No, I don't think that's true Karen. It just seems that way cause once hair goes gray (losing its color pigmentation), it just takes off.
Yes, gray hair is usually much coarser than the hair you have grown fond of. That is why they have a mind of their own "sticking" out. Some gray hair is so resistant that it can be quite a challenge when curling or perming. The thinness you are experiencing is probably due to the lack of color pigments, therefore making them less 'full' of a hair strand.
