Ever Wonder Why Your Hair Turns Grey?

As you get older, so does your hair. Getting gray, silver, or white hair is a natural part of growing older. The main reason for your hair changing color is beacuase each hair has a follice that contains pigments. The pigments in your hair contain melanin, which gives the shaft of your hair its color. As we get older the pigments in our hair gradually die and stop producing melanin, which causes your hair to lose color and turn gray or even white.
