Poliosis: With only the limited description you may have poliosis. It is possible that you may have a halo nevus on your scalp. In this situation the hairs growing out of the nevus can lose their pigmentation. However, you could also have premature graying. See a dermatologist to examine your scalp to see what may be the cause.
