Does stress really turn our hair gray?

Stress can turn a person's hair gray faster than if they had less stress.  Also, after a particularly traumatic event, a person can have a patch of hair turn completely white.  This has been reported after plane crashes, etc.

Hereditary hair lost occurs between the age of 17 to 25.Stress does have a factor.Use Nioxon,originally design for people going through kemo,all vitamins and herbs.You find it in salons.But remember it will only give what you have -if a follicle is dead and gone nothing will help.But it will stop you from losing more.

I'm afraid that is inevitable especially if it is in your genes.  Of course you can always try delaying the inevitable by avoiding situations which cause hair loss such as too much stress and by using topical treatments such as rogaine or even dabbing aloe vera on your scalp regularly.

Well, there can be a lot of reasons. If you process your hair by dying or perming, you can be overprocessing it and it can be getting so damaged that it is breaking off and coming out. Time for a deep conditioner.\n\nYou could be getting older and it is just genetics starting to work on you.\n\nYou could have a disease that is stressing your body and causing your hair to fall out - or from not getting the right nourishment.\n\nYou could also loose your hair from stress - stress can affect the body in lots of ways. If it is coming out in clumps, maybe you should go see a doctor.

Oh Mamasita, NO!  I've tried everything.  You just have to fight it all the way.  Take your vitamins and eat right,  keep your skin clean and moisturized (a good eye cream like PorVentin-AT liftin serum, available at CVS $20) helps.  The grey hair....I dye it.  I stay as active in youthful stuff, actually I never stopped rock and rollin'

No a concussion will not cause your hair to become grey. A concussion is mild to moderate brain injury that can cause disorientation and headaches due to the swollen the brain which leads to compression of the blood vessels there. This has nothing to do with the hair turning grey. \n\nYou see grey hair is dead hair. So probably due to certain medications or possibly if the hair follicles was damaged in the hit to the head which cause the concussion then probably after awhile it may become grey as it may loss its life. Another reasoncan be due to medication that is placed on the head. This can damage the hair and cause it to become grey. \n\nFor example some people put alcohol on their head when they have a headache and indeed it may help, but it also damages the hair and causes it to becomes grey.

Yes. I have gone through it. People react different to it. It usually happens when people realize that they are not "young" anymore and inside they still feel young, but on the outside they are wrinkling up and truning grey. The outside appearance does not jive with inside feelings.

The root of every strand of hair is surrounded by a tube of tissue under the skin that is called the hair follicle (say: fah-lih-kul). Each hair follicle contains a certain number of pigment cells. These pigment cells continuously produce a chemical called melanin (say: meh-luh-nin) that gives the growing shaft of hair its color of brown, blonde, red, and anything in between. \n\nMelanin is the same stuff that makes our skin's color fair or darker. It also helps determine whether a person will burn or tan in the sun. The dark or light color of someone's hair depends on how much melanin each hair contains.\n\nAs we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color - like gray, silver, or white - as it grows. As people continue to get older, fewer pigment cells will be around to produce melanin. Eventually, the hair will look completely gray. \n\nPeople can get gray hair at any age. Some people go gray at a young age - as early as when they are in high school or college - whereas others may be in their 30s or 40s before they see that first gray hair. How early we get gray hair is determined by our genes. This means that most of us will start having gray hairs around the same age that our parents or grandparents first did. \n\nGray hair is more noticeable in people with darker hair because it stands out, but people with naturally lighter hair are just as likely to go gray. From the time a person notices a few gray hairs, it may take more than 10 years for all of that person's hair to turn gray. \n\nSome people think that a big shock or trauma can turn a person's hair white or gray overnight, but scientists don't really believe that this happens. Just in case, try not to freak out your parents too much. You don't want to be blamed for any of their gray hairs!

Hair turns gray as we age because the follicles at the base of the hair shaft cease to produce melanin. Each follicle contains a finite number of pigment cells. These pigment cells produce melanin, a chemical that gives the hair shaft (the visible strands) its color (black, brown, blonde, red, and all shades in between.) The darkness or lightness of your hair depends on how much melanin each strand contains. Melanin is the same pigment that makes skin tan upon exposure to the sun.\n\nWith age, the pigment cells in the follicle gradually die off. As they do so, that strand will no longer contain as much color and will show up as silver, gray, or white as it grows. Eventually, all the pigment cells will die and the hair becomes completely gray.\n\nThe age at which you go gray is determined by your genes.

Yes, and depression can also cause stress.  It's kind of like the chicken and the egg question.  If your depression goes on for any length of time maybe you better see your doctor before it gets out of hand.
