Your observation is intriguing. Let's explore possible explanations:

*Possible Causes*

1. *Stress-induced hair growth*: Shaving or tonsuring can cause physical stress, leading to an increase in white hair growth due to the body's response to stress.
2. *Hormonal fluctuations*: Changes in hormone levels, such as an increase in cortisol, can affect hair growth and pigmentation.
3. *Increased blood flow*: Shaving or tonsuring can increase blood flow to the scalp, potentially stimulating hair growth.
4. *Pre-existing condition*: You may have had a pre-existing condition, such as vitiligo or alopecia, that was exacerbated by the shaving or tonsuring process.

*Tips to Prevent or Reduce White Hair Growth*

1. *Reduce stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.
2. *Maintain a balanced diet*: Eat a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly those that promote hair growth like biotin, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids.
3. *Use gentle hair care products*: Avoid harsh chemicals and use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos.
4. *Protect your hair from sun damage*: Use a hat or a hair serum with SPF to protect your hair from UV damage.
5. *Consider natural remedies*: Certain natural remedies like amla oil, coconut oil, and rosemary essential oil may help promote hair growth and reduce white hair.
