Apologies if this has been asked before.
I was wondering if it is actually true that stress can cause grey hairs to come in, or if it's all poppycock!
As well, assuming the stress has abated, can the greys change back?
I ask because about a year and a couple of months ago, I went through a major breakup with a bf of 3 years who I lived with, had to find a new apartment, lost my job, and had other significant stresses with friends and family. I had numerous significant nervous breakdowns.
I also stopped dyeing my hair about a year ago, and I have about 20-30 greys which are from that time.
Both my parents just started going grey in their late 50's. My older brother doesn't have any grey.
I'm also wondering if it could be a vitamin B deficiency, as I have other symptoms of that.
Anyone know? I don't completely mind the greys, but I would be happier if they eventually grew out.
