Because of work and age, I found that I have more and more white hair. Why is it easier for people to grow white hair when they are older?

    It is relatively common for people to grow white hair when they are old. When we were young, our hair was darkened by pigments produced by cells called melanocytes in the hair follicles. With the increase of age, the activity of melanocytes gradually decreases, the pigments produced also decrease, the hair color fades, and white hair grows.
