So, yeah, white hair can mean that we’ve been through a lot. Bence was born with all that experience before he went through it! To be born white extremely light hair is typical for Scandinavians, but not completely white, pale as a wall. That’s why it is a rare sigh to see white hair on a newborn.
Bence’s parents were worried about his albinism, a condition that affects the production of melanin, the pigment that colours skin, hair and eyes… even though he looks magnificent. Albinism is not life-threatening, although people with it are more sensitive to light and increases their risk of developing skin cancer.
