If both parents have a peak hairline there child could still have a straight hairline because he could receive 2 recessive alleles for a straight hairline.

Both the grandparents could've had heterozygous alleles and they showed up in the grandchildren.

If they both have a recessive straight line allele.

the recessive allele would show through because there would be two of them.

because the parents have a dominant trait.
