Hello, I'm an expert in the field of hair biology and color science. When it comes to the natural aging process of hair, it's important to understand that hair color is determined by the presence of pigments, primarily eumelanin (which gives hair its black or brown color) and pheomelanin (which gives hair its yellow or red tones).
As people age, the melanocytes, which are the cells responsible for producing these pigments, gradually decrease in activity. This reduction in pigment production leads to the hair turning gray. Over time, as the melanocytes stop producing pigments altogether, the hair may turn white.
Now, to answer your specific question:
Blonde hair, like any other hair color, will also turn
gray or
white as individuals age and the pigment-producing cells become less active. The rate at which this happens can vary greatly from person to person and can be influenced by factors such as genetics, overall health, and environmental factors.
