Hair color is caused by the pigments in your body. The less pigment you have the lighter your hair. Less pigment also means you will have lighter skin that is why people who have darker skin have darker natural hair usually and why people with lighter skin have lighter hair. the amount of pigment you have depends on who your parents are. If your parents have more pigment you will probably have more pigment and if your parents have less pigment you will probably have less. Hope this helps! :)
Vitiligo is a fairly common pigment discontinuity in people usually present since birth. It is usually only present in a few spots and the decreased, or lack of melanin can cause the skin to turn white.
