->''"Interest in your bold rejection of social norms as evidenced by your dyed hair."''
-->-- '''Wealthy, Successful Protagonist''' to [[ManicPixieDreamGirl Lead Female]], ''WebVideo/ATrailerForEveryAcademyAwardWinningMovieEver''

A character with hair of dramatically varying shades. Often, each individual shade would be perfectly normal (at least, [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair by the standards of its medium]]).

Often the result of being LockedIntoStrangeness. A SuperTrope of SkunkStripe. See also KaleidoscopeHair, which changes color, DelinquentHair and AnimeHair.

!!Examples:
[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* Olivie from ''VideoGame/{{Angelique}}'' (blonde/golden and dark pink/red). Some character designs also threw green into the mix.
* Guts of ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' gets a white streak in his hair after using the cursed Berserker Armor for the first time.
* Hinoki Sai from ''Anime/{{Betterman}}''. She has brown hair with the exception of her bangs which are red and green. Although the majority of her flashbacks suggest that the rest of her family have the same unusual quality.
* Birdy from ''Anime/BirdyTheMighty'' has strange red and white hair; its exact appearance varies depending on the adaptation.
* The {{Shinigami}} Ronald Knox in ''Manga/BlackButler'' has blond hair at the top and darker underneath, similar to H-neun.
* In ''Manga/BlackJack'', half of Dr. Black Jack's hair became white after a land mine blasted his head apart when he was a child.
* A short-lived ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' villainess, Berenice Gabrielli, had white and black hair.
* Shura Kirigakure from ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' has hot pink-colored hair with yellow ends, in a manner that evokes the likeness of flames.
* ''Manga/BungoStrayDogs'' has two characters with black-and-white hair, Akutagawa (black with white ends) and Q (white on the left, black on the right).
* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'':
** Nezuko's long black hair is reddish-brown in the last 1/3 of its length.
** Mitsuri Kanroji's hair has a pink-to-green gradient, which is supposedly the result of her eating too much sakura mochi (a kind of mochi which is also pink and green). However, it wasn't perceived as normal by other people, and this prompted her to dye her hair black for a time. Because of her unusual hair colors and her monstrous physical strength (which [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon made many men turn her down]]), she felt isolated until she joined the Demon Slayer Corps as a way to be among people who would accept her for who she was.
** After consistently drawing Kanao with fully black hair, creator Koyoharu Gotouge then decided to make Kanao join the league of special colored black hairstyles as well; in a color illustration for the fight against [[spoiler:Doma]] she was given pink hair tips, also used in a promotional sticker for Jump GIGA. However, this change to Kanao's hair wasn't retroactively put into motion for the anime adaptation, which kept Kanao's hair fully black as it used to be.
* ''Anime/JinzoKonchuKabutoBorgVXV'':
** Ryūsei Amanogawa has dark brown hair with blonde bangs.
** Big Bang / Taiki Amanogawa has maroon hair with grey bangs.
** Ginga Amanogawa / Weiss Baron has blonde hair with grey bangs.
* Shoto Todoroki of ''Anime/MyHeroAcademia'' has two-tone hair, half being white and half being red reflective of his ice and fire controlling powers.
** His older sister, Fuyumi, has white hair flecked with crimson streaks. Whether this is indicative of her powers at all is unknown.
** Sir Nighteye has dark green hair with yellow streaks. Judging by his no-nonsense personality and his blonde eyebrows, this is completely natural.
* Kyoko Shirayuki from ''Manga/Keijo'' has long black hair with white/gray tips.
* Tagiru from ''Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersWhoLeaptThroughTime'' has brown hair and a red tuft of hair that falls over his forehead when not pushed back by his goggles. A glimpse of his family shows this is ''natural'', inherited from his mother (though her red is more subdued).
* ''Anime/DigimonUniverseAppMonsters'' has Eri, who has pink hair in three different shades; the tips of her long pigtails are a lighter shade of pink from most of her hair, while [[IdiotHair a single strand of hair]] is a brighter pink. A milder example is Rei, who has a single dark streak on the front of his dark green hair.
* Gotenks from ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', being the result of a FusionDance between Goten and Trunks, has purple (from Trunks' hair) and black hair (from Goten's).
