Why does Jesus speak of turning hair black or white?

Matthieu 5:36 (NEG79)

36 Ne jure pas non plus par ta tête, car tu ne peux rendre blanc ou noir un seul cheveu.

Turning hair white is likely a reference to the wisdom of old age, while turning hair black could refer to the strength of youth. 1 In either case, hairs also belong to God (Matthew 10:30) and we do not have control over our life.
