It is possible that your baby will have grey hair, black hair if they are lucky.

Did You have a baby yet with your partner because I am wondering the same thing. My partner is a ginger and I am Guyanese. =) I always thought though that the ginger gene is recessive and that my genes were dominating. If you had a baby with your partner I would really like to see how it turned out

Unfortunately due to genetics, it goes much deeper than just the hair colour of you and your partner, and is also affected by the colour of hair in previous close generations. The only firm answer is.... Wait and see.

LOL, unfortunately it didn't anser your question because there is no definate answer :-P
Genetics is influenced by a lot more than just parents - some traits can skip a generation or 2 or even three. Admittedly, if previous family members all have the same hair and eye colour etc, then the chances of the same trait continuing is stronger, but there are always possibilities of that not being the case. Hope all goes well, and hope you have the only real thing that matters, a healthy, happy child. Take care!

If your mixed race partner carried the ginger gene then its highly likely that you may have a ginger child. I'm mixed race with ginger hair and my brother is mixed race with black hair. My brothers partner is ginger and their child is ginger. Although his hair is black he clearly carries the ginger gene as he has the same genes as me. Ginger hair can emerge at any time, its just the likeliness that we are discussing and it sounds highly likely that your child may be ginger. Hope this helps.
