Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The less melanin, the more gray hair. If a person has gray hair that turns completely white, it means that there is no melanin in the keratin. This also means that the body has stopped producing melanin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Harvard scientists proposed that a failure of melanocyte stem cells (MSC) to maintain the production of melanocytes could cause the graying of hair. This failure of MSC maintenance may result in the breakdown of signals that produce hair color.

Detailed explanation-3: -However, the rate of hair colour loss is largely determined by your genes. The chances are that you will experience premature greying if your parents do.
