The reason hair goes gray is because of the loss of melanin, which is the pigment in our hair (and skin) that gives it it’s colour. Melanin is produced by cells that are called melanocytes. These melanocytes eventually die and so the production of melanin is stopped. The concentration of melanin in the hair shaft decreases and where there is no colour there is gray. And then when the melanin disappears completely the hair is white. It is not known exactly how hair loses its pigment.
Going gray is part of life.
As we get older the pigment (color) cells in the roots of our hair — our hair follicles — gradually die. As the color cells die, the hair loses its color and it becomes transparent.
The age that we start going gray is determined by our genetics. Some people go gray very young.

I heard on the radio a few months back that research is showing it is a lack of a certain enzyme being made as frequent as before. Of course, grey hair also depends on genetics and other things that, I think, include the enzymes.
I have included a website article that further explains this.

Gray hair is a genetic thing. It comes from your genetics, not from stress or none of that.
