Why does Geralt have white hair in The Witcher?

The face that Geralt has white hair is not because of his age.

Rather, the character’s journey to becoming a witcher has made his hair turn white.

According to Screenrant, witcher apprentices are subjected to intense alchemical processes during their training.

One of these processes is called the “Trial of the Grasses” which is, according to the site, a painful trial in which apprentices are required to down a concoction of special alchemical ingredients which affect their physical appearance.

Not all witchers survive this process, but Geralt was a special case.

He survived and was subject to more gruelling tests, which ended up turning his skin and hair pale white.

They also gave him more super powers than other witchers.
