Best Answer

Hair goes gray or white when melanin is stopped being produced in the follicle. Melanin produces colour. There is no way to stop this. They say that smokers are 4 times more likely to prematurely go gray, so if you smoke maybe think about giving it up. Look hair up in Wikipedia to get all the facts.
