Natalie has VERY thin hair, especially on the top of her little head.... my INSISTANCE to keep her hair out of her eyes with a band or bow has left a tiny little bald spot.... which in a matter of 12 hours or so had gone from a pale "scalp" color to a very dark gray.... and now, the new hair coming in is a very dark red as well....
Seems to be normal from everything I've read and will "run itself out" to the normal hair color as it grows.
Here is a little snippit from one of Admin's sticky posts about "breaking color" where it mentions what we're all questioning....
<<The underlying skin has pigmentation of the same color hue as the hair. The head, chest and legs have skin pigment that is light yellowish pink to moderate reddish, orange-yellow. The inside of the ear is the same, but the outside pigmentation of the ear leather is a reddish brown. The body’s skin has a pigment that is a light grayish-blue to medium grayish-blue. The pigmentation on top and sides of the tail is medium gray-blue to dark gray-blue.
If the skin is injured, the hair scratched or torn out, the healed skin with the early hair growth will be a darker area until it returns to normal.>>
Hope this helps!