* Sena of ''Manga/Eyeshield21'' has brown bangs, while the rest of his hair is black. This is probably a case of AuthorAppeal, since the main character of the artist's other manga, Blust, has black bangs with brown hair.
* Hatsuharu Sohma from ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' has black and white hair. This is because he's possessed by the spirit of the Ox from the EasternZodiac, as well as representing his SplitPersonality (with the two sides of his personality being called "White Haru" and "Black Haru"). Since his hair is a side effect of the Sohma family curse, it's actually natural despite being MistakenForDyed by most people. This prompts a memorable and hilarious moment when the StudentCouncilPresident demands that he prove it's natural; Haru drags him into the boy's bathroom and it's heavily implied that his "proof" was showing the president his pubic hair.
* Rosé Thomas from ''Franchise/FullmetalAlchemist'' has brown hair with pink bangs in [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the first anime]], black hair with pink bangs in ''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Brotherhood]]''. It's highly unusual in the naturalistic series where people mostly have common hair colors. The series is set in a technologically advanced early 1900s, so it's likely that Rose dyes her hair. [[spoiler:Her Earth counterpart Noah in ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemistTheConquerorOfShamballa'' has completely brown hair to support this.]]
* For most of the series, Bleed Kaga from ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'' has green hair with orange triangles on each side of his hair and a black tail.
* ''LightNovel/GroundControlToPsychoelectricGirl'''s Erio has very light blue hair but at times gains crystal-like glitter (that can flow off her without ending). Other characters notice this, mainly Makoto, but never mention it out loud.
* Kaite Madigan from ''Manga/MobileSuitGundamSEEDAstray'' has black and blond hair as a result of his [[DesignerBabies genetic enhancements]] not coming out quite right. [[HumansAreBastards His parents gave him up for adoption because of this.]]
* ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'':
** Kenma Kozume has dyed blonde hair with black roots, often leading to opponents comparing it to pudding as well as earning him the InSeriesNickname of 'pudding head'.
** Nishinoya Yuu also has black hair with a tuft of beige at the front.
* Anzu from ''Manga/HanamaruKindergarten'' has her mother's blonde hair in the front and her father's brown hair in the back. This is completely natural.
* Clair Leonelli of ''Anime/HeatGuyJ'' has black hair with blue bangs. A flashback to his childhood shows his hair was once ''all'' black; at some point, he dyed his hair. (His character design seems to be based on Music/{{Miyavi}}.)
* In ''Manga/HekikaiNoAion'', Yuzuki and Shizuki have black hair with blonde bangs.
* Hikaru from ''Manga/HikaruNoGo'' has mostly black hair; his bangs are blonde.
* When the {{magical girl}}s of ''Anime/DayBreakIllusion'' transform, their hair gets rather longer and gets a gradient effect. Fairly subtle for most characters, but Priscilla's starts brown, turns red, then ends up white.
* ''LightNovel/ItsukaTenmaNoKuroUsagi'' has several examples of gradient hair. Himea has pink to blue hair with sparkles, Haruka has brown hair with purple ends, Aomi has a similar style with yellow hair, and Mirai occasionally has yellow to purple and light blue hair.
* Yoshikage Kira from ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' part 4 gets Norman Osbourne green-and-black stripes at one point.
** Jolyne has green bangs and braids, with the rest of her hair blue.
* In ''Anime/JuushinkiPandora'', Leon has blonde hair on the back and red on the front, while Doug has green hair with some tips orange colored. Queenie's silver hair turns pale blue at the tips, while Jay's mostly black hair has a prominent red stripe.
* Yukari from ''Anime/{{K}}'' has ([[AgentPeacock dyed]]) purple hair with blue parts over his shoulders on either side. Notably, none of the other characters have unnatural hair colors (except for [[MysticalWhiteHair white/silver/slight pink tone]]) besides Yukari and [[FieryRedhead Mikoto]], who WordOfGod says dyes it. Misaki's is canonically "chestnut", and the Blue Clansmen with blue hair actually have [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack black hair]].
* In ''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'', when Shizuku [[PowerDyesYourHair activates her Kampfer power, her hair turns white on the inside]], sometimes rainbow.
* ''Anime/KillLaKill'':
** [[TheHero Ryuko Matoi]] has black and red hair. It's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] considering it comes from her status as a [[spoiler:[[HalfHumanHybrid human/Life Fiber hybrid]]]].
