What causes hair to turn gray at an older age?
Hair turns gray due to a decrease in production of melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. As we age, the cells responsible for producing melanin become less active, leading to a gradual loss of color in the hair. Genetics also play a role in determining when and how quickly this process occurs.
Why does hair lighten with age?
As we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color.

Why does your hair fall out after chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy is used to fight the cancer cells, but in the process it can also be harmful to other cells in your body that these drugs mistake for cancer cells. The way chemotherapy works is that it targets whatever cells are rapidly dividing. For this reason, the cells in your body that make hair grow so fast get harmed along with the cancer cells. Fortunately, the cells that produce your hair ca eventually go back to normal and your hair growth will resume again.
