The Potential Link Between Grey Hair and Cancer

Imagine your body has special repair cells that fix damage.

Sometimes, when these cells get damaged, they are supposed to stop working.

But if the damage is too strong, they might keep copying themselves even when they shouldn't.

This could be why hair turns grey, because the color-making cells are damaged and stop working properly.

Scientists think that if these damaged repair cells don't stop working and instead keep copying themselves, it might also lead to some types of cancer, like skin cancer.
