I noticed something strange with my hair today. I have dark hair and found this one strand that was really weird the top part was white, but closer to the root, it was black. Only this one strand was like that. I plucked it out, but now I'm just curious, why would this happen? Is this something I should be worried about?

Question

I've been struggling with my lips being dry, chapped, and sticky pretty much all year round. It's honestly driving me crazy! Sometimes they're so dry that they hurt, and they're always sticky, which makes speaking really frustrating. I've even attached some photos. Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?
