Can your hair really turn white if your scared?

I don't know about being really scared, and it definately isn't instant.  However, it's documented (though I can't remember where) that soldiers who came back from WWI would sometimes have gray hair, even if they were only in their twenties.  So I don't know about being scared, but tons of stress can definately make you go gray early.

From what I've heard, yes, too much stress can lead to your hair turning gray.

Once you get out of high school the color of your hair will not matter anymore. These people are stereotyping you because it is probably the only thing they can think of in order to make fun of you. Just have fun and don't worry.

no never be afraid of what you look like. try spending a few hours in the sun and that will reduce your paleness and seem to make your feckles "dissappear". besides some guys like freckles ;)

Try and tell her in a nicer way like suggesting cures for her dandruff instead of just telling her she's got dandruff. If she's african/black she must put lemon juice in the water that she uses to rinse her hair when shampooing or rinse with rooibos tea after shampooing and stay for 5 minutes before rinsing it out. I wouldn't have information on whites' hair-sorry

yes you should. when you suppress what you feel, and not way to vent, your only hurting yourself. if you are scared, record yourself in a room and upload it online and see what people think. the most important thing though is how you feel about yourself. know who you are and then the confidence will shine through.

The stress you are undergoing is very likely to be causing your hair problems.

I'm white as a flavorless snow cone, but a couple of thoughts. First, make sure your scalp is wet when you cut it. Second, don't repeat cutting/shaving the same spot: do it once. Third, \nif this is a continual problem, see a dermatologist: they can hook you up with a mild topical antibiotic that will help.

The phenomenon is called piloerection, which basically means hair standing up.  It is caused by tiny muscles attached to the roots of the hairs pulling the hairs upright.  \n\nPiloerection is an vestigial reaction, meaining that it served a purpose in the past, but now no longer does.  When we were hairier, it helped keep us warm.  Think of a cat or dog that fluffs up its fur when it is cold.  The upright hair traps air in the fur, which serves as an insulator.  \n\nAnimals also often fluff their fur like this when they are preparing to attack, to make themselves look larger and bulkier, hopefully intimidating their opponent.  That is why you also get goose pimples when you are scared.

yes, it is a natural reaction. your body is trying to keep you warm by making your hair grow. it is just like when the hair on your arms stand up when you are cold. It drives me crazy because I get cold easily and I have to shave like a million times a day.

Quite simply, shock.\n\nThe body has a limited blood supply thatit normally rations to different areas. An extreme psychological shock causes all the blood vessels to expand everywhere and their isn't enough blood to fill them all. As a result the highest body areas, ie the face, drain of blood very rapidly. Wihtout any blood colouring it the face becomes white.\n\nFor the same reason fear can easily cause peopel to faint because the brain itself has insufficient blood flow.

Well I assume you are white so have you ever considered that you have lice (do you live with animals in the house??). If not then start by thoroughly washing your hair with medicated shampoo. Then use a light oil or grease in your hair. Sulfur 8 works for me and my kids when their heads start to itch. A little oil/grease wont hurt anybody, no matter what hair type!!

Sometimes, "premature graying" (what you're referring to) happens/begins to happen as early as in the 20's and 30's...some people start having it happen later. It's a heredity and genetic thing. Hair color is the only thing I know that can make it LOOK BETTER--nothing, as of this moment, can stop it. The pigment (the thing that determines hair color) is gone in those spaces where the gray or white are. Don't freak out.
