5. Trauma
The Marie Antoinette Syndrome is often referred to when someone believes that their graying hair came about suddenly and because of the onset of a traumatic situation. Marie Antoinette was said to suddenly have a head full of white hair the night before she was to be beheaded. Science says that this is false. She more than likely removed her wig. Hair that has already grown out can’t naturally go gray. You can’t go to sleep with dark black hair, and wake up with a head full of white locks. It just doesn’t happen like that. The graying process is gradual, though there are some very rare cases where all the hair can fall out, leaving behind discolored or gray hair.
6. Smoking
A 2013 study published on the National Institute of Health’s website suggests that there is a significant relationship between smoking and gray hair, especially for people under the age of 30. “Smokers were two and half times more prone to develop PHG” (premature hair graying).
