My dad told me if you go into through a traumatic exprience this can cause you to loose all your hair through stress. Although I think this rare?

My dad got really sick and had migraines for a few months and at the end of it all, the hair at his temples had turned grey, so I know that stress can have an effect on your hair.

Yeah, i`m 32 and the last 3 months the

more, now its a clear grey shine there -

totally grey some places :( seems a
little..i dont know....soon :( have also
gotten grey hairs in my facial hair i have
noticed lately. One thing is that i`m 32
but i look 25/much younger then i am
people say, so then i guess i look like
a 25 year old with grey hair. Oh great

hair, just to make sure its very visibel -
dammit! :lol: uh, i have to laugh, its
just....uh :lol: i demand that i shall have
brown hair, or be 20 years older - and

Stressed people are more likely to pull out their hair. But the hair itself won't fall out on its own due to stress.

I disagree, but i cant claim to be right - from what
i`ve read and experienced stress can make people
loose hair more rapidly - the same with bad food
habbits

Stress is believed to be a likely factor in sudden on-set, temporary adult-alopecia.
