Although traditionally associated with the scalp, poliosis can affect any hairy area on the body, including eyebrows, eyelashes, and beards. Microscopically, poliosis is marked by the lack of melanin or melanocytes in the hair bulbs, though epidermal melanocytes typically remain unaffected unless associated with conditions like vitiligo.

Eyelid skin can in some cases push eyelashes downwards into the person's field of view (evidenced by the downward-pointing lashes in the central and inner portions of the eyelid, but upward curling lashes in the outer portion). This usually only becomes noticeable to individuals with longer and thicker lashes.
