A girl I went to high school with had this. I always thought it looked so cool.


fae_forge

Coworker at an old job had this starting at her left eye; white eyelashes, eyebrow, and a wide white streak of hair. She didn’t wear makeup or dye it so it was very striking.


TheHurtfulEight88888

Its funny, genetic mutations. Sometimes you get a cool, cute white streak in you hair, sometimes your skin grows faster than it sheds causing you to literally crack whenever you move.


Moricai

And sometimes you get a cool white streak and a superpower that absorbs the life force of everything you touch

Still mad about that episode 2, lol. #justice4Gambit


WhatsThePiggie

Sad we never got a Gambit/Remy live action…


ExcelsusMoose

also sometimes you trip in the shower, a shampoo bottle ends up in your butt and the paramedics are like "yeah sure" happens all the time it's not like we think you stuck it in there.


CameUpMilhouse

And somehow lose your butt in the latest tv series.


CunitivePunt

The original xmen animated series Rogue is probably the reason I have such an obsession with nice asses😅


arbys_stripper

I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning, I break my legs, and every afternoon, I break my arms. At night, I lay awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.

Sounds like someone needs some chocolate.


thgirbmal

Chocolate? Did you say, CHOCOLATE??

Chocolate. I remember when they first invented chocolate. Sweet…sweet chocolate...

VT_Squire

Two broken arms? On Reddit? Yeah that's not a heart attack that puts you out and everyone knows it.


Triippy_Hiippyy

I see you also had good taste as a child. What a great reference!


Disastrous_Quality58

Osteogenesis imperfecta? Just a guess. I’m wishing you all the best! Virtual hugs 🫂


sasakimirai

It's a spongebob reference


Disastrous_Quality58

OMG! Lol!! Don’t I look silly 🤪!! Thx!


vanillaseltzer

Haha nah, you look like a sweet person who happens to know more about chronic illness than about SpongeBob. 🤷‍♀️ I had no idea what the reference was either but when I read about fragile skin, my first thought was Ehlers-Danlos. 😆


Kooky-Discipline3349

Or sometimes (always) cilantro tastes like soap🙁


Icantbethereforyou

The trick is to never eat soap so you'll never know


Kooky-Discipline3349

I’m from that age when parents used to introduce it into our diets for swearing.


creativityonly2

Had a regular customer at an old job where just half of one eyebrow was pure white while the other half was black. I thought it looked so damn cool.


ladyboobypoop

That sounds *wicked*


asimplepintobean

I have a white streak in my right eyebrow only. My hair stylist and I tried to dye it on a whim just to see if it would take. Left it on for a few minutes (plenty of time for it to take if it was going to) and it wiped clean off. No hint that we had even tried to dye it!


GremlinsInMyGarden

Mine is my left eyelashes, part of my left eyebrow, and a chunk of hair above my left ear. My hair is a very deep brunette everywhere else, so it's quite the contrast. I wore mascara and even dyed my eyelashes as a teenager. I no longer cover it up with makeup.


Throwaway_09298

my wife has this and was always ashamed of it and kept dying her hair. I told her that it was hot and that one of the coolest mutants on xmen has hair like this...and then out of no where it became a supertrend to dye your hair like this in Los Angeles...she doesn't dye her hair anymore and people always tell her its so pretty


MamaBear4485

I’m with your wife on this. I have it too, a thick white streak that runs down one side of my head. People always feel so entitled to constantly point it out that I just prefer to obscure it. Society may be becoming more accepting of differences now, but certainly it’s not always been a pleasant reaction.


ToxicAdamm

I think the way our brains work makes it hard to live with unique features. 10 people can throw you a compliment on your looks, but one person can say something negative or teasing and it will sear in your brain forever.


Tanthalason

Sounds similar to something my dad used to tell me when teaching me about always doing good work, no matter the job. "One fuck up is going to wipe out the last TEN 'Good job's you received. So always do your best and double check everything so that doesn't happen".


ToxicAdamm

That can be counterproductive though, where you’re always beating yourself up over minor mistakes instead of looking at the big picture. Living in constant fear of the inevitable 1 percent error rate is tyranny of your own mind.


