When did you notice you had grey hairs?

Does stress actually make your hair go grey? Because some of my hair is grey, brown, grey, brown...like a frikken fossil! You can actually track the times of great stress in my life by the pattern of my grey hair. And then some is just flat out grey. I pull them out

I've heard it said that every time you pull out a grey hair 4 more come to its funeral.

Yep I heard that too...

I think it can be related to stress. Maybe it's a combo of stress & genetics. My mum went grey quite early & she has suffered significant stress in her life particularly in her late teens & early twenties. She comes from a large family who otherwise seem blessed with late greying hair. I don't have any scientific studies to back that up though.

I really don't think it has anything to do with stress.

My aunt went grey in her twenties in a family of ten where none of the others went grey prematurely. I think that's just throwback genetics. She did not suffer more stress than anyone else.

I'd like to be a little more grey. Goes better with my wig. And makes me look more authentic

I always say, when I get a grey hair out of nowhere, it was coz of one of my kids. But I actually think grey hair is genetic, and not related to stress. But I have NO scientific evidence to back this up. Just saying though, with 3 grown up kids, including one with a drug addiction, 2 divorces, IVF and moving countries, then states, I should probably have a full head of grey hair if it was stress-related!
