Cleolinda everywhere

I have red hair and I've always had a long pure white streak on the left side of my... I don't know... hair follicles? It's apparently a spot of hair that has no colour pigment. You have to dig a little to see it, but sometimes it would become unearthed and kids in school would not be, how should I put this? Not nice, that's how I would put it. I was so embarrassed I think I begged my mom to let me dye it. She, of course, said NO. Now, I'm glad because people in college think it's cool or they don't even notice it.
