The cause of gray/white hair is the lack of melanin...That is what gives our skin and hair color. For reasons still unknown, certain parts of the body will just stop producing melanin and things like gray hair or lighter patches on the skin will appear. Sun light causes the skin to produce more and that is where we get suntans from. Some people do not produce near as much as others and they have a much lighter complexion. That does not mean they will get gray hair faster, just that they will not tan as easily. The follicles of the hairs that are white or gray are no longer produce any melanin...
