Jace got sick within a week of being born (luckily after he was taken home from the hospital) and that was when his parents realized he was a metamporphmagi. When he had a fever, his hair turned red, when he was cold it turned blue. For obvious reasons, they kept him home and out of the public eye. As a young child, Jace wore lots of hats to cover his hair, since he didn't have much control over his power, but in the confines of his house he worked on control over his ability. After several years, he was able to control it enough that he could go to school, which was something he was very excited about. When he got angry or upset over something, he had to literally focus on his appearance and keeping it the same, which was something that also helped him calm down.
However, the day his mother died, Jace lost control of his ability. His hair- normally a darker shade of brown- turned dark blue and he just looked dark to those caring for him. His father explained it away, telling people he and his wife dyed the child's hair as a joke before her death, but that was the main reason he felt the need to move. That and the fact that his son seemed practically inconsolable and was not behaving like himself.
Around his family in Alaska, Jace basically had to re-learn how to control his ability again, which didn't necessarily take a long time, it just took focus and self-control that he didn't feel like he had anymore. (especially at such a young age) Being in a magical community helped, since he didn't have to explain away any changes he made to himself. The close proximity to his cousins and other magical children his age also helped. Once he gained control over it again, he used it frequently to make others laugh and brighten their day. He loved making faces or imitating people to their faces. Long before he started attending Ilvermorny, he was able to control his ability.
