Gray Hair And Haematology: A Union of Deficiency

SUMMARY

Graying of hair is one inevitable condition of life; gray hair can start appearing on one’s head or other parts of the body at one time or another, but if one lives till he or she is old, it must appear. Hair gets gray when the production of melanin, the chemical that gives hair its colour, is reduced or stopped for any of the follicles; the new hair that will grow out will no longer have color. Usually, graying comes

with old age, but sometimes it starts early in some individuals based on their genes or other conditions.
