Why does your hair turn white when you get old?
When these cells in our hair stop producing the pigment or melanin the result is a transparent hair. It can happen at any age!

As we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. Fewer pigment cells mean white or silver hair. ChaCha!
