{{trope}}
[[File:
A character with hair of dramatically varying shades. Often, each individual shade would be perfectly normal (at least, [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|by the standards of its medium]]). Common as a [[Mary Sue]] trait, especially if the different colors all occur naturally.
Often the result of being [[Locked Into Strangeness]]. A supertrope of [[Skunk Stripe]]. See also [[Kaleidoscope Hair]], which changes color, and [[Anime Hair]].

▲== Anime & Manga ==
* In ''[[Black Jack]]'', half of Dr. Black Jack's hair
▲* Half the hair on Jio's head from ''[[666 Satan|Six Six Six Satan]]'' is white, to go along with his [[Mismatched Eyes]]. Being possessed by Satan does wonders for his personal appearance. After the [[Time Skip]], the wonders [[Bishounen|aren't just for his hair]], but his hair still is one hella uncommon for the place where he lives.
▲* In ''[[Black Jack]]'', half of Dr. Black Jack's hair becaming white after a land mine blasted his head apart when he was a child.
* In ''[[New Mazinger]]'' -a ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' spin-off- [[Not as You Know Them|Major Kabuto]] is black-haired, but his hair's central part is red.

** Yugi Mutou has purple, black, and blond hair, and it is implied that his grandfather looked like this when he was younger.
** The Pharaoh was shown with these hair colors when he was born, but his dad has black hair, like a normal Egyptian. Some suspect that he got his hair from his unseen mother; on the other hand, anime hair doesn't exactly have to follow logic and science.
** Almost everyone from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
* Hikaru from ''[[Hikaru no Go]]'' has mostly black hair; his bangs are blonde.
* Rosé Thomas from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' has black hair with pink bangs.
Line 24 ⟶ 23:
* Hinoki Sai from ''[[Betterman]]''. She has brown hair with the exception of her bangs which are red and green. Although the majority of her flashbacks suggest that the rest of her family have the same unusual quality.

* Yoshikage Kira from ''[[
* Death the Kid from ''[[Soul Eater]]'' has black hair with three white stipes that only cover half of his head, a fact that greatly annoys him because he has OCD and is extremely obsessed with symmetry. This is in a series where many characters have close-to if not exactly realistic hair colours. Kid's case is unusual and down to genetics (for want of a better word).
* In the world of ''[[Strike Witches]]'', where [[Magical Girl
* ''[[Macross Frontier]]''. Sheryl Nome has pink hair with blonde highlights, or vice versa.
* Olivie from ''[[Angelique]]'' (blonde/golden and dark pink/red). Some character designs also threw green into the mix.

* Rebecca Miyamoto from ''[[Pani Poni Dash!]]'' has hair that is part blonde, part pink. Presumably, it's because she's [[But Not Too Foreign|half-American and half-Japanese]].
* ''[[Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko]]'''s Erio has very light blue hair but at times gains crystal-like glitter (that can flow off her without ending). Other characters notice this, mainly Makoto, but never mention it out loud.
* Ruby from ''[[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]]'' seems to have black and white hair.
* ''[[Potemayo]]'' is full of gradient-haired characters, and some of them are two-colored, such as pink/blonde on the titular [[

* In ''[[Poltergeist (film series)|Poltergeist]]'', Diane Freeling's trip through the afterlife to rescue her daughter leaves her with a streak of white at each temple. She is reluctant to dye them back, thinking they look "punk" (and possibly seeing them as a badge of pride).

After she goes through a short but thorough [[Humiliation Conga]] that was sadly left out of the Disney version, the black half goes white and the white half goes ''green'', apparently from stress.
