** With most disciples, it appears as a sort of [[Birthmark of Destiny]].

** Additionally, Belgarath's hair is entirely white (as befits [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|his age]]). In the ''[[Book Of Alorn'', this is put down to frost settling in his hair during the trek across the frozen land bridge between Aloria and Mallorea. But in ''Belgarath the Sorcerer'', he claims that it had gone white before then, and blames stress from dealing with the [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Alorns]].

* In ''[[Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn|Memory Sorrow and Thorn]]'' by [[Tad Williams]], Simon gains a scar and white streak in his hair after being burned by dragon's blood. From then on he's often referred to as Simon Snowlock.

* Several of Kay Hooper's characters in her psychic series end up with a white streak going through their hair.

* 2D, lead singer of the rock band ''[[Gorillaz]]'', fell out of a tree at a young age, landing on his head and knocking all his hair out. It grew back in [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|bright blue]] and has stayed that way since.
