Why does your hair turns grey because the pigment granules found in the outer layer of hair?
Hair turns grey as the body produces less melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. As melanin production decreases with age, hair strands lose their color and appear grey or white.
Where in hair are pigment granules found?
Pigments are materials that are used to add color to different things, and the pigments themselves are often found as fine granules suspended in what they are adding color to. In the case of paint, for example, white paint has a red pigment added, and the actual material that gives the paint the red color is finely ground "red" pigment. The red pigment granules are suspended in the paint, and the paint will then appear red.
What is haemozoin?
It is a pigment that contains iron. When it accumulates it becomes granules in malaria parasites. This pigment is the bad result made by hemoglobin.

Why is your hair color they color it is?
Hair color is caused by the pigments in your body. The less pigment you have the lighter your hair. Less pigment also means you will have lighter skin that is why people who have darker skin have darker natural hair usually and why people with lighter skin have lighter hair. the amount of pigment you have depends on who your parents are. If your parents have more pigment you will probably have more pigment and if your parents have less pigment you will probably have less. Hope this helps! :)

What color human hair has the most hairs per follicle?
Answer:There is only one hair per follicle, but natural blond hair has the most hairs than red or brunetts.Hair color is the pigmentation of hair follicles due to the two types of melanin, eumelanin and phaeomelanin. Generally, if more melanin is present in the hair, the color of the hair is darker; if less melanin is present, the hair color is lighter. A person's hair color may change over time due to the varying levels of melanin, and some hair can have follicles of more than one color. Due to migrations and global travel, considerable differences exist in the hair colors of individuals, even between individuals of similar ethnicity, creating a greatly increased diversity of hair color.Pigmentationcolor is perhaps the most obvious characteristic of hair, but as far as we know it has no biological function in humans. It does not protect the hair from the harmful effects of sunlight (although hair itself protects the scalp, of course).As we have seen, the color of hair is due to the presence in the cortex of granules of a pigment called melanin, which is formed in special pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) in the hair bulb during the growing phase (anagen) of each hair. The melanin granules lie along the amino acid chains of the proteins, looking under the microscope rather like a string of pearls.Melanin is found in two forms. Eumelanin is the dark pigment which predominates in black and brunette hair. Phaeomelanin is a lighter pigment, which is found in red and blond hair. Many people's hair contains a mixture of the two: the more eumelanin there is in the mixture, the darker is the hair. The mixture (and the shade) varies not only from one person to another, but also across one person's head. The combination of pigments in the mixture is determined by the individual's genes. Differences between dark-haired people are due to differences in the overall quantities of melanins in their hair.Eumelanin granules are oval (elliptical) in shape, fairly uniform in their make-up and quite hard, with sharply defined edges. Phaeomelanin granules are smaller, partly oval and partly rod-shaped.The range of colors produced by melanins is limited to shades of yellow, brown, red and black. Grey hairs contain only a few melanin granules, spread out through the hair. White hairs contain no melanin at all: their whiteness is an optical effect, due to the way they reflect the light. Surprisingly, however, unpigmented hairs look yellow (the 'color' of keratin) when they first grow, and only later turn white.Melanin granules in the cortex of a hairGenetic differencesEthnic differences in hair color are as obvious as are differences in hair type. Most people in the world have dark hair, though in northern Europe blond hair is the most common. Curiously, however, people with blond hair and/or blue eyes are found even in North Africa and the Middle East.
