Gray hair actually grows no faster or slower than pigmented hair does. However, when the hair turns gray it can often undergo more changes than merely color, many times changing in texture, porosity and wave pattern. Actually, “turning gray” is a misnomer, since the hair actually goes gray when the melanocytes in the hair follicle stop producing melanin (which gives the hair its color) and the newly growing hair fiber emerges without pigmentation.
