gray hair
Sign of maturity
Gray hair is hair that has lost its pigment, typically due to aging.
A single strand is a gray hair; the collective condition is simply gray hair: She's getting gray hair.
Having gray hair can signal maturity or distinguish someone: the gray-haired gentleman in the corner.
Figuratively, something that gives you gray hairs causes stress or worry.
