 Why Hair Turns White (or Gray)

Loss of Melanin

Hair color comes from a pigment called melanin, produced by special cells called melanocytes in the hair follicles.

Lack of vitamins like B12, folic acid, and iron can contribute to premature graying.

Once hair turns white, it usually doesn’t regain its original color naturally (unless the cause is nutritional deficiency and it’s corrected)
