[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 383842, member: 3907"] Sometimes a strand of hair will grow in without melanin (the pigment that gives hair and skin its colour). The hair is completely white because the protective sheath is colourless. Nothing to worry about. At 11 this is likely just a random occurrence, rather than a sign of early greying. If you're worried, it might be worth having her nutrition levels checked out at the doctor, but otherwise I wouldn't be too concerned. I had a strand of hair just like the one you describe, about 20 years ago. My hair is also black. I plucked the hair, it never grew back, and I haven't had a grey or white hair since (at my age, I'm sure that will change shortly, but for now...) [/QUOTE]
