Jon Snow does not have white hair because he is a Stark on his mother's side, Lyanna Stark, and inherited the dark hair of the Stark family. The Targaryen white hair is a trait from his father, Rhaegar Targaryen, but not all Targaryens necessarily have white hair, and genetic traits can be unpredictable. Jon's appearance primarily reflects his Stark heritage, which is pivotal in maintaining his identity in the narrative.
