Susan, odd you mentioning the white streak..I am female and my Mother was a
Doss..in my thirties I developed a very
white, not gray, but white. streak in about the center of my hair..thinking
then it was cool, I started combing my hair
to the left so it was very visible and distinctive..don't have to worry
now..it turned a nice shade of gray..all over.
