Hair loses its pigment primarily due to a decrease in melanin production, which is responsible for hair color. As people age, melanocyte cells in hair follicles gradually reduce their melanin output, leading to gray or white hair. Genetic factors and certain health conditions can also influence the rate of pigment loss. Additionally, oxidative stress and environmental factors may contribute to the degradation of melanin over time.

Hair color is caused by the pigments in your body. The less pigment you have the lighter your hair.

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! :)
