You store a lot of tension on your scalp- way more than most people realize. If there is too much- like WAY too much, it can kill a few hair follicles.





It happened to me. When I was 17 my boyfriend cheated on me and made me miserable for a month, and I sprouted a grey hair a few weeks after that.Why do people get gray hair from stress?
Actually, grey hair can be hereditary and as well as not producing enough melanin from the roots of your hair follicles. Also, men normally start getting grey hair around the age of forty, and women start getting lighter strands around thirty-five. So far as researchers have proved.
There isn't a known link as to why stress would cause grey hair. Grey hair happens when melanin (the stuff that gives hair color) goes away. It doesn't have anything to do with stress. The only theory is that it's caused by free radicals (things that cause you to age faster).





Hope that helped any.
they don't get it from stress.


they get it from a loss of pigment which is caused from a hormonal change, not necessarily stress.
i stress out all the time and i dont get gray hair.. but i know what you mean, but there's no proof that stress causes grey hair.