** [[BigBad Ragyo Kiryuin]] has rainbow hair. For the record, LightIsNotGood is in full effect here.
* ''Anime/{{Kiznaiver}}'':
** Katsuhira's hair is off-white and brown.
** Nico's hair is orange with (dyed) teal streaks.
* ''Anime/{{Macross}}'':
** ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'': Sheryl Nome has pink hair with blonde highlights, or vice versa. [[note]] It was then stated, however, that her hair was a strawberry-blond color, so her multicoloredness might just be a side-effect of the animation. [[/note]]
** ''Anime/MacrossDelta'': Freyja Wion has pinkish-orange hair with blond tips and roots, while Mikumo Guynemer has purple hair with blue-gray highlights. Justified by the former being [[HumanAliens Windermerian]] and the latter being [[spoiler:an ArtificialHuman]].
** The [[HumanAliens Zolans]], introduced in ''[[Anime/Macross7 Dynamite 7]]'', seem to have two-toned hair as a racial trait.
* The titular character of ''Manga/MajinTanteiNougamiNeuro'' has blond hair with brown bangs.
* The titular ''Manga/{{Mao}}'' has black hair with a white fringe.
* ''Anime/MarginalNumber4'' has idol duo Lagrange Point, both of whom have blue and purple streaks in their hair.
* In ''Manga/NewMazinger'' -a ''Anime/MazingerZ'' spin-off- [[NotAsYouKnowThem Major Kabuto]] is black-haired, but his hair's central part is red.
* The anime adaptation of ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' gave all the female dragons colored tips. Yana's hair is also green and yellow, though at least one of those colors is probably due to hair dye.
* ''Manga/{{Nanbaka}}'' has cell 13's prisoners - three out of four of them have this trope. Specifically, Rock has purple hair with a large red stripe through the middle, Jyugo has black hair with red tips and Uno's hair is pink and orange.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': In the flashbacks to the Warring States era, it is shown that Hashirama's and Tobirama's little brother, Itama, had black and white hair -- a combination of his older brothers' hair colors.
* Negi and his father, Nagi, from ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' have auburn hair on the top and black hair in the back.
* Jibril from ''LightNovel/NoGameNoLife'' also has rainbow hair, starting with a red-ish pink at the top and going all the way down to purple.
* ''Manga/NuraRiseOfTheYokaiClan'':
** Rikuo's normal hair is brown on top and black in the back and when, turned into a demon, his brown hair turns white.
** Yuki-Onna/Tsurara has a hair color similar to Rikuo's demon form as well, only bluer.
** Gyuuki's hair is green and black in the same pattern as Tsurara's.
* Half the hair on Jio's head from ''Manga/OPartsHunter'' is white, to go along with his heterochromia. Being possessed by Satan does wonders for his personal appearance. After the {{Timeskip}}, the wonders [[{{Bishounen}} aren't just for his hair]], but his hair still is uncommon for the place where he lives.
* Seikichi from ''Anime/OhEdoRocket'' has a spiky orange fringe in the front and a fairly normal brown ponytail in the back. Interestingly, it's similar to Negi below, and Sora comments on this in a dub ActorAllusion.
* Rebecca Miyamoto from ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'' has hair that is part blonde, part pink. Presumably, it's because she's [[ButNotTooForeign half-American and half-Japanese]].
* Stocking from ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' has dark blue hair with pink highlights. Furthermore, her hair seems to be blue on the outside and pink toward her scalp.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'': Kiawe has brown hair with red sections. It seems to be genetic, as his mother and little sister also have red streaks in their hair.
** Risa from ''Anime/PokemonThePowerOfUs'' has blonde hair with pink and aqua green tips.
* ''Anime/{{Potemayo}}'' is full of gradient-haired characters, and some of them are two-colored, such as pink/blonde on the titular [[{{Moe}} moeblob]], purple/magenta on Guchuko, and blue/green on Nene.
* In ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
** In the manga, the rare color renderings of Akari Unryû give her greenish hair with two pink stripes.
** Prince Herb of the Musk Dynasty (pronounced like the plant, not "Herbert") has long white hair that goes pink at the ends, except for his front bangs, which are navy blue.
* In ''LightNovel/RebuildWorld'', Akira's hair is black with yellow streaks, much like a StockShonenHero even though his [[UnscrupulousHero personality is largely anything but.]]
