Little Girl Born With A White Patch Of Hair Which Is Exactly The Same As Her Mum’s
We’re not sure what the odds are of four people in one family having the same white patch of hair, but we’re pretty sure they’re pretty slim. Still, that’s exactly what happened when little MilliAnna Worthy from Ridgeland, South Carolina, was born. The little girl, now 18 months old, has the same distinctive genetic inheritance as her mother, Brianna, as well as her grandmother and great-grandmother.
The white locks are caused by poliosis, a condition that creates a lack of pigment in the hair and surrounding skin. “We are unsure how far back the hair color and skin discoloration goes as my grandmother was adopted as a child and hasn’t met her biological family,” Brianna told the Daily Mail. “I was hoping she did have it. My younger sister that my mother had a few years after me didn’t get it, so I didn’t know if MilliAnna was going to, but once I had my beautiful baby and they laid her on my chest, and I saw she had it I was so happy.”

“But once I had her and they laid her on my chest and I saw she had it I was so happy”
“I grew to end up really loving it in my hair and was confident that it was my own unique signature look”
“I plan to raise my daughter knowing she is beautiful and special and to not listen to people mean comments at times”

I'm a kid, and I can say pretty much everyone I know would think this is SUPER COOL and nothing to be ashamed of. Maybe there are some jerks out there who will tease her, but then she'll be able to find out who her true friends are!

on the sixth pic from the top(where she sits on the edge of don't-know-english-name-of-it) she's sooo ADORABLE. the smile is priceless. my daughter was smiling like that on every picture as soon as she had enough teeth to brag with. also to the subject of this article: that's unique and beautiful. also fhe fact that they have it on the fringe and not on some random place is very nice. i'd love to "suffer" from such condition.

I have the same mark, I got it from my mom, who's mother gave it to her. I then gave it to 2 of my 3 kids. My oldest daughter has it and my 3 grand daughters from her were born with it too.
