What is the likelyness of my child having red hair ?

My dad and sister have red hair, but me and my brothers all have brown hair. I look nothing like my dad and take after my mum [hair colour and I look the spitting image].
My partner also has brown hair, however his sister has strawberry blonde hair, and his grandad has red hair.
What would be the chances of our child being born with red hair, we both have brown so would it still carry through ?

Answer
Red hair is a recessive inheritance pattern. What that means is that to have red hair a person must have two copies of the red hair gene (lets call it r), if they have only one copy, their hair won't be red because the second gene will be dominant over the single red one. So if r = red hair you have to have rr to actually have red hair, if you have rx (x being anything else) then you carry a gene for red hair that can be passed on to your children but don't actually have it yourself. So considering that both of your families do have redheads there is a chance that both you and your partner have one r gene each. If you have a child then IF both of you have that r gene there is a 25% chance of your child having red hair, remember that is if you both have that one copy of the r gene, which you really can't figure out from sight alone.

Overall I would say it is a small chance, but it impossible to pinpoint an exact percentage! Besides red hair isn't a bad thing!

Would I dye my hair brown first and then put a red over it? Or would I just use a dark red dye? I know it wont take as well in the ends as it will in the roots due to over processing, but I'm going to gopher it anyways! Any tips are much appreciated. Thank you.

Answer
First of all, thats not dark red. thats red. Considering your hair is the color in the first picture, if you put the color on top of your hair you'll get that color and you are right, the color will fade from the ends cause its damaged.

You might wanna use a semi-permanent. I definitely recommend adore's wild cherry. it can be found in any beauty supply store and its super cheap. Your hair will fade regardless so get use to that

Also, the girl in the picture, i believe went from black to red hair because not all of her hair is red but if you want that red, just put a semi-permanent on top.

EDIT: i just realize you wanna do it with developer. Dont do that, you are definitely not going to get a red. Get a semi-permanent, most people use manic panic but honestly i hate that brand. fades after two days! Get adore, they say its for African hair but it works for me and i dont have afro hair.
