You can’t always predict. My granddaughter has blonde hair (12 years old, So it may darken as she gets older). Her parents have brown hair and very, very dark brown hair. Brown haired parent is my son and he never had blond hair. No blondes in my or his dad’s family so the mom must have blondes somewhere in hers.
You can't draw a punnet square without knowing what hair color genes the parents are carrying and OP appears to not know that, or at least is not sharing that information.

Yep. I had one friend whose family was from Colombia. Her sister and parents all had olive skin tone and she had pale, redhead skin and dyed her hair red. I would not be surprised if she was born with very light hair. I have friends who have kids with light hair even though the parents both have brown hair. My sister has dirty blonde hair and her husband has brown hair and my nephew has very blond hair now. He looks a lot like my sister did at that age.
If one parent has blonde hair and one parent has black?
Genetically, the dice favor dark. But what difference does it make?
The only important thing about a child's hair is not to color it, as was done to Jon Benet, which would make a child think that their hair is somehow not good enough.
I remember seeing an Asian woman walking ahead of me at the train station. She was holding hands with a little girl who had blond hair. I remember thinking, "Well, obviously, that's not her kid."
Then the child turned, and I saw her face. She most certainly was that woman's daughter. I was surprised.
My mother had nearly black hair and very dark eyes.
My father had blond hair and green eyes. Both my parents were caucasian.
Five of us had brown eyes and varying shades of brown hair, from my light brown to my brother's very dark hair.
The other two had blond hair and green eyes like my father.
My ex has blond hair and blue eyes. Our daughter has my brown eyes and his blond hair.
Not necessarily. As someone said, coloring is complicated.
Two brunette parents, one with brown eyes one with green eyes.
Their children- one blonde with blue eyes, one brunette with blue eyes, one brunette with brown eyes, one redhead with grey eyes.
Trying to predict is pointless.
As an added bonus the color hair a child has at birth may not be the color they have even six months later in life. My mother said I was born with a head full of thick black hair, it didn't stay that way for very long at all.
Most likely the child will have dark hair since brown/black hair is dominant. You never really know though. I know a couple where the man is black and the wife is white with brown hair and their daughters have white/blonde hair with blue eyes. Seems pretty unusual.
Agree, most likely brown. My daughter has brown hair and dark brown eyes. Her ex is a light skin AA. My granddaughter looks white, she has hazel eyes and dark blond Shirley Temple curly hair. I'm the blond with gray blue eyes, pin straight hair. Her mother had curl in her hair. It's been so long since I've seen her let her hair dry naturally. My granddaughter even has freckles in the same place as me near my collar bone

My male cousin (my mother is siblings with his father) and I have gray blue eyes, we were also born tow heads. When I was about 3, my hair turned a deep strawberry blond, then it turned gold by the time I was 4. In my 30's, it turned "root colored" brown, same thing happened to my cousin. Around age 53, I dyed my hair (it's to my waist) with the normal blond shade that I used (beige blond), it ended up having a red tint. Next time I dyed my hair a year later, I used a peroxide platinum blond dye that also turned red. My cousin has red in his beard, so does his brother. We know it came from our grandmother's side but I'm not sure which great grandparent it came from. I'll have to message him on Facebook to see if he knows. I never met our grandparents, he has. My parents immigrated to the US in the late 50's, all of my relatives are in Hungary.
My mother is a blond with hazel eyes. Her sister is also blond, I believe she has blue eyes. Her ex had brown hair and eyes. Her daughter ended up with curly brown hair and blue eyes that are not the same shade as mine and my cousins.
My son (35) also got my gray blue eyes but with dirty blond hair. So far his hair has not turned "root colored" brown.

My DNA results from 23andme even say "96% chance will NOT have red hair"
Buckin' the odds yet again.
Have you done your mothers DNA to see if you can find her family?
