Can you have a blonde and a brunette/redhead siblings?

I'm Asian so this is unknown to me and I didn't pay attention in biology 101.

Does this happen in real life.. as seen in Frozen (Elsa: platinum blonde, Anna: Redhead). Is it as drastic?
 
Yep, I have had brown hair. I have siblings who are blonde, brunette, red, and green/orange*.


* Pro-tip for men: dying grey hair doesn't look like you might think it looks.

You are a full brown hair and your sis has bright blond hair? (non dirty)

What's the hair color of your mom and dad (natural hair)

Her hair has darkened, but when we were growing up she had bright blonde hair. My mom has dirty blonde hair and my dad had dark brown hair (now gray). I actually used to have dirty blonde hair myself. Around first or second grade it darkened to just brown.

That's just fascinating you white people. 😉 Us Asians don't even think/witness this stuff since everyone has brown hair.

What's really weird is how the eyes turned out. My parents both have brown eyes, but my sister has green eyes and I have gray eyes. We both have central heterochromia to boot. Not exactly a likely way for it to have turned out.
 
Yes, my sister-in-law has two redheads (both very bright red/orange), two blondes (one yellow, one almost white), one brunette, and one with nearly black hair..

My brother has twins (fraternal) with different hair. One is almost totally white like with a few faint streaks of blonde, and the other is sandy brown.

I had almost white blonde hair when I was very young, but it is very dark brown now, at least in the parts that haven't turned white again. 🙂

Our family history "tree" is more of a tangled mess of vines and weeds, with ancestors from all over Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, Persia, and north Africa, so there are plenty of hidden genes just waiting to pop up and do something crazy. 🙂

One of my eyes changed colors on an almost daily basis until about my mid 20's. I thought it was cool. So did most of my friends. It freaked out some of the teachers, though...
 
Hair color, eye color, and skin pigment are all traits. I took a diversity class in college, taught by a black professor. She showed the class a picture of a young blond headed girl with fair skin that looked like she came straight off the Swiss Miss box.....then she asked if she was black or white. It was a question of race, not skin color....she was black...despite all of her features suggesting otherwise.

It just goes to show that recessive traits fight their way to the foreground from time to time.
