Basically the title says it all, and I never noticed these before today, in fact im almost certain they are recent.
Are there any chemicals that may be in the bathroom that could bleach the hair white? The strands are near the front of my head and the white strands just sorta stick out from the rest, but I followed them to the root and the whiteness just kinda cuts off an inch from the scalp. Anyone had this happen?
Only thing I could think of is that my brother got the acne cream on one of the towels and then from there got on my head.
I have had this before, for me its because I have hypothyroidism which has caused what you speak of, my hair to turn dry and also it falls out more than usual (for me it should disappear once I am properly medicated).
Look to see if you have any other symptoms

p.s. it doesnt mention there about white hair but I have read many other posts on other forums mentioning such.
Your hair is probably changing. It my sisters started noticing they had gray hairs when they were in their mid-20s. I've had gray hairs since I was 8.
Hair changes as you get older anyway. As of now my curls are growing in more loosely (mostly in the back-top and some on the sides). It's really annoying because I had hoped it would be finished changing by next month but it'll obviously take longer. And I refuse to let it grow while it's noticeably different in some parts :P lol
