Gray hairs are wiry due to changes in the hair follicle structure and decreased moisture. As hair loses melanin, it also often loses some of its natural oils, making it coarser and more prone to dryness. Regular conditioning can help soften these hairs. Using a leave-in conditioner and avoiding excessive heat styling can also maintain hair’s softness and manageability.