* In the epilogue of ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'', [[spoiler:Moka's hair turns white and pink, since [[SplitPersonalityMerge her two personalities have become one]].]]
* Gai from ''AudioPlay/SaintBeast'' has blond hair with brown tips.
* Death the Kid from ''Manga/SoulEater'' has black hair with three white stipes that only cover half of his head, a fact that greatly annoys him because he has OCD and is extremely obsessed with symmetry. This is in a series where many characters have close-to if not exactly realistic hair colours. Kid's case is unusual and down to genetics (for want of a better word). Death is a Shiningami and those lines are the Sanzu Lines. When they connect, he will become a full Shiningami and succed his father. [[spoiler: Near the end, he connects all of them, Lord Death fades into dust, proud of his son growing up.]]
* ''Anime/StarDriver'''s Takuto has deep red hair normally, but gains a brighter red color and yellow bangs when he Apprivoises.
* In the world of ''Anime/StrikeWitches'', where {{Magical Girl}}s grow animal ears and tails when using their magic, Erica Hartmann just gains black highlights at the ends of her bangs.
* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'':
** Nia has pastel blue and yellow hair, layered in such a way that one might think the blue parts were the shadows at first.
** Less noticeably, Kittan's hair is blond on top, but the sides, back, and eyebrows are either brown or black.
* Sunny in ''Manga/{{Toriko}}'', though each color tells what purpose his hair's many feelers are used for.
* ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'': Lum in the manga had full-blown rainbow-colored hair that seemed to shift colors, yet this is hard to tell because colored images of it were often inked over a majority of it. The anime simplified it to lime green, something the manga [[RetCanon gradually changed to match]].
* [[YouAreNumberSix H-neun]] from ''Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator'' has blond hair at the top, and brown under it. In the flashback parts, his hair is all brown, implying that he dyed the blond part.
* Bear from ''Anime/YokaiWatch'' has half of his hair as brown but the top is black. It's possible either one is dyed.
* ''Franchise/YuGiOh'':
** Yugi Mutou has purple and black hair with blond bangs, and it is implied that his grandfather looked like this when he was younger.
** The Pharaoh was shown with these hair colors when he was born, but his dad has black hair, like a normal Egyptian. Some suspect that he got his hair from his unseen mother; on the other hand, anime hair doesn't exactly have to follow logic and science.
*** Jossed. There's a blink and you'll miss it page in the manga when a flashback during the Millennium World arc shows the Pharaoh's mother holding him as a baby. Her hair is as black as her husband's. So likely it is just anime hair being anime hair.
** It has become custom for the protagonist of every new Yu-Gi-Oh series to have multicolored hair:
*** Judai of ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' has dark brown and light brown hair. And this actually quite normal when compared to the succeeding protagonists.
*** Yusei of ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' has dark blue hair with golden streaks on either side.
*** Yuma from ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'' has dark purple hair with magenta bangs.
*** Yuya of ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' has two-tone green and red hair which earned him the fandom nickname of Tomato.
*** Yusaku of ''Anime/YuGiOhVRAINS'' takes this up another level - as Yusaku, he has dark blue hair with a lighter blue and bright pink bangs. As Playmaker, his cyberspace dueller persona, his hair changes color entirely and becomes red with blonde bangs and pink streaks.

[[folder:Asian Animation]]
* The ''Animation/HappyHeroes'' character Nine has hair that is entirely white on one side of her head and entirely black on the other.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Audio Plays]]
* ''AudioPlay/ExitTunesPresentsACTORS'' has Mike Enjouji, whose hair is fire-engine red save for one gray streak.
** Phys Ed teacher Kagetora Chouno has an undercut where the top part of his hair is reddish-brown and the bottom part a darker brown.
** Broadcasting Club VP Seijun Yuyama has teal hair with highlights in a lighter shade at the tips.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/TheSandman'':
** Delirium has blondish-reddish-purplish-whatever-she-feels-like hair. It both changes color on a regular basis and is generally multicolored at any given time.
** Rose Walker also has multicolored hair. It's blonde, red, and blue in ''The Doll's House'', and then red with a blonde streak when she resurfaces in ''The Kindly Ones''. Toward the end of the series, possibly as a symbol of finally coming to accept herself, she goes back to her natural color . . . which is ''puce''. (Her grandmother and mother are also shown to have this hair color, meaning that yep! it's real.)
