Sometimes it take 3 years for the head to totally clear to a beautiful shaded tan.
I am so glad to hear this. My Ava's back is still black, I would love for it to stay that way. BUT her head is silver. She is 11 mths and it looks as if there is starting to be more tan, or at least that is what I am telling myself. I think she is beautiful no matter what color she turns out to be, but I secretly have my fingers crossed for black with a rich tan head.
