What Causes Hair To Go Grey Then White With Age

bliss22 asked:

Hair color changes to grey, then white as we age.

Why?

And is there a way to prevent this from happening or reverse grey hair?

    U could just dye it til u are 90 and then let it go blue.

    The older we get the more we mature. To prevent it, dye your hair color. I’m 29 and starting to get white hair…so when my hair start turning white or grey, I’m gonna dye my head! :P

    The keratin (color producing protein) in your body stops producing. You can’t prevent it, it’s just something that happens. It could be age or genetics. Some women have been completely grey at 19. The only thing you can do when it happens is start coloring your hair.

    It has to do with the production of pigment. Over the years, the cells make less and less pigment until hair has very little.

    besides dying it i dont think so i guess its the stress with getting old

    in the root of the hair follicle pigment is produced by cells called melanocytes. When we get older these cells die off and quit producing pigment in the hair and it turns white
