the base of the hair root has a folicle which with time becomes damaged and ceases to produce its natural chemicle and it is this chemicle that colours the hair. herefore when that ceases to nourish the hair the hair then becomes colourless and grey it will eventually turn white when the folicles are totally damaged.