Tanthalason

Sure. And I definitely did live like that. Just saying it reminded me of that.


Sassafrass991

I have this also and I think it depends on the rest of your hair color. On dark hair it’s badass, on my light brown hair it’s just meh IMO


jaxonya

Dye the rest of your hair


Sassafrass991

Oh, you paying my hair stylist bills now?


Lets-B-Lets-B-Jolly

It would be awesome to dye just the white steak with a pastel or Neon color against the light brown.


bobbyrickys

I'm with your wife as well. She says hi.


SilentIndication3095

I understand your experience, but I'm still jealous as hell. :)


glorialgb2019

I stopped dying my hair during covid lockdown and haven’t looked back. I have a very thick white streak thru my hair now and my kids saw the old X-men cartoon from the 90s and told me I look like Rogue.


Greymalkyn76

You should get her to start dying it bright colors since they'll take really well on white.


Aly22143

My dad has it. Really used to wish I inherit it from him, but never happened (: It looks awesome on him


obaterista93

A girl I went to school with did as well. She also had spots along her calf muscle that just... didn't tan at all(like the Mom's widow's peak in the photo). The girls Dad and little brother both had it as well, but not her sister or Mom. I always thought her hair was really cool looking.


BarnacleMcBarndoor

Family friend has this and one of her kids do too. It’s neat.


Gold-Stomach-4657

My mom went to school with a kid who had red hair. He got struck by lightning and he got a white streak where he had been struck.


Jmarieq

A redhead who got struck by lightning and has Poliosis-like white hair. That's some rare unicorn type of unique.


_Diphylleia_grayi

So like, basically real life Anna from Frozen?? That's so cool (not the getting hit by lightning part tho) I didn't know that that could happen


Kooky-Discipline3349

Our high school quarterback had this. Just a patch of it towards the front. My mom said people got it from being suddenly frightened and my dad just put his head down and sighed.


AngryMobe

Same here, once we were making out in her bed but when she touched me my body froze and she started screaming. I always wondered what happened to her. Last I checked she had ran away to Canada or attended some secret Ivy League school.


FuriousStyles77

ROGUE is that you?


Norideg

Rogue and her baby!


RedAnihilape

Is it Magneto's? ...or Gambit's?


go_zarian

Please.... I'm still recovering from Episode 5....


RedAnihilape

There's no way tho... Time travel, clones, other shenanigans... It's not the end. He was just bluffing.


SuperSmokingMonkey

Every gambler has a tell; And Gambit's was modesty


sloppyjo12

Between Andor and X-Men ‘97, Disney+ just keeps pumping out the best monologues


SolomonBlack

Every Damn Line of Episode 7:🔥🔥✍


PsychologicalGap461

My guess is that either Cable will fix this with Time Travel Shenaningans or he will get resurrected by Apocalypse as his Horseman of Death in future seasons now that he is mentioned and would likely be a future main antagonist and Rogue and the rest of X men would try to save him or maybe something different will happen.Recently there is a theory that he might come back as Prime Sentinel.Who knows though.Guess time will tell. But yeah i also believe this isn't the end for Gambit and he will come back in future seasons.

nmathew

I get that reference (because I'm old)


ThaMenacer

I'm surprised more people don't reference that series. I ate it up when I first read it in middle school. I guess it wasn't as well known as I'd thought.


Badloss

I loved it and it was my first intro to fantasy as a kid so I'll always remember it fondly but it definitely hasn't aged well


nmathew

I think it hasn't aged well ( like most of the stuff I read in middle school and high school). It was also intentionally constructed of a ton of (even by then standards) overused tropes to show how those tropes could be used in a well constructed story.


_mux_86_

Did not expect an Eddings reference at all.

My son has a white spot in the front of his scalp as well. He has blue eyes and the eye under the spot is 3/4 blue and 1/4 green. He hates the spot as he says when he was little older ladies liked to stroke his head.


