0.25% chance or 1/4th.

You have a 50/50 chance of getting heads or tails on a throw. .50 for each.

If you do get heads, there's the same chance of getting another heads.

Multiply the .50% chance of getting heads by .50 again, and you end up with a 0.25% chance total of getting heads twice in a row.
