 Why do hair become white?


  Hair become white in color over age, although some have white hairs in a very early age. So let's know why does this happen...

  As we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die or become weak. Due to less pigment, our hair follicles don't produce the protein melanin which is supposed to keep your hair and skin dark. 

  That is how our hairs go white with age. But what about people with white hairs at a young age?

  Generally genetic faults are the reason behind white hairs at a young age. But vitamin deficiency, cancer, smoking, stress can also lead to white hairs at young age.
