Why does someone's hair turn white when they're under extreme stress?

Why does someone's hair turn white when they're under extreme stress?

i think it may be an urban legend

maybe stress increases the release of age hormones in time, and you will find a greater capacity of whitened head hairs, i think people age quicker when under stress as its not good to be under extreme stress.

just breathe deeply, learn to relax and buy some grecian 200 and you will be fine!

It's a myth. Even if your scalp instantly began producing snow white hair, what about the bulk of the hair already out there? It can't change!
