YourObedientSerpent's wife went silver when she was in her 20s. Several years ago, she had a scalp injury -- and when it healed, the hair came back with a ''black'' streak in the injured area.

A friend of this troper has a white stripe in her hair, apparently from since she was four.

My aunt has a skunk stripe but I haven't thought much about it until I saw this page.

I also have an original character with a skunk stripe: Maria. (That reference is soon to be outdated.)

This Troper's mother is going gray rather irregularly, with the end result leaving her looking like movie Rogue. She thinks it looks rather cool. Rather.

This Troper gets a streak of blonde at the temple during the summer. Her hair is naturally brown.

This troper's mom had one for a while, in the early years of her greying process.

This troper started growing a streak when he was around 14. Supposedly this is due to premature graying within his family.

This troper has a friend from church whose hair is bright orange except for a white stripe near the front.

This troper's brother-in-law has a white, almost sprayed-on-looking patch on the back of his head.

This troper's facial hair is mostly reddish-brown, except for a pure white patch on his moustache. The only thing that really bugs him about it is that it's not really visible from a distance - it just looks like he's shaved away an off-centre stripe for some reason.

This troper's cousin had the ends of her black hair dyed blonde, and was actually told that her hair looked like a skunk. It was good-natured, though, so she just thought it was cute.

One of my Visual Design classmates uses a fake lock of hair (she straps it on) to get this effect.

A classmate of this troper had a white lock. In ''elementary'' school.

This troper's brother has a streak of white hair on the side of his head, it began when he was around 13.

A friend from my Boy Scout troop had a white patch in the lower-back of his black-haired head from age 10 on.

Smerf: I'm getting a skunk stripe in my beard. I blame it on stress.

This Troper has a blonde streak going from a cowlick to the very front of his bangs. He also has a gray spot when his stubble comes in. It's on the same spot where I fell on a stump as a little kid.

I've got something kind of like this; my right eyebrow has a random patch of white hair, rather than the usual brown, near the end.

This Troper's chemistry professor has gray hair, but her fringe is a lighter shade.

This troper has vitiligo down the middle of his right eyebrow and nowhere else. I've been told it give me "character"...I don't know what that says about my personality.

This Troper has bright blonde streaks in the back of her mostly brownish colored hair. People always ask me how much I paid for the streaks, and I tell them they're just birthmarks. Kind of ruined because my hair is oily and tangly and just generally annoying and unmanageable. And believe you me, I've tried a zillion things to fix it.

There's a boy I've seen around who has a white stripe like that, and it's been driving me crazy wondering whether it's dyed or it's just like that. I'm pretty sure it's dyed, but it's not like I'm just going to go up and ask, considering we've never actually met before.

ThisTropers seven year old brother was born with one of these. He has platinum blond hair (with blue eyes, the kid looks like a reject from VillageOfTheDamned) with a ''huge'' black streak running through the middle. I happen to think it's the most awesome birthmark (or whatever the hell it is, help please?) ever.

This troper has a red-head classmate with this on his cowlick. She later learned it was from stitches to his head.

This troper has had the same gray streak in her hair since age 13 (premature graying runs in the family.) It's less noticeable now that I'm growing dreads, but I got plenty of comments on it when I was a teenage (adults would say it was a sign of wisdom, and my best friend said it made me look like Rogue from X-Men).

A boy at my school has a mole on his head that gives him a patch of white hair near the temple. His hair is blond, though, so it's hard to notice. It does look quite awesome, though.

{{This Troper}}'s french teacher cracked her head open on a piano as a child. Right in the centre of her forehead. She has a centre-parting so it looks like two separate white streaks. Made even cooler by the rest of her hair being silvery.

This troper has Waardenburg Syndrome, so they have this, along with MismatchedEyes.

This troper's high school science teacher apparently had one hair in the middle of her scalp go grey during college, which "made her look like the Bride of Frankenstein." Now her hair is almost completely white, but that particular streak is the whitest.

This troper met someone with one today! Saw her coming out of a cafe at uni, so I made a beeline for her and said, "Sorry if this is insensitive, but is that streak in your hair dyed?" and she proudly said, "Nope!" A streak of silver-white against ebony!

This troper had a skunk stripe for a while after dressing up as Sweeney Todd for Halloween.
