Is it possible for sisters to have different skin, hair colours, and hair types? E.g. hair= wavy, afro, straight, curly, black, brown, blonde, red. Skin colour: brown, peach, light brown and more.

Identical twins are the exception. They develop from a single fertilized egg that splits, resulting in siblings with nearly identical DNA (though even identical twins can have slight variations).
She’s tall, I’m incredibly short. She’s lighter in skin tone. My hair is an off black color, hers is brown. She has a slight hook nose, I have a button nose. Her eyes are a light brown color, my eyes are amber colored. Her lips are much fuller than mine are. She’s always been slim, I’ve always been curvy.
Here’s how mine looks:

They share a significant amount of DNA, but not an identical amount. This can influence things like physical traits and susceptibility to certain diseases.
My younger sister is much taller than me, she’s actually taller than my father. I’m shorter than both our parents. Her skin tone is very close to the singer Sade’s. While my skin tone is closer to Eva Pigford’s, at least during the spring and summer, I lose pigmentation in the fall and winter and get closer to an Alicia Key’s. Severe seasonal color loss is the bane of my existence.
My sister was born tow headed (she had sandy blonde hair) and her hair gradually turned reddish brown and now it’s a dark brown color and my hair color has always been an off black color.
We inherit half our DNA from each parent. This means siblings get a unique combination of genes from the vast pool each parent possesses.
Ex. Fraternal twins develop from two separate fertilized eggs. Each egg is independently released by the mother and fertilized by a separate sperm cell. Since the starting genetic material is different, the resulting twins won't be identical. They have different genes, though they will share a significant amount.
People have asked her to model before for commercial ads. I’ve been asked to be a mascot outside of stores….haha.
Although she’s younger, she looks older than me, her features are sharper, more defined. She looks exotic, I look like a power puff girl. I have a perpetual baby face. People think I’m the younger sister. I’m not.
On average, siblings share around 50% of their DNA. However, this can vary slightly depending on the specific genes they inherit.
My sister’s hair texture is very fluffy, airy and cotton candy like and quite fine, thin. While my hair is much thicker and closer to sheep’s wool in texture. Our curl patterns are different.
All these people are fraternal twins:
(When they were younger.)
Personally, my siblings all look quite different from each other. I’m Black American.
What is the funniest joke you've been told that you still think about to this day?
Yes, siblings don’t have the same genes. (I’m not sure why the focus is on girls, so I’m sorry but I’m going to disregard that and keep the information general.)
My sister and I look so different from each other people thought we had different fathers growing up. lol.
Fraternal twins can look very similar or quite different, depending on the genes they inherit.
Here’s how my sister’s natural hair texture looks:
So yeah, I live this. Although I think I didn’t win the genetic lottery and she did, I am grateful for my youthful appearance, at least the powers that be didn’t entirely forsake me.
Me and my sister growing up:
My sister has natural blonde and reddish highlights as baby hairs, framing her face. Like some hairs never changed colors for her.
