It didn't.

During the encounter with the 'burning bush', The Bible does not say that Moses' hair turned white....but his HAND did. When he saw the 'burning bush', he 'concealed his face', but nothing is mentioned about his hair.(Exodus 3:1-6). As God spoke to Moses, explaining what was expected of him in Egypt, he demonstrated his power by turning Moses' hand 'white as snow' with leprosy, and then healing it again(Exodus 4:6-7).

Later, when Moses received the 'two tablets' with the ten commandments on them from God, his 'face emitted rays'(Exodus 34:29+30), but, again, nothing is mentioned about his 'hair turning white'. Only in the movie is this indicated, probably to make the point about the 'rays' lighting him up, but that's more 'artistic license' than factual.

In some religious interpretations, Moses' hair became white as a sign of intense shock and awe at encountering the divine in the form of the burning bush. It symbolized the profound impact of the moment and the gravity of the message he was about to receive from God.

There is nothing in the bible that says anything about his hair turning white but it does say that his hand turned white, In the movie I would say it was to replace the shine of his face after he had talked to God for he had seen the greatness of all the earth, Gods being and explained something no other will ever understand or see unless, in death, the sight he beholds was unexplainable so great belong anything we shall ever behold that it changes him in his maturity and in his wisdom in which God ar castrates, it aged him in his being and his spirit beyond the very knowledge of man.
