      hey all
      why does our hair turn grey faster when we r under a lot of stress or as v age?

      As we age, the synthesis of melanine decreases, so our hair’s color turns towards white. Maybe in some way stress inhibts the secretion of MSH hormone by medial lobe of the hypophysis that determines the secretion of melanine. Just a guess on that last one, however

      Are you blond? because i knew a guy with a similar problem. My guess is as good as your parents without any extra info

      that’s right. hair greying at early age has got to do with heridity. but hey it could also be because of other reasons like lack of vitamin b12. if u r sure its not heridity then massaging hair with gooseberry oil may help a lot. 😉

      If your father went gray at an early age, then it is most likely due to genetics.

      Hmm. What color was your father’s hair before he went gray? And what color hair does your mother have?
