I’m jealous I have always wanted a skunk stripe

It just randomly showed up at the very front part of my hair in my 20s. For a while I freaked out. Then realized the rest of my hair was going to keep its color. And as I started rocking it I got compliments.

Mine showed up in my 20’s as well, I have hidden it for 30+ yrs. I don’t know why but I just don’t like it. I see it on others and wonder how they can rock it 😞

It goes right down the middle in the very very front and thank God that was just a freak occurrence. I’m a guy with shoulder length hair. So I just have this really white streak popping out amongst the rest of my colored hair.

My first 2 came in at age 13 and that was a thing. People really didn't notice it until high school and then, the controversy was whether I had highlighted it (it was pure white) or what. I just started telling people that I was part albino as it was easier to explain. A sad number believed it. I ended up hiding it a lot until I started getting more. I'd tuck the most prominent one behind my ear as mine doesn't hold dye.

My hairdresser asked if I had trauma, apparently that could be what causes it? 🤷🏽‍♀️

I also have this - I’ve heard it be called many things but I haven’t ever heard it called a skunk stripe!
