Hair is weird. When I was little it was practically black. Nowadays it's dark brown but if you look at a single hair at random, you might find dark brown, light brown or red. So I guess it's perfectly reasonably that white is involved in the spectrum somewhere.
Or I mean, the rate human hair browns would mean those white hairs started in like March, which would fit the stress hypothesis because that's when the boss at work quit and it was the start of tourist season.
Or, again, my grandfather's genetics could be the source. I do look a helluva lot like his mother - like it's fucking creepy - but she never lived long enough to see if her hair did the thing. It happened to her mother, and her son but not my mother.
It's all kind of academic now since I tugged them out. Let's check back again in 6 months' time to see if they grow back.
