Why Hair Turns Gray Science Explained | Bismarck News
Description
Why does your hair turn gray? It’s all about melanin—and your genes. As melanocytes in your hair follicles slow down with age, your hair loses color, turning gray or white. While genetics largely determine when this starts—usually between your 30s and 40s—stress and smoking can speed things up. You can’t stop it entirely, but eating well, managing stress, and getting enough iron and B12 might help slow the process. In rare cases, some color may return if stem cells are still active. No magic cure exists yet, but understanding this natural biological shift can help you embrace the change.
