What Causes Thick White Hair Growing Out Of The Forehead?
I have curly brown hair on my head, but I ve recently noticed that I have a single random thick white hair growing out of the centre of my forehead. It s nowhere near my hairline, and it s white and much thicker than my head hair. It seems to have a similar consistency to the hair from a horse s tail. Is this normal? Am I a UNICORN?

Hi,
Due to our skin's constitution it is not very uncommon to notice light colored hair from certain parts of our body. Unless the base of the hair where it is attached to the skin isn't red, painful or swollen, I don't think there's much to worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
