White Hair? Hope not! I've never known koi that grew hair before! (LOL) But if it's a white fuzz around the eggs, it's most likely dead. Note that not all the eggs will hatch! The ones that turns white are DEAD! and the one's that are clear with a black dot in it are still alive. In fact the dot is the eyes.
Fry's are very succeptible to diseases and the mortality rate on fry's are very high. That why when breeders breed their koi, they will take the eggs out and dip them in a medication. ie: Malachite Green, Methelyne Blue. In your case and without experience, I would just leave them alone and let nature take it's course.
The eggs will start hatching within the week and will continue to hatch for two weeks.
I just answered a similar post re: spawning. You might want to read it.
Congrats. Mama!

. Some of them have white hair around them, is this normal?
We can see somthiing growing in alot of the others. How long will it take before we have fry swimming around the tank? Also, what do we feed them? I heard somthing about a gel, if so what is the name of it so I can go get it before they merge from their eggs. 
. They are doing good, and you can see the insides of them are growing. We are hopping that all 11 will live as a reminder of our first time with baby fri.
...if got a chance I would like to see those babies...
