I have dirty blonde wavy hair that was very blonde when I was a kid and hazel eyes. My wife has brown straight hair and brown eyes. My son got the blonde hair but it is very curly, he also has bright blue eyes he is 16 months now. Is this an unusual genitic inheritance case? Did he possibly get the curly hair from a more distant relative?
