Fact or Fiction?: Stress Causes Gray Hair

The link between gray hair and psychological stress is far more than a folk story rather than a fact, it has not been supported by scientific studies to prove this claim. Wisdom and intelligence go hand in hand, gray hair is not part of it either.

Genes are the main factor in hair color and changes to hair. In the middle years, individuals take on more roles and responsibilities coinciding with the natural process of hair aging, giving the perception that stress can cause gray hair.

Notably, scientists haven't found a link between signs of aging and real aging in the body. They believe that it has something to do with genetics and very little to do with premature. Who among us here have gray hairs, by the way? :)