* Melaka Fray from the comic books ''ComicBook/{{Fray}}'' and ''ComicBook/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' has blue and purple two-toned hair.
* ComicBook/{{Rogue}} of ''ComicBook/XMen'' has a white streak in her brown hair. Jury's out as to just how she got it.
** TheMovie: LockedIntoStrangeness;
** The Comic: FlipFlopOfGod. Initially, she was drawn to be a woman in her sixties--the white streak was graying hair. When her age was settled down at being seventeen, the white streak was referenced as being dyed. When her backstory was established, she had the white streak even as a thirteen-year-old. While it's possible it was dyed, fans were unsure, since the placement of the white streak varied quite strongly whenever her look was changed. Finally, in her solo series, her hair is shown with a white streak from when she was a toddler, making it a physical mutation.
* ComicBook/NormanOsborn from ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' is drawn with red hair with black stripes, though it's possible that his hair is just in waves and that the red is to show the raised areas.
* Franchise/{{Batman}}'s ComicBook/TwoFace has black hair on his normal side of his face and white hair on his scarred side ([[DependingOnTheArtist when artists don't just make]] [[BaldOfEvil his left side bald]]).
* In the [[ComicBook/{{New 52}} 2011 relaunch]] of ''ComicBook/SuicideSquad'', ComicBook/HarleyQuinn of Franchise/{{Batman}} fame has hair that is half red, half blue.
* The titular ComicBook/{{XIII}} has a white stripe of hair, the result of being grazed by a bullet.
* Melissa Gold, a.k.a. Songbird of the ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} has white hair with pink streaks. It's apparently natural.
* ''ComicBook/WarOfKings'', trying to make the Inhumans look more, well, inhuman, drew the dark stripe and circle in Crystal's otherwise reddish-blonde hair, which in earlier stories seemed to be a weird hairband, as her actual hair colour.
* Abby in ''ComicBook/SwampThing'' has white hair with a black streak on each side - sort of reverse {{Skunk Stripe}}s.
* It's almost easier to name ''ComicBook/JemAndTheHologramsIDW'' characters who don't have their hair dyed multiple shades. The Misfits have theirs as DelinquentHair:
** Pizzazz has a green mohawk that has some blonde and red highlights, with her natural black hair sometimes showing underneath.
** Jetta has black hair with white highlights.
** Stormer dyes her hair blue but has some of her naturally black hair uncolored.
** Blaze has red hair with blonde highlights.
** Clash has red hair with blue and green highlights.
** Rio has his hair in two different shades of purple.
* ''ComicBook/TheUnbelievableGwenpool'' has blonde and pink hair.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fanfiction]]
* [[DarkSkinnedBlonde Nestis Towadi]] from ''Fanfic/DJINNWayToHome'' has platinum blonde hair with brown streaks, the result of the mixed ancestry from her Native American father and blonde mother. Nestis is sensitive about her unusual coloration, but the only person who criticizes her hair is the local AlphaBitch. Everyone else loves her look, especially [[GenkiGirl Ingrid Hale]] who is borderline ''obsessed'' with Nestis' hair.
* From ''Webcomic/KillLaKillAU'', Ragyou also has this true to canon, usually. It also serves as KaleidoscopeHair, apparently, as it reacts to her mood, as was shown in a few comics.
* ''Fanfic/LightAndDarkTheAdventuresOfDarkYagami'' takes this UpToEleven, when Dark transforms into Du'arq, his Shinigami form, his hair is said to change to "every color of the rainbow but only in dark black like oil or something."
* Creator/DetsniyOffSkiword has used this at least twice. In his Kid Icarus fanfic, [[RonTheDeathEater Pit2]] gains "Dark Black Rainbow Hair" in his SuperMode. In his ''VideoGame/NintendoWars'' fanfic, his [[SailorEarth new CO, Dusk]], is said to have hair that is black and blue.
* The “Urb” G'heddi'onians in ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World'' usually dye their hair several or many colors. And when George becomes one so he can sneak around [[FloatingContinent the Flying Island of Tipaan]], he gives himself full rainbow hair.
* In the one-shot ''Fanfic/LastCall'', Lapis has black hair with blue tips instead of pure blue hair like in canon.
