there are two factors that cause white hairs... 1) age - as u age your body developes less pigments for your hair.. and hence u get white hairs... 2) stress - the more stress u have the more white hairs u will get.. i donno the scientfic signifigance of this one... but they just seem to be interelated
yea.....stress should be the #1 cause.....but also can be too much use of brain power......------> thinking.....too much..
what you mean by genes lol everyone has white hair when they get older... were taking about having grey hair at young age... in my opinon has nothing to do with genes.
actually i asked my bio prof he said that stress had nothing to do with grey hairs was he joking with me? cause he seemed quite serious
i heard if u get white hairs at young age...their just hairs without pigment...? There used to be this little boy that lived in my street he was like 8 or something he had loads of white hair
It is related to genes... For general population, the gene for hair color doesn't turn off until we get older... but there are many cases where people at a very early age start getting grey hairs. If you watch American Idol, there's a contestant on there right now (Taylor Hicks) who started to have grey hair at the age of 14.
I started to have white hair when I was in my early teens and now my whole head is white! I can't be a crook as I'll be spotted well before. I think it 's in my genes as my mum had it also when she was young. Am I self conscious? I was when younger and chose to sit at the back in the bus. Now I don't care as some ladies find it sexy!
Man, i have never had white hair before, and never want to... um u probs get white hair if u suffer alot from stress but sum ppl just get them at a young age.
