Greying of hair is caused by several factors.Vitamin deficiency, protein deficiency are related to nutrition. Hereditary factor is also one of them.Stress has a bearing on greying of hair. yes.. stress can cause gray hair, but dont pull them out because it caues more to come and when they do to be thinker and more noticable

Stress CAN cause grey hair, but it can be genetical, too.

I think so. I look at my students here in Taiwan, they are under immense stress, and I see how they are going grey before they are 15 years old. Not completely but there are plenty more strands of gray on their heads than on mine. and I am 27.

Oh yes, stress can cause grey hair, health problems, sometimes very serious.
Try to relax so you can stay healthy.

i belive stress could cause grey hairs. am 24 and i notice alot more grey hairs on my head, and yes it has been stressful ever since i met my bypolar girlfreind. a few years ago there were less than what i count now days so yes i believe so

YEAH IT CAN

Yes, Stress can make your hair turn Grey..it can also make it fall out. I would suggest that you take care of your business, get some therapy if need be, get ride of friends that cause problems take care of you.always first. Grey or bald.it is your choice.

I think so I also get gray hairs, and I'm 24. I developed my first gray hair @ 21, and its added over the years. I particularly noticed the development after having a nightmare. I woke up feeling terrified after that nightmare, and the following morning i noticed Ia few gray strains of hair shooting straight up. So, to answer your question, I do believe stress, or feeling overwhelmed contributes to gray hair. i recommend taking up yoga, or walking for @ least 20 minutes, or something not so strenuous. That usually helps with stress. best of luck!

you need to see your obgyn. yes stress can caus grey hair, Men and Children too lol. but you do need to see your Dr.
