I think sheen from your hair is produced less and less until no more, I think.

Melanocyte cells slow down in their production of melanin,which is common in old age and each hair strand generally loses its color and results in white hair.

There are also many other factors that affect this but the primary cause is heredity.

The gray hair is non-pigmented which makes it appear white or gray.
