Does grey hair fall out faster?

I've started noticing more grey hairs, and it seems like they fall out much faster than my natural hair. Is it true that grey hair tends to be more fragile or fall out quicker?

Hair fall is usually more about your diet, stress, and protein intake than the color of the hair itself. I noticed my hair quality improved a lot when I started eating enough protein and working out regularly. Focus on your nutrition first.

Oh dear, don't stress too much about those few gray hairs! Stress actually causes more hair fall than anything else, seriously. Just use a mild shampoo, oil your hair gently, and relax—you look beautiful anyway!

I ignored my sudden graying and heavy hair fall, thinking it was just aging, but it turned out to be a severe vitamin B12 and thyroid deficiency. Please don't ignore it. Go get a proper blood test done to see what is missing in your body.

For me, high blood sugar levels often led to poor circulation and hair thinning, regardless of hair color. Managing your diet and keeping your diabetes under check is very important for overall hair health. Don't worry only about the grays.

Before buying those highly expensive hair serums and shampoos, it is much more practical to spend a few hundred rupees on a basic iron and thyroid test. Knowing the root cause saves you thousands of rupees on useless hair products.

I was seeing so much gray hair falling out last month and got scared. I visited a dermatologist who explained that gray hair is just dry and needs more hydration, but it doesn't fall faster than normal hair. I started using a moisturizing conditioner and it is totally fine now.
