Can you get gray hair from stress
Studying gray hair is a way to study aging.
According to Picard, hair contains biological information. He likened it to tree trunk rings, which give information about the plant.
“When hairs are still under the skin as follicles, they are subject to the influence of stress hormones and other things happening in our mind and body. Once hairs grow out of the scalp, they harden and permanently crystallize these exposures into a stable form,” Picard said.
First author Ayelet Rosenberg developed a new method for capturing highly detailed images of small slices of human hairs. This quantifies the extent of graying in each slice.
“If you use your eyes to look at a hair, it will seem like it’s the same color throughout unless there is a major transition,” Picard said. “Under a high-resolution scanner, you see small, subtle variations in color, and that’s what we’re measuring.”
Researchers evaluated hairs from 14 volunteers. They were asked to rate their weekly stress level in a diary. Scientists compared hair results to the participant’s diary. When researchers aligned stress hairs with the diary, they noticed a connection to stress and graying hair. Some cases showed graying reversed with stress lifting. Scientists observed some gray hairs naturally regained their original color.
“There was one individual who went on vacation, and five hairs on that person’s head reverted back to dark during the vacation, synchronized in time,” Picard said.
But not everyone will regain their original hair color.
“Based on our mathematical modeling, we think hair needs to reach a threshold before it turns gray,” Picard said. “In middle age, when the hair is near that threshold because of biological age and other factors, stress will push it over the threshold and it transitions to gray.
“But we don’t think that reducing stress in a 70-year-old who’s been gray for years will darken their hair or increasing stress in a 10-year-old will be enough to tip their hair over the gray threshold.”

Unlike physical insurance agencies, websites don't have a specific schedule and they are available at any time. Drivers that have busy working schedules, can compare quotes from anywhere and at any time, even at midnight. Multiple choices. Almost all insurance providers, no matter if they are well-known brands or just local insurers, have an online presence. Online quotes will allow policyholders the chance to discover multiple insurance companies and check their prices. Drivers are no longer required to get quotes from just a few known insurance companies. Also, local and regional insurers can provide lower insurance rates for the same services. Accurate insurance estimates. Online quotes can only be accurate if the customers provide accurate and real info about their car models and driving history. Lying about past driving incidents can make the price estimates to be lower, but when dealing with an insurance company lying to them is useless. Usually, insurance companies will do research about a potential customer before granting him coverage. Online quotes can be sorted easily. Although drivers are recommended to not choose a policy just based on its price, drivers can easily sort quotes by insurance price.
