Scientists at the Ito Lab at New York University's Langone Medical Center have identified the proteins that cause gray hair, which could lead to a cure for it! They have already restored gray-haired mice back to their original color, and back again to gray. "Mouse and the human hairs are very similar in the way they are structured..." states Dr Piul Rabbani "and the way they contain melanocyte stem cells. We found that the wnt signaling pathway is activated the same way."
I hope they find a cure, although i wouldn't mind going gray when I'm older =P
