Why Does Hair Turn Gray?

The video explains why hair turns gray as people age. Hair color is determined by melanin, produced by melanocytes in hair follicles. Over time, follicles lose melanocytes, leading to gray hair. This process varies by individual, typically starting around age 30-40. Some choose to dye their hair, while others embrace the natural gray. The video concludes by normalizing gray hair as a part of aging.
