A single white hair?
in Health ·
Seriously though, how is it even possible for hair that’s already several inches long to turn white overnight??? What kind of biological mechanism could possibly strip the dark pigment out of the ends of a hair shaft that's centimeters away from the root?
I’ve never heard of anything like that happening in the human body.
Look, I get that stress can cause new gray hairs to start sprouting up without pigment, but the idea that someone's entire existing hair—already grown out for inches—just turns white all at once because they had a bad day? That’s just fairy tales for kids.
Unless, of course, someone went overboard with some peroxide or some other heavy-duty bleaching agent.
