Spiritual Meaning of White Hair

Updated: Nov 28, 2022



You have transcended into a different level of understanding

Your hair turning white or grey may spiritually mean you have now begun to understand living in this world a little differently than before. It may not be one big shift or moment that came to you, but it was a gradual growth.

It may not even be obvious and to you, you may feel as if you have not changed at all, but your body and spirit attest otherwise.

You may have been self-centered before but now have gotten used to looking out after others. You may be looking after people now and have this sense of needing to help them grow.

You may have been all about the material things before but now yearn to collect experiences and intangible things. You may have begun doing things you have always wanted to do but never did.

Whatever it is, there is something that had shifted in you, and your white hair is the mark that represents that.

White hair is a reminder of all you have been through in this world. I often refer to white hair as " Gods Highlights ".

Another spiritual definition of white hair is that it is your reminder of all your years in this world. As much as it is uncomfortable to think about, your time here is limited and the gray hair is your constant memo.

White hair may be meant to comfort you more than it is meant to remind you of your mortality. You have not seen the world long enough if you do not have gray hair to boast about.

Your hair will also remind you of your experiences and the things you have been through in this world.

You are now part of a group that aims to give more than to receive.

If you have ever watched older people interact before, you may have noticed how they tend to give a lot more than they receive. Whether they were with younger people or people around their age, their goal was always to share instead of take.

From tales to advise and food to warmth, they are reliable and feel as if they are on a different frequency than younger individuals, especially if they live in groups. 

Your mortality is now highlighted.

If you have not done things that you have always wanted nor chased dreams you believed in your heart were your callings, this is the time to reflect and act.

You are in this world for only a limited time, so hesitating, hovering, and procrastinating on things that really matter to you would do you no good.

White hair is your spiritual reminder of a clock ticking within you, and a note to tell you that you ought to do what you wish and feel that you need to do here because you are about to embark in the next stage of your life in a couple of years.



There are things you can control and there are things that you cannot.

The fact that you are still here and have made it this far speaks loud about how far you have managed to come.

When you start growing white hair, remind yourself that there are things that you can control – such as yourself, your lifestyle, your choices – and things you cannot.

The progression of your body is something you can influence, but not as much as you may wish you could. Refuse to focus on one factor when there are a thousand more factors that you could be focusing on.

You are being prepared to enter a new phase.

Grey hair spiritually means you have reached a sufficient age and had lived in this world long enough that you are now ready to do other things. This may mean something in this world like mentoring younger individuals, caring for nature, or making significant differences, or something out of this world that would require you to enter a big transition to move on. The spiritual meaning of having white hair depends on your circumstance in life right now alongside external and internal factors that affect your physical and spiritual body.


Most of all, do not forget to live your life in the now and do your best to not focus on fear and masking your appearance through coloring your hair. As much as I adore coloring hair, there is a inner truth and knowing that we choose to color our hair to change parts of ourselves that need healing internally.


There is a shift happening The worlds people are waking up from the spell. Do not be distracted by negative agendas, false news, low frequency foods, low frequency entertainment, nor by any of the demons busy at work. Transformation is under way regardless within you; right now, as you read this . It is REAL. Trust it, honor it, nurture it, cultivate it and protect it.
