Have you ever wondered why, in childhood, most people have black hair, but as we get older, it turns white? In some cases, even younger people have white hair. Let’s explore this topic in this blog.
1. The ageing process: As we age, the cells responsible for producing melanin, called melanocytes, gradually become less active. This decrease in melanin production leads to a loss of pigment in the hair, resulting in gray or white strands.
2. Genetics: Genetics play a significant role in whitening hair. In some cases, people have white hair in their 20s and 30s.And some have white hair in their older age.
3. Stress and Lifestyle factors: Nowadays all people have stress more or less. Unhealthy lifestyle is also a factor. Smoking is blamed for white hair at an early age.
4. Other factors: Certain medical conditions and treatments, such as vitiligo and chemotherapy, can also cause hair to turn white.
