Gray hair appears when melanocytes—cells responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color—stop functioning properly. This occurs mainly due to:

Natural aging: Over the years, melanocytes produce less melanin.

Chronic stress: Increases cellular wear and tear and accelerates color loss.

Genetic factors: Influence the age at which gray hair begins to appear.

Nutritional deficiencies: Low levels of vitamin B12, copper, or iron can contribute to its appearance.