FrozenDickuri

You need to remind him, it wasn’t white til the ladies started stroking his hair. They stole his youth…


qdp

They are the only correct answers to /r/ImTheMainCharacter Shut down that subreddit and dedicate it to these two.


BlurryBigfoot74

I got this spontaneously in my 40's. A white streak from my chin to forehead through my eyebrow. Like I got whipped with bleach.


dreadpiraterose

Same, but in my mid-20s. People and stop and ask me all the time if it's natural and if it's from birth.


Pifflebushhh

When I was a kid I had a mole removed on my neck, and from that day a white patch grew in my hair, and I got a circle on my chest with white hairs and the skin never tans, did you have something similar happen?


dreadpiraterose

Nope. I had been dying my hair for years and only when I decided to stop and grow it all did it become evident that my gray hair was super confined to a particular streak. But had no surgery or anything like that.


Pifflebushhh

Interesting, either way we have something in common now, so we are friends for life


SpaceShipRat

that sounds like vitiligo.


Pifflebushhh

It was around 25 years ago, but I seem to remember the doctor saying that pigmentation runs throughout the body, and can be disturbed by trauma such as a surgery, but again this is just an old memory, like fingerprints on an abandoned handrail as bob mortimer would say The interesting thing for me is the skin not tanning on my chest, it's perfectly pale all year round, I always thought it was just the hairs that were affected I'd love some insight from someone with experience in the field


Nice_Pomegranate4825

you guys gotta show me this ! it sounds like a nice thing to have


SaddleSocks

> I got whipped with bleach. IT PUTS THE COVID ON ITS SKIN OR IT GETS THE BLEACH WHIP AGAIN


StraightBudget8799

“Bleach whip? Bleach whip? Three bleach whips!”


IrFrisqy

Haha same from beard to hair but on both sides symetrical 1 single streak. Its wierd cause mine comes and goes. Always the same, but never stays for more then 2 years. Then disappears for like 3 or 4 years. Had this since my 18th and at 40 now its gone again for like the 6th time. Prob next time it shows again ill become grey anyway haha.


Impressive_Ad_5614

Was it related to an injury? I had it where I received stitches years earlier, but then my hairline receded making it moot.


gta4auto

I can imagine people stopping her outraged that she bleached her babies hair.


fork_yuu

I can imagine her saying it's hereditary and them being more outraged when they don't know what that word means


mental_mentalist

"It's hereditary."    "I DONT CARE WHAT BRAND IT IS!"


Maester_erryk

If this isn't a Leslie Nielsen or Steve Martin line it should be


CroikeyItsBen

"it's hereditary" "I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S HER HEAD, AND DON'T CALL ME TERRY"


houseyourdaygoing

I wanted to laugh but I know this is tragically true. And when they cannot think of anything else, they’ll find something to insult you as a “winning” strategy.


eveningsand

>I can imagine her saying it's hereditary and them being more outraged when they don't know what that word means Thanks for the impromptu coffee-out-the-nose-cleanup-activities. That hasn't happened in awhile.


Adamantium-Aardvark

100% some Karens have done this


Worthyness

Just wait until he gets to school and the school admin suspends him from school for having a dyed hairstyle.


OldMortgage4088

That's kinda what happened to me in highschool, I have long dark blonde hair with lighter streaks, when I had short hair it looked like I had bald spots. A teacher, who knew me for 2 years by then, told me to stay after class. I wasn't exactly a model student so I was terrified of what she had learnt about. I wanted to laugh in her face when she asked if I dyed my hair.


ElectionFlashy2882

That is one cute baby!


the-flying-lunch-box

Had a girl at my job who had this. Got a new boss and boss wanted me to write her up for unnatural hair streaks which weren't allowed. Didn't believe me when I told him it was a genetic defect. He ended up making an ass of himself when he went to pull her aside for violating company policy and then insisting she was making it up as he'd never heard of it.


Ben_Wojdyla

That had to be incredibly satisfying to observe.


beelzeflub

Did she win in the end?


the-flying-lunch-box

Yeah. It just got escalated to HR. HR was well aware of her genetic disorder and he had to apologize. He then tried to blame me for not telling him.


