The colour of human hair is due to the pigment “melanin” produced by melanocytes,
the same cells which are responsible for the pigmentation of our skin. There are two main forms of
hair pigment. There's eumelanin and pheomelanin. Eumelanin is what we see in brunettes and
darker-haired people, and pheomelanin is what we see in blonds and redheads.
These Melanocytes are located in the hair follicle which is basically from where the root of the hair
originates. Each hair grows from a single Hair follicle.
As the strand of the hair grows, melanocytes inject the pigment (melanin) into cells containing
keratin.
Keratin is the protein that makes up our hair, skin, and nails. Throughout the years,
melanocytes continue to inject pigment into the hair’s keratin, giving it a colorful hue.
With age comes a reduction of melanin. The hair turns grey and eventually white, and this is a
natural process. But the problem arises when this reduction in the production of melanin comes
early in age due to some other reasons and there are plenty of reasons due to which this can occur.
Let's look at some of the most common reasons for premature greying of hair.