* In ''Fanfic/TokimekiPokeLiveAndTwinbee'', like their Canon counterparts, [[Anime/PokemonThePowerOfUs Risa]], who has blonde hair with pink and aqua green tips and [[VideoGame/LoveLiveSchoolIdolFestivalAllStars Yuu]], who has black hair with green tips on her pigtails. [[OriginalCharacter Beverly]] also counts, since she has brown hair with blue tips on the ends of her sideburns.
* ''Fanfic/MyHeroPlaythrough'': [[Characters/BatmanHarleyQuinn Harley Quinn]] in this story has the half-red half-blue hair her canon counterpart once sported. Only here it is natural and the byproduct of her Quirk. She states that when she used to be blonde, that was the dye job.
* ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' starts its first sentence by telling us Enoby has "long ebony black hair (that's how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* Cruella de Vil from ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' has hair that's half black and half white. (According to some, this symbolizes that she's TwoFaced.) Perhaps surprisingly, this is carried over from the book rather than a Disney invention. See the Literature section.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* ''Film/AvengersEndgame'': Natasha, who had dyed her hair platinum blonde in ''[[Film/AvengersInfinityWar Infinity War]]'', sports red hair with blond streaks after the five-year timeskip following Thanos' snap. This likely represents her grief and apathy regarding her physical appearance that she lets her original hair color slowly return, instead of dyeing it a uniform color.
* Instead of the MysticalWhiteHair implied in the book, the film adaptation of ''Film/CloudAtlas'' has the Fabricants go for a more traditional Asian hair cut, but with a few colored streaks in their hair.
* ''Film/HarryPotter'': Narcissa Malfoy has dark brown hair that she ties back and white-blonde hair that hangs loose, neatly symbolizing her being a part of the brunette-haired Black and blonde-haired Malfoy families. In the [[Literature/HarryPotter books]], Narcissa is flat out blonde, making her an odd duck in her birth family (weirdly, she is considered a normal member and just as elitist as any other pureblood. It's her brunette-haired older sister, Andromeda, who is a WhiteSheep). Creator/HelenMcCrory was full blonde when she was first seen on set, but for some reason this didn't stick for the rest of the shooting.
* The patchwork man in ''Mr Stitch'' has multicolored hair across the spectrum of possibilities for a human scalp.
* In ''Film/PacificRim'', [[http://www.filmofilia.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PACIFIC-RIM-Rinko-Kikuchi-As-Mako-Mori.jpg Mako Mori]] has some bright blue mixed in with her natural black hair, due to exposure to the poisonous agent Kaiju Blue.
* In ''Film/{{Poltergeist|1982}}'', Diane Freeling's trip through the afterlife to rescue her daughter leaves her with a streak of white at each temple. She is reluctant to dye them back, thinking they look "punk" (and possibly seeing them as a badge of pride).
* In ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', Knives tries to dye her hair blue in order to compete with currently-blue-haired rival Ramona. She winds up with hair that is half blue and half (natural) black. Then she gets her highlights punched off and the whole thing is for naught.
* In ''Film/SkyHigh2005'', Warren Peace has dark hair with a red streak in it. Magenta has black hair with purple streaks, which even carry over onto the fur of her guinea pig transformation.
* Karai from ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014'' has black and pink hair.
* Blink from ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', has dark hair with purple streaks.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* ''Literature/ArtemisFowl: The Lost Colony'' has Billy Kong, a mercenary with a criminal record in Taiwan, who nevertheless has several (unspecified) colors in his "manga hair". FridgeBrilliance may be involved here: it's implied that this, plus his slight build, leads people to underestimate him and not suspect that he's a professional assassin.
* ''Literature/AvalonWebOfMagic'' combines this trope with PowerDyesYourHair. When Kara's magic manifested for the first time in ''All That Glitters'', her hair turns rainbow.
* [[Myth/CelticMythology Cu Chulainn]] is most often described in Irish myth as dark-haired, but ''Literature/TheCattleRaidOfCooley'' gives him three different hair colors at once (and that's the ''least'' strange feature ''The Cattle Raid'' attributes to him):
-->You would think he had three distinct heads of hair -- brown at the base, blood-red in the middle, and a crown of golden yellow. This hair was settled strikingly into three coils on the cleft at the back of his head. Each long loose-flowing strand hung down in shining splendour over his shoulders, deep-gold and beautiful and fine as a thread of gold. A hundred neat red-gold curls shone darkly on his neck, and his head was covered with a hundred crimson threads matted with gems.
