Yes, that happened to my body hair also.  It got much lighter.  My head hair didn't change though.

Pretty common. Mine has become far lighter and less of it. Vellus hair is lighter than terminal hair in color and smaller in diameter:

My pubic hair has changed to a more feminine consistency and pattern as well. The hair on my head became softer for sure but other than that, no change.
