So how does the hair change color? Does it start at the neck and move backward? Do the hairs shed or do the ends of the hair where it grows out of the skin change?

Bilbo is 9 months old, and the back of his neck is starting to change but the rest of his back is still black with a few short white hairs intermingled. His tan is starting to change to pale gold--the top of his head is creamy gold, almost platinum blonde.

It doesn't really matter, I'm just curious.
