I read that it is dominent trait my husband and me asking how it comes if both of us do not have? Any one has the same
My son has a widow's peak. I do not. My husband does not.
He looked like a little dracula when he was a baby! Now, we go to the barber and they line him up....no more widow's peak.
Why don't you ask the pedi if you are this concerned.
Frankly, I don't get your concern due to the way your kid's hair grows.
There are much more issues way more serious that hair growth. Geesh

I read somewhere that widows peaks are not a dependable genetic trait.
I think it's just the way the hair grows and it means nothing.
A lot of older men seem to have a widows peak as they age due to a receding hair line.
Here's the article:

But basically they don't know if it's genetic or not.
It could be from further back, for example my sister has hair just like both of my parents, thick, straight, and a ton of it. I, on the other hand, got my grandmother's hair, super fine and thin.
I thought I had responded to this, but my answer isn't here. Odd.
It's like two blue eyed parents can produce a brown eyed child. It's not common (brown is supposedly dominant) but it can happen. More than one gene is involved, that's why.
So perhaps that's the same with widow's peaks. Not sure.
I do know that if it's such a dominant gene, you'd see more people with widow's peaks. None on either side of my family, or on either side of my husband's family.
I was always told that boys get their hair from their moms. Not sure if that's true or not, but my brother's hair is very much like my maternal grandfather's hair. Although, my mom's brother had early hair loss. The cousins would always tease him, and he warned his sisters' boys that this was their future since boys inherit hair from their mother's side of the family.
I have no idea who's right. I think all the boys got my grandfather's hair, not their uncle's.
It has to do with dominant and recessive genes in his parents genetic code. Plus it doesn't even have to be in both of you. It could just be "that" dominant in his genetic code.
