I think I've heard that stress doesn't cause it, but I have to wonder. I've seen too many get grey hair in a hurry, after a stressful event.

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.

well,  i don't think so . i use to be a confident little girl with no worries, but as the years went by, and people started to tease me (and there is a plethora of homework now) i am always concerned, or anxious about me and my school work. i need to learn how to just relax.  i think it is  many moments that lead to one.

I have never heard of this happening, in fact, quite the opposite. Mine wants it even more if he's all stressed out.

My natural hair colour is blond - im the one with my hair up in the photo, I dont believe hair colour has anything to do with they way someone is in bed.\n\nI am more confident with dark hair. Hence the reason its coloured dark brown, Maybe others are more confident with blond hair? Its the person inside not the colour of hair. - i think anyways!

Once the hair color changes, it grows in in the new color. If it has turned grey, any new hair will also be grey. Some people have hair that gets lighter as they grow older, without going grey. Myself, for instance, I had jet-black hair as a youngster, but hair that grows now is of a lighter shade. I'm digressing.\n\nThis is because the "going grey" is due to a loss of pigment in the hair follicle area, so that the pigment that once colored your hair is now gone. Since there is nothing to change the color of your hair, it comes out as grey or white, which would be the natural color of it (so to speak).\n\nNot scientific, I know, but I hope the answer helps.

One night I woke up from the most terrible nightmare I have ever had.  In the dream I got up one morning and went into the bathroom, looked in the mirror and was terrified by the sight of a one inch wide part in my hair.  AT the age of 47, male, and balding, I knew right then that I was putting too much emphasis on my hair.  I knew I was upset by going bald, but I had had not idea that it was affecting me to the point of giving me nightmares.  Later that day, I shaved my head for the first time in my life, and I have been bald ever since.  It suits me, too, and I certainly have had no concerns about my part ever again.  \n\nNow, as to how this little story relates to the question, well, one of the first things I discovered about having a shaved head was that I really did need to invest in hats as opposed to brushes and combs because my head gets really cold at night, even in bed, and I live in L.A..  So, I have concrete evidence that the purpose of hair has to do with its insulating abilties.  Then I believe we can support it historically all the way back to the cavemen who went around naked, but stayed warm because they had hair all over their bodies.  Then I think about my dogs and cats and even ducks with feathers and how the feathers along with oils (which the human scalp produces too) keeps the water away from the duck's skin the same way it does with the dogs and cats.  So, there is alot of commonsensical evidence to support that the function of our hair is to insulate us from the cold and the rain.  It probably will relate to keeping us cool too, in the heat by keeping our sweat away from our skin the way rubber divers' suits do.  Hope this helps.  I was entertained by the memory of the nightmare as evidence of my own vanity.\n\nCC Ryder

Yes definitely.  Stress can cause your body to behave in abnormal ways.  It can delay getting your period, it can make the flow increase or decrease.  I know you mentioned that you are going through some stressful things but try to relax a bit.

IT COULD BE STRESS OR ANXIETY

nothing to worry about. there can be reasons like heredity, but not really due to stress and all that other bs. your hair loses the pigment and turns lighter. mine is turning really white and started when i was about your age!  i love color. highlighting masks it better.

I doubt it. My brother's bedroom is green, and when I'm feeling stressed out I sometimes like to lay in his room because the color calms me.\n\nI think it would really depend on your personal reaction to different colors. I can't stand having too much yellow in rooms, because it makes me anxious, but a few of my friends love yellow rooms because they make them happy.

Wow. Not entirely sure about this one. Let me think.\n\nUm, how about trying to stress less? I mean wouldn't that result in the hair stopping to fall out? I'm not a hairdresser or doctor either, but surely it would also grow healthier given these circumstances. So, what's the root of the stress? Find it and deal with it and perhaps that'll help solve your problem.

Greying hair is genetic from the MOTHERS side. Take a look at your relatives.
