Why does Goten not look like Goku anymore?

All Dragon Ball fans have wondered at some point why Goten, Goku's second son, no longer resembles his father as much as when we first met him in the series. This change in Goten's appearance has sparked a topic of debate, so let's analyze a little why this happened.
The main reason is that Goten is a hybrid, a mix between Saiyan and Earthling genes. Unlike Goku, who is a pure-blooded Saiyan, Goten inherited human traits from his mother, Chi-Chi. Vegeta once explained that pure-blooded Saiyans never experience drastic changes in their hairstyles. Their hair stays the same from birth until death, this is the reason why Goku and Vegeta always have the same hairstyle.

But hybrid Saiyans like Goten don't follow this rule. As they grow, their human side allows their hair to change naturally. We've seen this in other hybrid Saiyans as well, like Gohan and Trunks, whose hair grows as they grow older. So, Goten's hair growth is simply a result of being a hybrid Saiyan!
