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?

I'm really worried because I'm experiencing significant hair fall and dandruff, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've also noticed that some strands have turned white. I've heard about Livon hair tonic being helpful, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the right choice. Could you please guide me on how to stop the hair fall and possibly regrow my hair?
