A single hair that discolored and returned to its starting color before shedding!

[Lightmare]

Very random question, but has anyone seen a hair like this before?  Just found this 1” zombie on my countertop.

It seems to have lost its color but it came back, like a boomerang or the Lost Son.  What’s remarkable is how abrupt the transitions are.  I am wondering if intermittent stress might cause this?  Anyone know?

I had one hair in my hairline that was grey, but now I no longer see it. I think it may have something to do with anagen desynchronization

Thanks Melvin, interesting, I hadn't heard of that phenomenon before.  I looked it up, sounds like part of the HT process as explained by Eugenix.  For other readers, anagen desynchronization marks the 'high water mark' of post op appearance as the hair growth phase randomizes after that. 

However that video says that anagen desynchronization happens after ~10 months post procedure, but I wonder if the point at which it happens varies from patient to patient as well?  Would that be too early at only 6.5 months post HT? 

My transplanted region is shedding significantly since 5.5 months post op and I would hope that something like this isn't the cause since that would mean I've reached peak HT appearance only 5.5 months in...even if more hairs grew in after that it'd be pretty disappointing that it wouldn't look better than that .
