It's official, Work stress could be making your hair Colour disappear, say scientists.

Scientists have confirmed what we have always suspected - stress can cause your hair to go grey.
While stress hormones are known to influence the colour of our skin, it seems the same process also affect the shade of our hair.
When an injury occurs, stem cells responsible for producing melanin - the dark pigment that protects the body from sunlight - move from the base of the hair to the skin, to help limit the damage.

In a study in mice, it was found that the appearance of grey hairs could be the result of a depletion of stems cells.
Stem cells are the building blocks of tissue growth. They can transform into any other type of cell the body is built from and so should be able to repair everything from the brain to the heart.
Hair and skin colour is controlled by melanocyte stem cells which are found in the base of hair follicles - an area known as the bulge.
Dr Mayumi Ito and colleagues from New York University, U.S., discovered stress not only causes stem cells to disappear, but when they do they are not replaced.

Therefore, the hairs turn white.

But how do they cause a mice to become stressful? na wa oh.
