What causes GREY H?
As we get older, the pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die. When there are fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, that strand of hair will no longer contain as much melanin and will become a more transparent color — like gray, silver, or white — as it grows. Eventually, the hair will look completely gray.
What does it mean when you turn GREY?
Pallor, or pale skin, and grayish or blue skin are a result of a lack of oxygenated blood. Your blood carries oxygen around your body, and when this is disrupted, you see a discoloration. The disruption may be to the flow of blood itself, which produces paleness or a gray tint to skin tone.
Is GREY hair caused by stress?

This may lead to “overnight” graying because previously present gray or white hairs suddenly become more obvious.

Other women will tell you that you are “brave” to go gray. Sometimes, you’ll hear this more than once in the same day! It seems to be one of the most common remarks people make when they see your transitioning hair. I really think that most women who say this mean well. They really do!
