Both gray and white hair are the result of your hair losing its pigment. When there is a significant reduction in the pigment, the hair turns gray. When there is absolutely no pigment present, it turns white. But, the exact causes of gray and white hair are still inconclusive.
A trauma or shock can âturn you gray overnightâ is a popular misconception about âgoing grayâ. In reality, only a rare condition known as alopecia areata can cause this phenomenon to occur. This condition causes the darker and thicker strands of hair to stop growing before it affects the gray strands.
