Scientists say stress plays an important role in the formation of gray hair.
Depending on heredity, people begin to turn gray at about 30-40 years old. Most scientists are inclined to believe that this phenomenon is due to the cessation of the production of melanocytes - cells that produce the coloring pigment melanin.
Our hair grows, falls out and grows back. This cycle can last for several years, up to 10. As soon as the first signs of gray hair appear, there are more and more gray hairs with each cycle. If half of your head is already white, then by the end of the next cycle you will be almost completely gray.
And yes, stress can really affect this process.
Scientists have found that stress shortens the hair growth cycle. This means that gray hair appears faster.
In addition, stress also causes systemic inflammation, which contributes to the rapid aging of a person and the disappearance of melanocytes. This is why even young people can have a lot of gray hair.
In general, if you are constantly nervous, you risk finding silver hair ahead of time.
