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 curious about how safe biotin capsules are. Do they actually help with reducing hair fall and promoting hair growth? If they do, could you also guide me on how much I should be taking?
Biotin capsules are generally considered safe, with minimal side effects, and can help reduce hair fall and promote hair growth by strengthening hair follicles and increasing elasticity; recommended dosage varies from 2,500-10,000 mcg per day, but typical dosages for hair growth are 5,000-7,500 mcg per day, taken orally with food, and it's essential to consult a Dermatologist
