Could stress cause gray hair?

Many Western tabloids included a couple of photographs of famous politicians on their covers, one of which was related to the beginning of person's political career, and the other one was related to its end. Most of the journalists concluded that hard work associated with constant stress leads to the rapid appearance of gray hair.

However, it is natural for people that their hair can only have color for 45-50 years. And although there is some disagreement among scientists regarding the causes of graying, in general, it is associated with loss of pigment. This pigment is produced in the scalp by special cells called melanocytes. When these cells stop working, gray hair appears. For most white people, this process starts around 35 years old and takes around 10 years, depending on the genes. For Africans, this begins somewhat later.

Our hair grows and falls out according to specific cycles, each of which lasts from several years to a decade. After the appearance of the first gray strand, there will be more and more of them with each new cycle. Usually, if you are half gray, you will be completely gray by the end of the next cycle.

Stress can play its role in this process. There is evidence that stress shortens the length of hair's life cycles and can accelerate graying. Stress also creates systematic inflammation that can damage pigment cells. For example, it is common to see young people with autoimmune diseases who have strands of white or gray hair due to inflammation that has damaged the melanocytes.

In short, your hair usually begins to turn gray somewhere between 30 and 50, depending on your DNA. And if you are constantly under the influence of stress, the resulting inflammation can accelerate the process of changing hair color.