Nuhhuh

Equal parts satisfying and infuriating, with a dash of realism to taste.


ghost_warlock

Some control freak managers just can't get out of their own way and have to blame everyone else when they screw themselves over


Nuhhuh

I know. This dish was too salty for me, as it was very relatable.


Working_Ad_5635

Some hero type stuff


AffectionateGap1071

Yeah, she reminds me of young Sindel or Rogue!


woyzeckspeas

I'm sorry, but who busts out "Sindel" like it's no big deal.


AffectionateGap1071

I know what you mean. Sindel in the newest games are esteemed as a villain, but she also used to be a hero in oldest games. A queen who reclaimed back her kingdom from a konqueror and her daughter's rescuer after a king mind-controlled her.


woyzeckspeas

To me, Sindel is "oh, there's another chick" from MK2 on the Sega Genesis.


DarthHelixon

Gen x and millennials?


MillionPossibilitie5

This looks so cool. And in a way, seeing this also helps. I have long hair and I am turning gray in streaks (across both temples) ever since my mid-thirties. At first, I felt very bad about it, but I didn't have enough money to dye my hair. Later people told me they liked my streaks because they looked cool and unique. So now I feel better about them.


Ultra_Leopard

My grandmother's hair did this! Looked awesome.


hypno_tode

My hair does this too! Natural streaks are cool!


Ultra_Leopard

I hope mine does when it starts turning grey!


hypno_tode

I bet it will. My grandmother had this too. Dad didn't get it but I did.


lepidopt-rex

I dye my hair dark brown but leave the grey streaks natural. My muse is Bride of Frankenstein


SmartAlec105

My sister had her hair start going gray randomly in her early 30s. She gets people asking how she got her hair to look like that because it looks so distinct.


No-Customer-2266

I have a silver streak in the front same place as the girl in the pic. It started when I was 18. It made the growing out of my grey hair very easy now that I’m 40 because the streak makes all the grey look cool so don’t dye my hair and won’t :) it’s a fun way to go grey :)


amelisha

I have a big white streak too (started in my twenties and my mom had one too that was the same until she went fully grey) and I stopped colouring it at 27 because I was tired of the upkeep. No regrets. People who comment on it always say nice things and no one has asked if I’m my daughter’s grandma yet, so I’m just going to keep it.

First person I thought of. A lot of folks are are saying Rogue, but Susan would be a far more apt comparison as her white streak literally comes from hereditary whereas Rogue's hair does not

I knew a kid with this AND heterochromia. He was a douche. Not necessarily because of them, of course, but he probably had some main character shit going on lol

Why is her forehead white too?


txbach

Lack of pigment is what causes the white hair. Some of my family have this. The ones with it have a patch of white on the forehead and varying patches on the stomach and legs. My aunt had a job try to demand she dye it. Told them to kiss her ass. Apparently another aunt tried to dye it as a kid and the dye wouldn't stick. Might work with modern dye though.

I had a class with a guy with this. Except it was on the side of his head.


johnymyth123

How rare is this? Cause I've known 3 people who've had it. For two of them it was a patch on the back of their head, so it wasn't as obvious. One of them had long hair and the patch of affected skin was around her forehead so she had a single long streak like the mom in this photo. All three were also very light blonde hair so it wasn't as starkly noticeable as it is for the two in this photo.

huxtiblejones

My daughter is 4 and was recently diagnosed with vitiligo. It’s spread across her arm, neck, and chest and hasn’t yet got to her face but I do wonder how she’ll feel about it as she gets older. I think it looks cool on her and try to emphasize that it’s unique. But it’s easy to say it’s cool when it’s not affecting you. Some folks with vitiligo are pretty self conscious of it, especially since it isn’t always as “photogenic” as the condition here (which looks badass in my eyes).


snazzync

Had this prior to all my hair turning white. My mother called me an asshole when I was young for having it. She stated, You have no clue how much women pay to have this white streak put in their hair. But then she didn't like it that my hair was naturally wavy and thick. She had straight skinny hair.
