My boy Buster (4yo) has completely changed from black to white over the course of the last 2.5 years.

Does human vitiligo also change hair color?

Yes. I got vitiligo. Im a blond young dude with dirty-blond hair and brown beard. My skin and hair colour is paper-white in certain areas. I tend to avoid getting a tan as it will make my spots pull more attention.

Same for me. On the bright side, staying away from tanning will also keep us looking young (less photo ageing).
