with straighter hair and get curlier over time (if at all); and born lighter then get darker over time. I guess he wasn't lying to me then, LOL.

There's no telling how my little girl will grow up looking like, but I just wanted to know the general trend of how non-Asian newborn babies look like since I've never seen one in person. All I know is my little sisters looked like little red goldfishes when they were born.  

oh btw, I just remembered that one of my friends recently had a baby whose now 8months old. He 's laos and blk mix and he came out with black curly hair with light skin. He was the cutest little baby ive seen. So best of luck with your pregnancy hun and enjoy your cute lil belly.

I was WHITE when I was born. My moms black and my dads white. But before I turned 1 i darkened up.
