Jasmin Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Hi my question is, is it really rare or uncommon for a person with natural blonde hair to have hazel eyes? Im a natural blonde and people are always accusing me of bleaching my hair because blondes usually have blue or green eyes...
Glider Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Not really, no. It is perhaps less common than the standard 'blond hair, blue eyes', but it does happen. Hazel is only a shade from green. Are you light or dark blonde?
Jasmin Posted June 16, 2004 Author Posted June 16, 2004 I have light blonde hair...my features used to be darker when I was little but my eyes and hair got lighter as I got older but from far away my eyes look brown, you can only see the green in them up close...
jgerlica Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Do you happen to live near high tension lines or a nuclear power plant?
Jasmin Posted June 17, 2004 Author Posted June 17, 2004 yea I do actually...and I take baths in glowing green gunge...
Glider Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I have light blonde hair...my features used to be darker when I was little but my eyes and hair got lighter as I got older but from far away my eyes look brown, you can only see the green in them up close... Then it is uncommon, but not weird. It does happen, as does that startling combination of dark brown/black hair and blue or green eyes.
blackbraniac Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 Welcome to the world of weird...hahahahaaa. In genetics, anything is possible. It's all a probablity thing. I myself am black, Irish, Native American, and West Indian. I have caramel skin, brown hair with light brown highlights with a red tint, and eyes that deside what color they want to be ranging from brown to light brown to hazel. I guess you have to look into your background :::scientist side of me kicking in::: if you are able to get a good background on yourself, you may even be able to do a semi-accurate dihybrid cross on yourself. Have fun:)
Guest mestabolite Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 Hey guys happy you discussing this, I have notice than from all my friends that recently had kids, where one of the parents have brown eyes and the other blue eyes, the kids all have BLUE EYES, as you know Bb (B=Brown, b=blue) Brown is a dominant gene and in general most of them should have brown eyes. Has anyone else notice this?
zeroth Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 I have very brown hair and very blue eyes. I get alot of comments on how rare it is, but I also have a non-blood related aunt with the same thing.
coquina Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 until I was about 6, then my hair started to darken. By the time I was in high school, it was "paper bag brown" . It was also really oily and always looked dirty. I started "frosting it" to improve the color and also to dry it out some. I was ever so glad when foiling was invented. It was torture to have long hair pulled through a cap with crochet hooks. Cut to the chase - I was born blonde with hazel eyes.
Sorcerer Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Hey guys happy you discussing this, I have notice than from all my friends that recently had kids, where one of the parents have brown eyes and the other blue eyes, the kids all have BLUE EYES, as you know Bb (B=Brown, b=blue) Brown is a dominant gene and in general most of them should have brown eyes. Has anyone else notice this? This means the parents are bb and Bb and that means the grandparents are xb xb and Bx xb where x is unknown, so the parents of the brown eye parent were blue and brown heterozygous. Every child has an independant chance for blue eyes with every "trial" (fertilisation), so to having mulitple children with blue eyes shouldnt be any less rare for these parents as just one with blue eyes. Its like flipping a coin, getting heads on the first toss doesn't reduce the chances of getting heads on the second toss.
zeroth Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 well it is independant but you're statistics are a bit rusty, its much less likely to have multiple children with blue eyes chances of one blue eyed child: 1:2 chances of two blue eyed childs: 1:4 chances of three blue eyed childs: 1:8 chances of four blue eyed childs: 1:16 chances of five blue eyed childs: 1:32
In My Memory Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Then it is uncommon, but not weird. It does happen, as does that startling combination of dark brown/black hair and blue or green eyes. Now I feel like one-of-a-kind, I have very dark brown hair and bright green eyes. I get comments about it all the time
Deified Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 maybe this is due to linkage? No, its just the nature of probability. It works with flipped coins as well. Actually, both zeroth and sorcerer are right, they are just saying different things. (I think)
Rekkr Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 I have brown hair and green eyes. I suppose that is kind of rare... Not that I care though.
Guest kiyoshi Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 heres the thing, regardless, in the last century, alot has occured obviously, and other than such specticles of 'x-men' and other creations of that it isnt far from the truth. Especially with all the people of mixed races. I myself am japanese and german. and for some reason beyond any known every damn person in my family has brown eyes and dark hair, and they all have glasses, everyone, even the german side. ME on the other hand, i naturally have this odd dull brown/ blonde colour, and i have bluish green eyes and above 30/20 vision. I cant explain it, no one cares to, the point is, i am living proof of how screwed up genetic possibilities can be. so it wouldnt surprise me if you started to see black people with red hair and freckles, and if you saw the whitest person youve ever seen with asian eyes and a dark black afro. to be honest, if i saw an umpa-loompa from willy wonka i wouldnt be surprised. espesscially in canada where if anywhere youll find someone who has a part of some other culture you wouldnt expect.
Guest kiyoshi Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 actually, just to add something, if you take keanu reeves for example, he is like 1/4 japanese, 1/4 hawaiian, 1/2 english, now if you look at him he has brown hair, brown eyes, and if you look at the matrix has like blonde chest hair? would someone care to explain that?!?! cause that just confuzes the hell out of me.
Mag Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 well it is independant but you're statistics are a bit rusty' date=' its much less likely to have multiple children with blue eyes chances of one blue eyed child: 1:2 chances of two blue eyed childs: 1:4 chances of three blue eyed childs: 1:8 chances of four blue eyed childs: 1:16 chances of five blue eyed childs: 1:32[/quote'] you sure about those ^ if i remember correctly the chance of ONE blue eyed child was more like 1:4 or more. I mean, it all depends on the parents. Unless im missing something, your statistics say that 1 child will either have blue eyes or X eyes. leaving no room for more than 2 colors.
Dak Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 i have blond hair and brown eyes, which is uncommon. id guess that the hair and eye colours are linked; a quick google search supports the idea, although there was no uber-scienticical research in the results, by the look of it.
Mag Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 id guess that the hair and eye colours are linked Hair Color Eye Color Skin Color all contain melanin. I belive they are all linked, for the most part.
cutexblond Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 heya i have blondish brownish ringlets hair with green eyes what i find odd is none of my parents or grandparents on either side had curly hair and i have natural ringlets and when i say that im not jokin people always ask have i had a perm !! but neways wat i wanted to ask was i definately dont want to start dying my hair blonde but i do so love the blonde colour so is there any other way i can get it blonde???? plz help !!!!! thanx
Steph Posted May 24, 2006 Posted May 24, 2006 so it wouldnt surprise me if you started to see black people with red hair and freckles, I've seen this... I'm not entirely certain it was due to genetics though... The environment (i'm thinking about food) can have an effect too no?
Edtharan Posted May 25, 2006 Posted May 25, 2006 Well I know someone with 2 different (and distinctly differnt) eyes. One is green and the other blue.
