A boy born with a bright white streak in his hair has become one of around 40 people in his family to inherit the rare ‘birthmark’.
Two-year-old Josiah Barnes has a white patch in the middle of his jet black afro.
The toddler often turns heads when he leaves the house and his mom Latrece Barnes, who also has the distinctive birthmark, is constantly asked whether she dyes her son’s hair.
The bleached effect is known as the Mallen Streak, and is caused by a condition called poliosis, which is characterized by a lack of pigment in the hair.
