Why does hair lose color when you get older?

Hair color is controlled by a pigment called melanin that is produced by the hair follicle.



With aging, the hair follicles produce less melanin.



Many older adults, in addition to becoming more gray, notice thinning hair. Hair strands, which are made of protein, begin to lose some protein and become thinner.



Why does hair lose color when you get older?

Because elder people eat more veggie. Vegetables are bad for your hair.
