They kind of stopped doing it for later years. For example, Boisenberry Pie. Later years had mostly theme and gimmick sets rather than just unicorn, pegasi, and earth sets too.
Maybe they grow it during puberty, or once they really get a grip on their magic powers, or simply when their magic abilities mature to their full (adult) power.
I love the magic hair stripe. When I draw the later years unicorns, I sometimes add the stripe Hasbro denied them in real life. Here I gave Tabby a yellow stripe:visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I have Rattles, and love the idea of him and Tattles having different hair stripes so that they're not entirely identical. Like, if Rattles got blue and Tattles got red.
On the stripe note, the Mountain Boys and Big Brothers also have this stripe feature. I don't know if we should consider that as them all being descended from unicorn blood or not though?

This is one of the reasons I love Gypsy. She's a complete social renegade Aside those with rainbow hair (TE and Rainbow Ponies), the stripe in the unicorn hair happens all the way to 1987 (So Softs - Bangles, TAF Milky Way, and here, Buttons and Gusty from the movie line). All except Gypsy, who came out in 1986 but apparently stuck two hooves up at the idea of convention and didn't bother to have a streak. She had freckles instead On the stripe note, the Mountain Boys and Big Brothers also have this stripe feature.

I like the unicorn stripe! I guess the reason they got it originally was because in the first set every unicorn had either white hair or a white body. So the streak was added to have some more color variety. Later we got unicorns that didn't have white anywhere, but they still kept using the streak for a while. But white was still used for unicorns a lot, for the first few years with the exception of Minty they were the only ponies with (intentionally) white hair.
