When people get older, their hair can turn gray or white! 🌟 This happens because the tiny color factories in our hair (called melanin) slow down and stop making color. It's like running out of paint in a coloring book!
Everyone's hair turns gray at different times—some when they're older, some when they're younger. It's totally normal and makes people look wise and special! ✨
People go gray because of tiny cells called melanocytes that stop producing melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. 🎨 As we age, these cells slow down or stop working, and hair grows without color—making it look gray, silver, or white!
Genetics play a big role—if your parents went gray early, you might too! Stress and health can also affect it, but mostly, it's just a natural part of growing older. 👵👴
Gray hair is caused by the gradual loss of melanin, the pigment produced by specialized cells called melanocytes in hair follicles. As we age, these cells become less active or die, reducing pigment production. Without melanin, hair loses its color and appears gray or white. ⚪
While stress might play a small role, it’s mostly a natural, unavoidable process—and a sign of wisdom! 🧓
