In a perfect scenario toddlers and children should get the unnatural hair colors as well so my pink haired mermaid can pass on her hair colour to her children. In a game where unnatural skin tones are genetic, hairs should be as well. But I don't think we will be that lucky. Besides an update for the realistic choices are more needed.

Pink hair isn’t genetic? I had a pink-haired human Sim father pink-haired twins. Was it just weird luck? I had to decide whether or not to keep it that way, since the father’s hair was just dyed.

If you create create teens directly in CAS with the DNA tool they can inherit unnatural colours. But if you have a baby born ingame, once that baby ages up to a toddler it will get a traditional hair colour because Maxis never created all colours for all ages.

Actually if you have a baby born in game it can inherit unnatural hair colours. It will get a random hair colour as a toddler but so long as you do not edit the kid in CAS (that includes changing its clothes etc) ever before it is a teen when it becomes a teen its hair will automatically turn the unnatural colour. I know this from my 100 baby challenge. Vlad was my patriarch and when a kid inherited his grey hair it would get a random colour as a toddler and as a child - if I took it into CAS before its teen birthday it would keep the random hair colour as a teen. But, I mostly didn't bother giving the kids makeovers until they were YAs and so I didn't take any of the toddlers or kids into CAS. So, their hair automatically turned grey when they became teens.

Thanks for sharing. It is interesting to know. Until now I have always edited their hair colour because I could see no link. although for me personally it is still a disappointment that it is not showing at a young age.