* Louis Veyrenc de Bilhc, from Creator/FredVargas' novels (introduced in ''This Night's Foul Work''), has brown hair with red stripes. This is because when he was a child, he had been attacked by kids from the neighboring village ; they had slashed his scalp with glass shards, and where he had been cut, his hair grew back red.
* ''Literature/TheCosmere'':
** ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'': The Alethi people have pure black hair; those with mixed ancestry have streaks of something else, like blond or auburn, mixed in. The Irali people's metallic gold hair behaves in the same manner.
** ''Literature/{{Warbreaker}}'': The Royal House of Idris have hair that changes color in response to their emotions. When a character is feeling several emotions at once, or trying and not wholly succeeding in controlling their hair, they may have only some hair change color.
* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' series Death's adopted daughter Ysabel has black hair with a white streak, while her daughter Susan has white hair with a black streak.
* In ''Literature/TheFairyRebel'' by Lynne Reid Banks, a girl is born with a patch of blue in her mostly-brown hair, due to a mix-up by the fairy responsible for her birth.
* As noted above, Cruella de Vil of ''Literature/TheHundredAndOneDalmatians'' had hair that's half-black, half-white. After she goes through a short but thorough HumiliationConga that was sadly left out of the Disney version, the black half goes white and the white half goes ''green'', apparently from stress.
* The protagonist in Caroline B. Cooney's ''Literature/LosingChristina'' series has hair that is a combination of silver, gold, and sable.
* The heroine of Creator/VCAndrews' ''Literature/MySweetAudrina'' frequently describes her color as "chameleon": a mixture of platinum blonde, chestnut, red, gold, and white.
** Not to be outdone, her rival in the same book has ''apricot''-colored hair.
* In ''Literature/{{Newsflesh}}'', the character known as "the Fox" [[spoiler:formerly Elaine Oldenburg]] started with naturally red hair, then added white with black tips.

[[folder:Real Life]]
* [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poliosis Poliosis]] is a condition that causes locks or patches of hair to turn white, which is sometimes associated with conditions like Waardenburg syndrome (see SkunkStripe).
* Doc Hammer's (of ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' fame) hair naturally grows in shades of blond and black. He attributes this to "a pigmentation problem or a birthmark or something".
* While not natural, thanks to advancements in hair-dye, hair can be "low-lighted" with shades more intense than the original hair color. Since permanent dyes exist, and hair grows from the roots outward, even if you dyed your entire head, in a few months you'd have multi-colored hair.
* The story goes that when the pilot of ''Series/{{Alias}}'' was being produced, a girl was spotted on a college campus with horizontal stripes in her hair. A producer offered her $100 to cut a lock of it off, as one of the stripes was the exact color they wanted for Sydney's wig.
* Many dogs and cats have multiple colors in their fur. In some dog breeds, such as Pomeranians, this is sometimes referred to as a "parti-color." The tabby coloration in cats is another example in animals.
* Some hair lighteners cause a prismatic effect in strong sunlight.
* People with black hair sometimes have their hair exposed to sun the most turns brown while the rest remains black.

It's her brunette-haired older sister, Andromeda, who is a WhiteSheep). Creator/HelenMcCrory was full blonde when she was first seen on set, but for some reason this didn't stick for the rest of the shooting.

* [[DarkSkinnedBlonde Nestis Towadi]] from ''Fanfic/DJINNWayToHome'' has platinum blonde hair with brown streaks, the result of the MixedAncestry from her Native American father and blonde mother. Nestis is sensitive about her unusual coloration, but the only person who criticizes her hair is the local AlphaBitch. Everyone else loves her look, especially [[GenkiGirl Ingrid Hale]] who is borderline ''obsessed'' with Nestis' hair.

* ''Anime/DigimonUniverseApplimonsters'' has Eri, who has pink hair in three different shades; the tips of her long pigtails are a lighter shade of pink from most of her hair, while [[IdiotHair a single strand of hair]] is a brighter pink. A milder example is Rei, who has a single dark streak on the front of his dark green hair.
